Description of Dedicated Hosting Packages

When we speak of web hosting servers, there are 3 main kinds - shared hosting web servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated hosting servers. Shared hosting web servers host numerous customers and thus the resources per hosting account are limited, virtual private server plans give you more configuration freedom, but also influence other virtual private hosting servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated servers offer you the freedom to perform everything you decide without intervening with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated hosting server?

Dedicated servers are usually much more expensive than shared hosting web servers or virtual private hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your corporation has a high resource-demanding online portal, or simply has very explicit web server configuration requirements, the most appropriate choice would be a dedicated server. For somebody who is willing to invest in security and reliability, the bigger price is not a concern. You acquire full root privileges and can utilize 100 percent of the web hosting server's system resources without anyone else sharing these resources and meddling with your websites.

Hardware specifications

Most web hosting firms, including us at My Hosting Beats, offer several hardware architectures you can select from in keeping with your needs. The hardware architectures include different varieties of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and server disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can select a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful GUI if you want to utilize the server for web hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use an SSH console for all the changes you will be making. We provide three kinds of hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server via an SSH terminal only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you decide to give root privileges to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software installed is a bright idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel tool that we offer does not include root-level access and is mainly appropriate for someone who has many online portals that consume lots of resources, but desires to manage the web sites, databases and mailboxes using a user-friendly web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant full root access and include 3 access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting accounts rather than utilizing the dedicated server just for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated web hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or a network downtime, it is good to have some sort of monitoring platform activated. Here at My Hosting Beats the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting server too. Backups are also a bonus option - the web hosting solutions provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could choose a type of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on two hard disks as a protective measure in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full root privileges erases something unintentionally.
