Dedicated Hosting Clarified

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three main categories - shared web hosting web servers, VPS (virtual private hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared hosting web servers host a lot of customers and hence the system resources per hosting account are limited, virtual private server accounts give you more configuration freedom, but also influence other virtual private web servers on the hardware node if used imprudently, and dedicated servers give you the independence to carry out everything you prefer without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more expensive than shared servers or virtual private web servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The reply is rather simple. If your company has a resource-consuming web portal, or just has very exact web server setup requirements, the most suitable option is a dedicated server. For somebody who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the bigger price is not a problem. You are bestowed with root privileges and can use 100% of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else availing of these resources and meddling with your sites.

Hardware specs

The majority of shared hosting companies, incl. us at Aviqu, offer several hardware architectures you can pick from in keeping with your demands. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk sizes and different monthly bandwidth usage quotas. You can select a web hosting CP, which is a handy GUI if you would like to utilize the web hosting server for web hosting purposes solely and choose not to resort to an SSH terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of web hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-assured Linux OS user (our dedicated servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server via an SSH console only. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you wish to grant root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting CP software pre-activated is a great idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP interface that we offer does not include complete root access and is mostly suitable for somebody who maintains numerous web sites that consume a lot of resources, but desires to manage the online portals, databases and e-mail aliases via an easy-to-use Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, give you complete root access and offer 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting plans instead of using the web server only for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated hosting web server, like a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Aviqu 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 hosting server too. Backups are also a bonus option - the hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to store the very same data on two hard disks as a precaution in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges erases something by mistake.
