Dedicated Packages Definition

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three basic sorts - shared hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers accommodate a lot of clients and thus the resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS plans give you more server configuration freedom, but also affect other virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the independence to perform everything you see fit without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your company has a high resource-swallowing web site, or just has very precise web server configuration requirements, the most intelligent option is a dedicated server. For someone who is willing to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is not a concern. You get full root privileges and can use 100% of the web server's resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your web pages.

Hardware specs

The majority of hosting distributors, incl. us at GlobalNet WebHosting - Hepsia Control Panel, provide several different hardware configurations you can pick from according to your demands. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different monthly traffic allowances. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is a useful interface if you want to utilize the hosting server for web hosting purposes only and choose not to use a Secure Shell console for all the changes you will be making. We provide three sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choice

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server through a Secure Shell console exclusively. That, however, could be awkward, even more so if you choose to give root access to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software pre-activated is a brilliant idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP GUI that we offer does not offer root access and is mostly suitable for someone who maintains many sites that consume plenty of resources, but wishes to administer the websites, databases and e-mail box accounts through a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full server root privileges and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting accounts rather than utilizing the server just 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 server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Here at GlobalNet WebHosting - Hepsia Control Panel the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated server too. Backups are also a bonus feature - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to save the same data on 2 server hard drives as a precaution in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given access erases something accidentally.
