Dedicated Server Packages Revealed

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three main sorts - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers host multiple customers and so the system resources per web hosting account are limited, virtual private servers offer more configuration liberty, but also affect other virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers offer you the liberty to carry out everything you wish without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or virtual private hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your corporation has a big web site, or simply has very special web server configuration requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is of no concern. You receive root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else sharing these resources and interfering with your online portals.

Hardware specs

The majority of website hosting distributors, incl. us at Adalike, provide different hardware architectures you can pick from in consonance with your demands. The hardware configurations include different types of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different traffic quotas. You can choose a web hosting CP, which is a convenient GUI if you would like to use the dedicated servers for hosting purposes only and choose not to use a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell terminal exclusively. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you wish to give full root privileges to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is a bright idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP tool that we offer does not give you root-level access and is chiefly appropriate for someone who runs a lot of sites that demand lots of resources, but would like to administer the websites, databases and e-mailboxes through an intuitive web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full server root access and include three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your web hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at Adalike the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers too. Backups are also a bonus feature - the web hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on 2 disk drives as a protective measure in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted root access deletes something accidentally.
