Dedicated Servers Definition

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three major sorts - hosting servers, VPS (private virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host a lot of clients and thus the system resources per hosting account are limited, VPS give you more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other VPS web servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated servers give you the possibility to carry out everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are traditionally much more expensive than shared servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is very simple. If your corporation has a heavy resource-requiring web portal, or just has very exact server setup requirements, the right choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and reliability, the greater price is of no concern. You gain full root privileges and can use 100% of the physical machine's resources without anyone else using these resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware configurations

The majority of website hosting distributors, including us at Real Biz Host, provide different hardware configurations you can pick from based on your requirements. The hardware configurations include different sorts of microprocessors, a different number of cores, different RAM and hard drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is useful software if you would like to utilize the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell connection exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, especially if you want to give complete root-level access to somebody else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is a smart idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel GUI that we offer does not offer full root-level access and is mainly appropriate for someone who has a lot of web pages that absorb lots of resources, but would like to manage the websites, databases and email aliases via an intuitive web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete root access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting packages instead of utilizing the dedicated servers only for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at Real Biz Host the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated servers too. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting company offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted access erases something by mistake.
