Dedicated Server
When we talk about web hosting servers, there are three major varieties - shared website hosting servers, VPS (private virtual web servers) and dedicated hosting web servers. Shared hosting servers host many clients and thus the resources per account are limited, virtual private web hosting servers offer more configuration liberty, but also influence other VPSs on the hardware node if utilized unwisely, and dedicated web hosting servers offer you the liberty to carry out everything you choose without interfering with anyone else.
Why would you require a dedicated web hosting server?
Dedicated web servers are generally much more expensive than shared servers or private virtual hosting servers. Why would anyone, then, use them? The explanation is rather simple. If your company has a high resource-swallowing online portal, or simply has very special server architecture requirements, the most logical choice is a dedicated server. For somebody who is ready to invest in security and stability, the bigger price is of no importance. You get full root access and can utilize 100% of the web hosting server's system resources without anyone else utilizing these resources and intervening with your websites.
Hardware configurations
Most hosting corporations, incl. Resellers Panel, provide several different hardware configurations you can choose from in keeping with your demands. The configurations offer different sorts of processors, a different number of cores, different RAM memory and hard disk sizes and different monthly traffic quotas. You can select a web hosting CP, which is a convenient user interface if you would like to use the dedicated hosting server for website hosting purposes only and choose not to resort to an SSH client for all the changes you will be making. Resellers Panel, for example, offers three types of hosting Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.
The web hosting CP of your choice
If you are a self-reliant Linux user (most hosting servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could manage your dedicated server through an SSH client only. That, however, could be awkward, particularly if you want to grant full root access to someone else who has less technical proficiency than yourself. This is why having web hosting Control Panel software pre-activated is an excellent idea. The Hepsia web hosting CP user interface that Resellers Panel offers does not offer root privileges and is chiefly appropriate for someone who has plenty of web portals that demand plenty of system resources, but prefers to manage the online portals, databases and e-mailbox accounts via an easy-to-use web hosting CP. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting CPs, on the other hand, grant complete server root access and include three levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you intend to resell hosting accounts rather than using the dedicated hosting web server only for yourself, you should select one of these two.
Web server monitoring and backup services
Last but not least, there is the issue of monitoring the dedicated server and of backing it up. In the event of a predicament with your server, like a non-responsive Apache or a downtime, it is useful to have some kind of monitoring platform activated. Resellers Panel monitors all dedicated servers for ping timeouts, and, if you order a Managed Services upgrade, they monitor the separate services on the dedicated hosting web server too. Backups are also an extra option - the web hosting provider offers you data backups on their own backup web servers. You could select a type of RAID that would permit you to have the same data on 2 disk drives as a precaution in case of a disk drive failure, or in case someone whom you have ranted root-level access erases something by mistake.
