Dedicated Web Hosting Explanation

When we speak of hosting servers, there are three main kinds - website hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated web hosting. Shared servers accommodate plenty of clients and hence the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS web hosting give you more configuration liberty, but also influence other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the possibility to do everything you prefer without interfering with anyone else.

Why would you need a dedicated web hosting servers?

Dedicated web hosting servers are commonly much more high-priced than shared web hosting servers or VPS hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is very simple. If your corporation has a resource-absorbing site, or simply has very special web server architecture requirements, the most sensible choice is a dedicated web hosting servers. For someone who is willing to invest in security and stability, the bigger price is not a concern. You gain complete root access and can utilize 100% of the hosting web server's resources without anyone else sharing these system resources and messing with your web sites.

Hardware architectures

Most web hosting corporations, incl. us at MalangHost, offer several hardware configurations you can select from on the basis of your needs. The hardware architectures offer different kinds of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can choose a web hosting Control Panel, which is a useful software tool if you wish to use the dedicated web hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to resort to a Secure Shell terminal for all the changes you will be making. We offer three kinds of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a confident Linux OS user (our dedicated hosting web servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated web hosting via an SSH console only. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you want to grant complete server root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is a bright idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel interface that we offer does not offer complete root access and is mainly suitable for someone who has numerous web pages that swallow plenty of system resources, but wishes to manage the web sites, databases and email mailbox accounts via an easy-to-use hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, grant root access and offer three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell web hosting plans instead of using the dedicated web hosting servers only 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 web hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a problem with your dedicated hosting server, such as a non-responsive Apache or a network outage, it is advisable to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at MalangHost 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 extra feature - the hosting provider offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to have the same data on 2 hard drives as a precaution in the event of a server hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted complete root-level access deletes something accidentally.
