Dedicated Servers Hosting Description

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three main sorts - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers accommodate a lot of clients and therefore the resources per account are limited, VPS hosting give you more server configuration independence, but also affect other virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated hosting servers give you the chance to carry out everything you decide without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are traditionally much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or VPSs. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is very simple. If your corporation has a high-traffic website, or simply has very exact server architecture requirements, the proper option would be a dedicated hosting servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in safety and stability, the bigger price is not a concern. You get complete root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated server's resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your web sites.

Hardware specs

The majority of website hosting service providers, including us at LCS IT and Media Services Hosting, provide several hardware architectures you can pick from in accordance with your necessities. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and hard drive sizes and different traffic allowances. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is a handy GUI if you wish to use the dedicated hosting servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to use a Secure Shell terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated servers through a Secure Shell console exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you decide to give complete root-level access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a great idea. The Hepsia Control Panel graphical user interface that we offer does not include complete root-level access and is mostly appropriate for someone who has plenty of online portals that swallow plenty of resources, but wants to manage the sites, databases and e-mails via an intuitive web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you root privileges and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated hosting servers just for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at LCS IT and Media Services Hosting 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 pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on two hard disks as a protective measure in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root privileges erases something by mistake.
