Is Dedicated Server Hosting The Best Hosting Option ?

Having a dedicated server hosting account provides more flexibility for a company that needs to acquire hosting for their website. It also allows the client to have much more control over the server, or servers, that are being used. Some of the control that is available for dedicated hosting accounts, which is not available with shared hosting packages, is having a choice of operating system that is used, customized script installations and hardware choices.

A dedicated hosting service, which is often referred to as a dedicated server or managed dedicated server hosting, is one specific type of internet website hosting that a company can choose, in order to get the site files uploaded and have their website displayed online. When a client chooses any type of dedicated hosting, they lease the entire server and it is not shared with other clients of the hosting company.

There are many instances where a company with a growing web presence will hesitate to make the move to a dedicated server hosting arrangement. They have the mistaken idea that it means the dedicated servers have to be housed and managed on-site. In reality, most of the websites that are run on dedicated servers are located on the premises of the managed dedicated hosting company, which provides round the clock maintenance and support.

Managed dedicated server hosting is a beneficial choice because the hosting client has the security of knowing that they are the only one using the server and that it is 100% exclusively used for their website needs only. This eliminates issues of potential downtime that might be caused by problems on another website that is on the same server and with security issues as well. Many companies have a great deal of proprietary information and customer databases that need to be protected, and managed dedicated servers help to add an additional layer of data safety.

While shared web hosting plan options are less expensive, they are also less secure. In addition to the security issues, there are also accessibility issues that should be considered. If another site on a shared server has a large promotion and experiences a sudden surge in traffic, then that could cause all websites on that server to load slowly or even be inaccessible for periods of time. With a dedicated hosting service, the only traffic flow that needs to be considered and planned for is under the control and plans of the company using the dedicated hosting.

Dedicated hosting services is the best choice when a website project is considered to be “mission-critical” and when the site owner wants to concentrate on the content development and design elements of the site and leave all the technical issues to the experts. The web server hosting providers that offer dedicated server management are responsible for having a technical support staff available around the clock to immediately take care of problems, and assure that the server is up and running at all times.

When a company is new or has a fairly minor presence on the internet, shared hosting is usually more than sufficient and is a budget friendly choice. However, as the traffic demands and complexity of the website grows, then a dedicated server hosting account will likely become a necessity at some point.

    HostGator is The best choice to start with ….
    http://besthostingcompanies.info/?p=14
    Get First Month For Only 0.01 $
    Hostgator is solid and you can have unlimted addon domains too
    Hostgator is about the best you can get with shared hosting
    Yeah…. For less than $10 per month, you can host as many domain name as you want.
    I use hostgator myself, because I like how much they give you to start with so you can grow before you need to upgrade, but there's plenty of room to upgrade as well. Good support, live chat if you want to ask them anything – even before you buy. My account was activated within 10 minutes and they replied to support tickets promptly.
    Hostgator offers different size plans so you can start small and upgrade as needed.

    servlets apps run faster than asp.net ones..and therefore take more bandwidth to operate on a site

    it really is simple math…more bandwidth = higher hosting fees

    Most hosting centers will provide your internet connection via a cross connect with the switch that your server is connected to. It's quite likely that you WILL have a shared 100 Mbps connection to the backbone with a carrier-class hosting center.

    A T-1 connection is rated at 1.536 Mbps. It is comprised of 24 channels with 64 Kbps each. Those channels can be used either for voice or data. You can have all data, all voice, or mix it up any way you wish. Obviously for a data only connection, all would be used for data. Actually, that's really more than you need to know (channelization and all) if all you want is a T-1 internet connection — it will all be data. You can also get a fractional T-1 connection. 12 channels would give you 768 Kbps; 8 would give you 512 Kbps.

    A typical cable connection is around 5 Mbps down and 256 Kbps up. For a server, upstream speed matters so you're getting 1/6th of a T-1 connection with a typical cable internet connection. Most cable systems top out at 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. That would be 2/3 the speed of a T-1 connection. Remember, if you're running a server your upstream speed matters much more than your download speed — the reverse of normal consumer needs.

