Dedicated Packages Explanation

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are 3 main sorts - hosting servers, VPS (private virtual servers) and dedicated packages. Shared hosting web servers host a lot of clients and therefore the resources per user account are limited, VPS give you more server configuration liberty, but also affect other VPS servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the opportunity to carry out everything you please without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are usually much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is rather simple. If your firm has a resource-requiring site, or simply has very precise server configuration requirements, the most appropriate option would be a dedicated servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the higher price is not a problem. You are bestowed with full root-level access and can utilize 100% of the physical machine's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and interfering with your web pages.

Hardware specifications

The majority of website hosting firms, including us at Bethnan Hosting, provide different hardware architectures you can pick from as per your requirements. The hardware configurations offer different kinds of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and server hard drive sizes and different monthly traffic usage quotas. You can choose a Control Panel, which is a convenient interface if you wish to utilize the dedicated servers for website hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We provide 3 kinds of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The web hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated servers through an SSH console only. That, though, could be inconvenient, especially if you wish to grant complete root access to somebody else who has less technical skills than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-installed is a great idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP tool that we offer does not offer root privileges and is chiefly appropriate for somebody who maintains lots of web sites that swallow a lot of resources, but desires to manage the web sites, databases and mail addresses via an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you full root privileges and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting packages rather than using the dedicated servers just 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 predicament with your 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 Bethnan Hosting 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 provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to have the very same data on 2 hard drives as a protective measure in case of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root privileges deletes something accidentally.
