Dedicated Hosting Plans Description

When we talk about hosting web servers, there are three basic categories - web hosting servers, VPS (virtual servers) and dedicated hosting. Shared hosting servers host a lot of customers and therefore the resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS hosting give you more configuration independence, but also affect other virtual private web hosting servers on the hardware node if used rashly, and dedicated hosting servers offer you the liberty to do everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated hosting servers?

Dedicated hosting servers are traditionally much more expensive than shared web servers or virtual servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The answer is pretty simple. If your company has a resource-consuming web page, or just has very special web server configuration requirements, the most intelligent option would be a dedicated hosting servers. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the higher price is not a problem. You receive full server root privileges and can use 100% of the dedicated hosting server's resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and interfering with your sites.

Hardware architectures

Most web hosting vendors, incl. us at The X Net Systems, provide several hardware architectures you can pick from depending on your necessities. The hardware configurations include different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM and disk drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can select a hosting Control Panel, which is useful software if you want to use the dedicated hosting servers for website hosting purposes solely and prefer not to use SSH for all the modifications you will be making. We offer 3 sorts of web hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-reliant Linux user (our web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based Operating Systems), you could administer your dedicated hosting via SSH exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, particularly if you decide to grant full root-level access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software pre-activated is a bright idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP user interface that we offer does not offer full root access and is chiefly suitable for somebody who maintains lots of sites that demand lots of system resources, but would like to administer the online portals, databases and mail accounts through an easy-to-use web hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete root-level access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell web hosting accounts instead of using the dedicated hosting servers just for yourself, you should choose one of these two.

Web server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated hosting servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your server, like an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring system activated. Here at The X Net Systems the system administrators monitor all dedicated hosting servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting servers too. Backups are also an extra option - the hosting vendor offers you data backups on our own backup servers. You could select a kind of RAID that would allow you to have the very same data on two server hard disk drives as a protective measure in the event of a hard disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted full server root access erases something accidentally.
