Description of Dedicated Servers

When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three principal varieties - hosting servers, VPS (private virtual hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers host numerous clients and therefore the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS give you more configuration liberty, but also influence other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated servers offer you the opportunity 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 hosting servers or virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your company has a resource-swallowing web portal, or just has very precise server architecture requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and dependability, the bigger price is of no importance. You are bestowed with complete server root access and can use 100% of the dedicated web hosting server's system resources without anyone else using these system resources and messing with your sites.

Hardware architectures

Most hosting providers, including us at jearLife Hosting, offer different hardware architectures you can pick from in keeping with your necessities. The hardware architectures offer different sorts of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server hard drive sizes and different monthly traffic usage quotas. You can pick a Control Panel, which is a handy user interface if you wish to use the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to use a Secure Shell console for all the modifications you will be making. We offer three types of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choice

If you are a confident Linux user (our web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers through a Secure Shell tunnel only. That, however, could be awkward, even more so if you decide to give full server root privileges to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having hosting CP software pre-activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia Control Panel tool that we provide does not give you root privileges and is chiefly suitable for someone who owns plenty of web portals that demand lots of resources, but wants to administer the web pages, databases and email aliases using an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant full root-level access and have three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts rather than utilizing the dedicated servers solely for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is advisable to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at jearLife Hosting the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the web hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a kind of RAID that would permit you to keep the very same data on two hard drives as a precaution in the event of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given access erases something by mistake.
