Dedicated Servers Web Hosting Description

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are 3 basic varieties - shared web hosting servers, VPS (virtual web servers) and dedicated server web hosting. Shared servers host many customers and therefore the resources per account are restricted, VPS web hosting offer more server configuration freedom, but also influence other VPS web servers on the hardware node if utilized imprudently, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the freedom to perform everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are commonly much more expensive than shared hosting servers or private virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is very simple. If your company has a high-traffic website, or simply has very exact server setup requirements, the smartest choice would be a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is inclined to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not an issue. You are granted full root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated web hosting server's resources without anyone else using these resources and intervening with your web pages.

Hardware specs

The majority of website hosting providers, including us at Quintiva, provide different hardware configurations you can select from on the basis of your necessities. The hardware architectures offer different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth quotas. You can choose a web hosting Control Panel, which is a convenient GUI if you want to utilize the dedicated web hosting 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 hosting CP software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choice

If you are a self-assured Linux user (our web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting servers via a Secure Shell console exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you choose to grant complete root access to somebody else who has less technical abilities than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software installed is a smart idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel interface that we provide does not offer complete root-level access and is mainly suitable for someone who owns numerous websites that demand a lot of resources, but wants to manage the online portals, databases and e-mailboxes through a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete root-level access and include 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting accounts rather than utilizing the dedicated web hosting servers solely for yourself, you should select 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 the event of a predicament with your hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Quintiva 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 as well. Backups are also an additional 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 same data on 2 server hard disk drives as a precaution in case of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given root privileges deletes something by mistake.
