Dedicated server - what are its features?
Today, the vast majority of hosting providers’ clients are owners of small Internet projects. Information sites with low traffic, personal blogs, business card sites or sites of small companies do not require significant resources and a dedicated server. Everything they need can be provided by shared hosting.
In this case, dozens of accounts are located on one server, each of which contains from one to ten (in some cases more) sites. Thus, a couple of hundred sites can run on one “machine”. Of course, sometimes this can cause some inconvenience, for example, during a DDOS attack on one of the sites, all located on the delta server become inaccessible. On the other hand, in such cases, the hosting provider solves the problems on its own, the only thing that is required from the client is to wait a bit.
When is a dedicated server required?
Shared hosting is cheap and convenient, on the other hand, there are many limitations. For example, high traffic to one site or the operation of resource-demanding scripts reduces the performance of all sites located on the server.
A dedicated server is also required in other cases:
- major sites and portals
- online games or other demanding software;
- organization of a corporate network;
- storage of large amounts of information;
- creating your own cloud storage;
- postal or SMS mailings;
- important and confidential information.
A similar solution may also be required by owners of a large number of sites to create their own mail service, organize a proxy server.
Own server – troublesome and expensive
It is important to know that buying your own server is not only expensive. Such equipment needs regular maintenance, cooling, uninterrupted power supply and Internet connection. Only large companies can afford to buy such capacities. Not every organization can afford to allocate a separate room and hire specialists to service it. However, more and more often even large companies prefer to rent servers.
Server rental – no restrictions and minimal costs
A leased dedicated physical server (Dedicated Server) is located in the data center. The client receives at his disposal a separate “machine”, access to which is available only to him and the specialists of the data center. There is a huge variety of equipment of different capacities to choose from. Moreover, the client can remotely select the configuration based on their needs: the amount of internal storage, RAM, processor power, and so on.
In case of failure of components, the organization undertakes to replace or repair them. You can change the configuration at any time. In the same way, the client can install any operating system and software on the equipment, choose protection and anti-virus software, and do it independently and at any convenient time. Deltahost allows you to rent a server of any configuration and for any purpose. The servers are provided with reliable cooling, and their performance is monitored 24 hours a day by the best system administrators. You can choose dedicated servers that are located in Ukraine, USA or Netherlands. For example, you can rent a 32 GB RAM server located in the USA for only 114$ in a month. Also for this price you will get Xeon E-2236, 6 core, 3.4GHz, 1 Gbit/s port, 250 GB of SSD.
