Dedicated Plans Explanation

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are three main categories - hosting servers, VPS (virtual servers) and dedicated servers. Shared hosting web servers host plenty of clients and therefore the system resources per user account are limited, VPS offer more server configuration freedom, but also influence other private virtual web servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated servers offer you the chance to do everything you think fit without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are commonly much more expensive than shared servers or Virtual Private Servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is rather simple. If your company has a high resource-consuming website, or just has very special server setup requirements, the best choice would be a dedicated servers. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and reliability, the greater price is of no concern. You are given root access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated web server's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and messing with your websites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of website hosting distributors, including us at EzyWeb Hosting Solutions, offer several different hardware architectures you can pick from in consonance with your requirements. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server disk drive sizes and different web traffic quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a useful GUI if you would like to utilize the dedicated servers for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We provide three kinds of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated servers via a Secure Shell tunnel only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you wish to grant full root privileges to somebody else who has less technical knowledge than yourself. This is why having hosting CP software pre-activated is a splendid idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel interface that we offer does not include full root privileges and is mainly suitable for somebody who has multiple web sites that absorb lots of system resources, but would rather administer the online portals, databases and email accounts via a user-friendly hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you root privileges and have three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts instead of utilizing the dedicated servers just 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 servers and of backing it up. In the event of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at EzyWeb Hosting Solutions 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 servers as well. Backups are also an additional option - the web hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the same data on two server hard disks as a protective measure in the event of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given complete root-level access erases something by mistake.
