What Indeed is Dedicated Hosting?
When we speak of web hosting servers, there are 3 principal varieties - shared hosting servers, VPS (virtual private web servers) and dedicated servers. Shared web servers host plenty of clients and hence the system resources per web hosting account are restricted, VPS packages offer more server configuration autonomy, but also affect other virtual web servers on the hardware node if used unwisely, and dedicated servers give you the option to carry out everything you see fit without meddling with anyone else.
Why would you need a dedicated server?

Dedicated servers are generally much more expensive than shared hosting servers or virtual web servers. Why would anyone, then, want to use them? The explanation is pretty simple. If your corporation has a heavy-content site, or just has very specific server configuration requirements, the wisest choice is a dedicated server. For someone who is prepared to invest in security and dependability, the greater price is not a problem. You are granted full root-level access and can utilize 100% of the dedicated web hosting server's resources without anyone else availing of these system resources and meddling with your sites.
Hardware configurations
The majority of hosting providers, including us at Valeno Web Hosting Solutions, provide several hardware architectures you can choose from in accordance with your demands. The hardware architectures include different varieties of microprocessors, a different amount of cores, different RAM memory and server hard drive sizes and different monthly bandwidth allowances. You can pick a hosting Control Panel, which is a convenient GUI if you would like to use the web server for web hosting purposes only and choose not to use SSH for all the changes you will be making. We offer three sorts of Control Panel software - Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel.
The hosting CP of your preference
If you are a self-confident Linux user (our dedicated hosting web servers are running on Linux or other Unix-based OSs), you could administer your dedicated server via a Secure Shell connection exclusively. That, though, could be inconvenient, especially if you wish to grant complete root access to someone else who has less technical expertise than yourself. This is why having Control Panel software pre-activated is a great idea. The Hepsia hosting CP interface that we provide does not give you root privileges and is mainly appropriate for somebody who owns a lot of online portals that demand lots of resources, but wishes to manage the web portals, databases and e-mail boxes using an intuitive hosting Control Panel. The DirectAdmin and cPanel hosting Control Panels, on the other hand, give you complete server root access and have 3 levels of access - root, reseller and user. If you plan to resell hosting plans instead of using the hosting server solely for yourself, you should select one of these two.
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 problem with your dedicated web hosting server, like an unresponsive Apache or an outage, it is useful to have some sort of monitoring system enabled. Here at Valeno Web Hosting Solutions 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 server as well. Backups are also an extra feature - the company offers you data backups on our own backup web servers. You could pick a type of RAID that would permit you to save the very same data on two server hard drives as a precaution in the event of a server hard disk failure, or in case someone whom you have given full server root privileges deletes something by accident.
