What Indeed is Dedicated Hosting?

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three principal kinds - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared web servers accommodate numerous clients and thus the system resources per user account are restricted, VPS hosting offer more configuration liberty, but also influence other VPSs on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated hosting servers give you the chance to do everything you desire without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are typically much more high-priced than shared hosting servers or private virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is very simple. If your corporation has a high resource-devouring web page, or just has very precise server setup requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the bigger price is of no concern. You are given root-level access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated hosting server's system resources without anyone else availing of these resources and interfering with your web portals.

Hardware architectures

Most hosting suppliers, incl. us at Meeky Boost, provide several hardware architectures you can choose from according to your requirements. The configurations offer different varieties of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different web traffic allowances. You can select a web hosting CP, which is a convenient interface if you would like to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to an SSH client for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three kinds of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your preference

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our dedicated servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated hosting through a Secure Shell console only. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you decide to give full root access to somebody else who has less technical expertise than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software activated is a brilliant idea. The Hepsia hosting CP GUI that we provide does not give you complete root-level access and is chiefly suitable for someone who has numerous online portals that demand a lot of resources, but wants to administer the web portals, databases and electronic mail addresses using an intuitive web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you root access and offer 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated hosting servers only for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at Meeky Boost the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on 2 server hard disk drives as a precaution in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root-level access deletes something by mistake.
