Dedicated Servers Description

When we speak of hosting web servers, there are three main kinds - shared hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web hosting servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host multiple customers and therefore the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, virtual private servers give you more configuration independence, but also affect other VPSs on the hardware node if utilized rashly, and dedicated servers give you the autonomy to carry out everything you choose without messing with anyone else.

Why would you require a dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers are normally much more high-priced than shared hosting web servers or private virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The reply is quite simple. If your firm has a intense-traffic web portal, or simply has very specific web server configuration requirements, the most intelligent option is a dedicated servers. For somebody who is inclined to invest in safety and dependability, the higher price is of no importance. You are given full server root privileges and can utilize 100% of the web server's resources without anyone else utilizing these system resources and intervening with your web sites.

Hardware specifications

The majority of website hosting companies, incl. us at Tiger Hosts, provide several different hardware architectures you can select from on the basis of your needs. The hardware configurations offer different sorts of processors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard disk drive sizes and different traffic usage quotas. You can pick a web hosting CP, which is a convenient tool if you would like to use the dedicated servers for hosting purposes solely and choose not to use a Secure Shell client for all the changes you will be making. We offer three types of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.

The hosting CP of your choosing

If you are a self-confident Linux user (our web hosting servers are powered by Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated servers via an SSH connection only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you want to grant root access to somebody else who has less technical experience than yourself. That is why having web hosting CP software installed is a nice idea. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel GUI that we offer does not include root-level access and is mostly appropriate for someone who owns lots of sites that devour a lot of resources, but wants to manage the websites, databases and mailbox aliases via a user-friendly web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant root access and offer three access levels - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting plans rather than utilizing the dedicated servers just for yourself, you should pick one of these two.

Server monitoring and backup services

Last but not least, there is the matter of monitoring the dedicated servers and of backing it up. In case of a predicament with your dedicated server, such as an unresponsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring platform enabled. Here at Tiger Hosts the system administrators monitor all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you have a Managed Services package, they monitor the individual services on the dedicated servers too. 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 store the very same data on two disk drives as a protective measure in case of a hard drive failure, or in case someone whom you have given access erases something by accident.
