Dedicated Plans Description

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three main kinds - hosting servers, VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host numerous customers and hence the system resources per user account are restricted, VPS offer more server configuration autonomy, but also influence other VPS web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized heedlessly, and dedicated servers offer you the autonomy to do everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are usually much more expensive than shared web hosting servers or virtual web hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is rather simple. If your firm has a content-heavy website, or simply has very explicit server setup requirements, the smartest option would be a dedicated servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in safety and reliability, the higher price is not an issue. You are given root-level access and can utilize 100% of the hosting server's resources without anyone else using these resources and messing with your online portals.

Hardware configurations

The majority of hosting suppliers, incl. us at EzyWeb Hosting Solutions, offer several different hardware configurations you can choose from depending on your needs. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth usage quotas. You can choose a hosting CP, which is a handy user interface if you wish to utilize the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to use an SSH terminal for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three sorts of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your preference

If you are a confident Linux user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated servers through an SSH client exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, even more so if you choose to grant full root privileges to someone else who has less technical abilities than yourself. That is why having hosting CP software pre-activated is an intelligent idea. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel software that we provide does not include full server root access and is mostly suitable for someone who has plenty of websites that consume lots of system resources, but would rather administer the online portals, databases and email boxes using an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full server root privileges and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages instead of using the dedicated servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated web hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or an outage, it is good to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at EzyWeb Hosting Solutions the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers as well. Backups are also a bonus feature - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in case of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root access erases something by mistake.