    Then of course there's the issue of running a server on a consumer broadband connection. Most ISPs prohibit this and will require you to switch to a business grade connection. That will cost you more, often quite a bit more. Will they catch you and force you to switch? Maybe, maybe not. Many ISPs do monitor usage and will get suspicious if you're always capped out at your max upstream speed. Some ISPs also block commonly used server ports for inbound traffic — port 25 (SMTP) and ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) — which would force you to use non-standard ports. That's doable, but a hassle.

    So, what does all this mean? Well, if you're expecting a lot of traffic, go with the hosting center. No hassles from your ISP and plenty of bandwidth for your site's visitors. If you're just hosting something for a few friends you might get away with hosting it from home on your cable modem connection. The cost of a full T-1 connection — typically over $500.00 a month and you'll have to shop around for that price — is probably more than you want to spend for a home connection.

    Going with the hosting center solution will also side-step the issue of most consumer-grade broadband connections: Changing IP addresses. Most consumer-grade accounts get you a dynamic IP address. With some providers it rarely changes but with others it changes often. You could get an account with a dynamic DNS provider but that adds a layer of complexity and possibly expense to the whole thing. If you switched to a mid-grade business account you normally get a fixed IP address. That would solve a number of issues, but would probably double your broadband bill or more.

    RAID 5 may provide more performance than RAID 1

    RAID 1 is mirroring only.
    RAID 5's striping should outperform RAID 1

    However, you may be better off investigating a hardware RAID card than trying to build a software RAID from the motherboard sockets. Your gains from RAIDing may be offset by processor overhead.

    Also, I wouldn't be surprised if 6 x 7200 RPM drives with high areal density (320 GB platters) and a hardware RAID card outperformed or at least equalled 6 x Velociraptors for a comparable price.

    See http://www.storagereview.com for comprehensive comparisons of performance.

    ****till work when you shutdown?
    If you want to have a database server you have to sure that your pc is on always. Otherwise your server will not serve when your pc is off line. Apache is not a db server. It is a HTTP(web) server.

    ****server/computer is shutdown?
    You cannot receive any information when your server/computer is shutdown. DB will not work at that time.

    buy a server dedicated to that?
    If you are running the db server you need a dedicated ip for that. So it is better to give that job to a hosting company like http://www.blazonhosting.com. They do it for low cost.

    You can run several servers in one pc(web server, mail server, DB server, file server). But running several servers in one pc leads to slow your pc's perfomences. Then it will slow down the the servers.

    If you want more help or details contact. I m a webmaster too…

    ——More about the DB server—-
    A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computers, as defined by the client-server model. The term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Database management systems frequently provide database server functionality, and some DBMS's (e.g., MySQL) rely exclusively on the client-server model for database access.

    Database Master servers are central and main locations of data while Database Slave servers are synchronized backups of the master acting as proxies.

    If I were you, I would choose CentOS 5 (64-bit) and here's why:

    1) 99% of providers / Web hosts support CentOS so your provider will have plenty of on-site staff that knows CentOS in and out.

    2) CentOS is the free version of Red Hat, the first commercial Linux distribution in the world. You gain production stability and reliability. It doesn't have any experimental software like Ubuntu for instance (I love Ubuntu and I run it on my desktop but I don't put it on my production servers).

    3) You'll find plenty of help from online communities (google). Almost all issues that you will encounter with the OS have already been solved and reported online. Just copy/paste the error on google and you'll be on your way.

    4) CentOS (which is Red Hat literally) goes through rigorous testing so you'll be sure your server will not crash under high loads / vists. It's a SERVER OS after all!

    By the way, my name is Joe and I help run two Web hosting firms (see the footer if you're interested). A large majority of our servers run CentOS and it's rock solid in all aspects. I highly recommend it.

    You are kind of getting ripped off, but not too bad. For 32 people, I'd look for around 3M. That's currently what I have (1M up, 3M down), and I can host pretty much any game.
