Explanation of Dedicated Web Hosting

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 major sorts - website hosting servers, VPS (virtual hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared hosting servers host plenty of clients and thus the resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more server configuration liberty, but also affect other private virtual web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers give you the autonomy to carry out everything you desire without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are commonly much more high-priced than shared web servers or private virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is rather simple. If your firm has a popular web page, or simply has very exact server configuration requirements, the most reasonable option would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and reliability, the bigger price is not a concern. You are given root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's resources without anyone else sharing these resources and intervening with your online portals.

Hardware configurations

Most web hosting firms, including us at Tellus Hosting, offer different hardware architectures you can choose from depending on your requirements. The hardware configurations offer different sorts of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different traffic quotas. You can choose a hosting Control Panel, which is a handy tool if you would like to use the dedicated web hosting servers for web hosting purposes only and prefer not to use an SSH console for all the modifications you will be making. We provide three sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your preference

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our dedicated web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting servers via an SSH tunnel only. That, though, could be awkward, especially if you choose to grant complete root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. That is why having hosting CP software installed is a good idea. The Hepsia hosting CP user interface that we provide does not include root privileges and is mostly appropriate for somebody who runs multiple websites that consume lots of resources, but wants to manage the websites, databases and e-mail accounts through an easy-to-use hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages instead of using the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated web hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your web server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a network outage, it is advisable to have some kind of monitoring system activated. Here at Tellus Hosting the system administrators monitor all dedicated web hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated web hosting servers too. Backups are also an extra option - the hosting services provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on 2 server hard drives as a precaution in the event of a server hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted root privileges deletes something unintentionally.
