How Dedicated Hosting Works

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 basic categories - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared web servers accommodate many clients and so the system resources per account are restricted, VPS hosting give you more server configuration liberty, but also affect other virtual servers on the hardware node if used heedlessly, and dedicated hosting servers offer you the freedom to perform everything you decide without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are generally much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or private virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is quite simple. If your company has a popular web portal, or simply has very exact server configuration requirements, the wisest option would be a dedicated hosting servers. For somebody who is inclined to invest in security and stability, the bigger price is not a problem. You acquire complete root-level access and can use 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else sharing these resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of website hosting vendors, including us at My Biz Mobi Host, provide different hardware configurations you can pick from based on your necessities. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different bandwidth usage quotas. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is a handy software tool if you want to utilize the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell console for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated hosting via an SSH tunnel only. That, though, could be awkward, particularly if you wish to grant complete root access to somebody else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having web hosting CP software pre-installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia Control Panel GUI that we offer does not include full server root privileges and is mostly appropriate for somebody who has a lot of websites that swallow a lot of resources, but wants to administer the websites, databases and email box accounts using an intuitive web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full server root access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting plans rather than using the dedicated hosting servers just 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 hosting servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your web server, like an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at My Biz Mobi Host the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers too. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting supplier offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would allow you to store the same data on two hard disks as a precaution in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full root-level access erases something by accident.
