What is Dedicated Servers Hosting?

When we speak of hosting servers, there are 3 basic sorts - shared website hosting web servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting servers host many customers and hence the resources per web hosting account are limited, virtual private server accounts give you more server configuration independence, but also influence other private virtual hosting servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated servers offer you the opportunity to carry out everything you prefer without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or private virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is very simple. If your company has a high resource-devouring web page, or simply has very precise server architecture requirements, the most suitable choice is a dedicated server. For someone who is inclined to invest in safety and stability, the greater price is not a concern. You obtain full server root privileges and can use 100% of the physical server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware architectures

The majority of shared hosting suppliers, incl. us at TronLite Web Services, provide several hardware configurations you can pick from on the basis of your requirements. The configurations include different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth quotas. You can pick a hosting CP, which is handy software if you want to use the dedicated hosting server for website hosting purposes solely and choose not to use a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux user (our hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server via a Secure Shell terminal only. That, though, could be awkward, even more so if you want to grant complete root access to someone else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a clever idea. The Hepsia Control Panel software tool that we provide does not offer complete server root access and is mostly suitable for someone who has a lot of websites that swallow plenty of resources, but wishes to administer the web sites, databases and mail aliases via an easy-to-use web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant root privileges and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated hosting server solely for yourself, you should select 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 problem with your web server, like a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring system enabled. Here at TronLite Web Services 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 hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to have the very same data on two hard disks as a protective measure in the event of a server disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root-level access erases something by mistake.
