Dedicated Web Hosting Description

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are three basic types - website hosting servers, VPS (virtual servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared web servers host multiple customers and therefore the resources per account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more configuration autonomy, but also affect other VPS servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated web hosting servers give you the autonomy to carry out everything you please without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are commonly much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your corporation has a heavy resource-demanding web portal, or simply has very precise web server configuration requirements, the smartest choice would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is not a problem. You have complete root-level access and can utilize 100% of the web server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your websites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of web hosting vendors, including us at Innovator Host, offer several different hardware architectures you can choose from in keeping with your demands. The configurations offer different kinds of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different bandwidth quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a convenient GUI if you want to use the dedicated web hosting servers for hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 types of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your preference

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting through an SSH client only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you want to give access to somebody else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software installed is a nice idea. The Hepsia Control Panel software that we offer does not include full root-level access and is mostly suitable for someone who maintains lots of web pages that absorb plenty of system resources, but would like to manage the web pages, databases and email mailbox accounts using a user-friendly Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you full root access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is desirable to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at Innovator Host the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated web hosting servers as well. Backups are also an additional option - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on 2 server hard disks as a protective measure in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full server root privileges erases something by accident.
