Dedicated Servers Description

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three major varieties - shared web hosting servers, VPS (virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared servers host a lot of clients and thus the resources per hosting account are limited, VPS accounts give you more configuration liberty, but also affect other private virtual servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers offer you the possibility to perform everything you prefer without meddling with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are typically much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or private virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is quite simple. If your company has a resource-demanding web site, or just has very exact web server setup requirements, the proper option would be a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in safety and dependability, the greater price is of no concern. You obtain complete root access and can utilize 100 percent of the dedicated hosting web server's system resources without anyone else availing of these resources and messing with your web sites.

Hardware architectures

Most hosting corporations, including us at NUBE.in, offer different hardware architectures you can choose from in accordance with your requirements. The hardware configurations include different sorts of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM and hard drive sizes and different traffic quotas. You can choose a hosting Control Panel, which is a convenient interface if you would like to use the dedicated web server for website hosting purposes only and prefer not to use a Secure Shell client for all the modifications you will be making. We provide 3 sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting Control Panel of your choosing

If you are a self-reliant Linux OS user (our dedicated servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could manage your dedicated server via an SSH terminal exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, especially if you choose to give root access to somebody else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software installed is a fine idea. The Hepsia hosting CP graphical user interface that we provide does not include full root-level access and is mainly appropriate for somebody who has plenty of web sites that devour a lot of system resources, but would like to manage the sites, databases and email addresses via a user-friendly hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel web hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete root-level access and include three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated hosting web server only for yourself, you should select one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup procedures

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your dedicated hosting server, such as an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is desirable to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at NUBE.in 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 server too. Backups are also an additional feature - the hosting distributor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to store the very same data on two server hard drives as a protective measure in case of a hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root-level access deletes something unintentionally.
