Managed hosting A great option


For managing a very high traffic website you will definitely tuned for Dedicated server as it is suitable for handling heavy load on your website.But as far as management is concerned many companies go for ‘Managed Hosting‘.

Its natural that this question may arise in our minds that’What is the difference between Dedicated Hosting and Managed Hosting’?

A dedicated hosting solution you are given your own private server and have complete control over its use. That is why dedicated servers are capable of handling too many visitors of a website.However you are responsible to manage that server yourself. Some of the issues you will deal with include selection of hardware and operating systems, choosing applications, dealing with security issues, backing up your data, monitoring for up-time and lots more.

Managed hosting is a gateway for dedicated hosting. You not only have your own dedicated server, but the Managed Host provides all or part of the management, maintenance, and monitoring needs for you.

Cost of Managed Hosting:

To be frank, managed hosting costs much then other hosting.But this cost can be amortized through high quality maintenance.When compared to the cost of having full-time IT staffing in-house managed hosting becomes very cost effective. One benefit is that the outsourcing can be scaled to your particular needs. The managed host can provide a little or a lot depending on your growth and traffic.

It is the time for the next step for your site!


Dedicated servers are used because shared web hosting services has its some limitation. Those people needs dedicated server who is having large number of visitors on their sites and want to have full control on every aspect of their servers and also need to store a lot of information in large databases.

Dedicated server hosting is that type of website hosting where the clients doesn’t share the server with anyone else. This hosting is more reliable and flexible than the shard hosting because you have the full control over the server. The hosting company can usually provide administration or management of the server.

Cpwebhosting provides best and reliable dedicated server with multiple quality uplinks. The prices of these dedicated servers of cpwebhosting are very reasonable and affordable to all. Cpwebhosting is having improved routes to their location also.

Cpwebhosting provides administrative maintenance of the operating system for their clients. It includes upgrades, security patches and updates, adding or deleting users and domains and special programming requirement.

When you need dedicated server?
If you have a large mailing database then you will run into restrictions on sending mail from a shared server, a dedicated server may be a suitable option. Those who contemplating a large network of multiple sites, dedicated server is the best option.

Controlling a high server load


In the era of highly complex system configuration, it is not peculiar to get high server load spikes. Relying over better server optimization and load mitigation approaches can make the work half. There are three general steps taken for high server load troubleshooting in Linux server:-

  1. Look out for resource which is overloaded: Here we search for the resource which is getting hogged. Atop is an ideal tool if we are troubleshooting the physical server or you may use regular top command if we are over OS virtualization environment. If VPS node is loaded, you might start with VZtop.
  2. Look for the service which is hogging that resource: Once we get identified of the resources then we can use specialized tools to look for services which are making that resource hogged.
  3. Look for the virtual host who is using that service: Once we get acquainted of the specific service then what is needed is to accomplish specific service activities.

While optimizing getting known of the services which are not causing resource to hog is equally important to services which are causing it. Having a habit of frequently checking all command outputs in a normal server will give you the power to immediately see what is wrong.

There has been steep growth in data traffic owing to the proliferation of connected device, which has increased the demand on data center for webhosting service providers. Industry prefers standard Intel architecture for techno solutions and data center consistency as it is scaling up network infrastructure. Intel has released its first XEON processor with SOC (system on chip) technology on its 14nm process technology which accomplishes I/O capabilities over same chip. The new processor is delivering up to 3 to 4 time’s faster performance per node comparing to Intel® Atom™ processor C2750, part of its 2-gen 64-bit System on chip products family. Initially Intel will have two XEON D processor Xeon D-1520 and Xeon D-1540 which is targeted at data center including dedicated hosting and storages. Initial products are optimized for hosting providers for variety of loads.

Enhancing Uptime with VMware HA and DRS rules:

VMware Ha and DRS can improve server performance and uptime working together if correct configuration and planning is implemented. VMware’s HA (High Availability) and DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) are two of the software company’s virtualization management. VMotion is used to scale the server across multiple hosts and HA restarts the virtual machine in case of host failure. ESX/ESXi version has already had these features but they are not exclusive to each other so they have to work in unison. DRS does not concern about number of virtual machine per host, consequently not making adjustment on virtual machine count.

There are two categories for setting up DRS and HA according to the classification of the virtual machine that we want to separate and don’t want to separate.

  • Separating VMs seems easy and may seem to protect against failure but as business environment grows, keeping VMs separate becomes more complex. It cannot be considered much secure as if network issues occurs then still we might have trouble. The separation of VMs with required hardware in blade server environment might come beneficial .A rack outage may be catastrophic to virtual environment owing to the higher density of virtual machines per rack with blades. In blade system we must limit the numbers of blade enclosure in single rack which may prove better for HRS and DA protocols.
  • We may want to keep some VM on same host.E.g. A front end server and database server communicate frequently so it is preferable keep them on same host. By residing them on same VLAN will keep network traffic internal to host and decreases the excessive physical network traffic .Here the problem arises if they both go down. If they both are interdependent to each other then it is less meaningful to put one to start without other one and also they should start in correct order .We can overcome start up order problem by putting VM in Vapp. Here a lot of stress is over priority start up of VMs, having VMs that do not start automatically is lucrative option.HA allows VMs to violate constraint of resources. This does mean if the cluster is not having sufficient resources, it needs to start up then it will not get started. By not starting development and test VMs does help with additional resources while overriding the resource constraints may make it start. Here clusters might be running slower but it is beneficial then not running system at all.

Making safe action with documentation:

We don’t have the simple way to extract rules or rules with HA and DRS configuration. The only way is to completely disable DRS and HA. Unlike other tools there is no undo button. Keeping notes of rules for HA start-up priority, resource pool setting and VM sepeiration may be the safe action to perform

VPS and reseller hosting server


Virtual Allocated Server or Virtual Private Server enables you to lease VPSs, running on the same server independently from each other, but sharing its network, hardware, operating system, etc.to your first-hand and reseller end users.
Virtual servers have their own root accounts and root directories in sub-directories of the main server. VPSs are completely isolated from each other and from their main physical server. Virtual Private Servers allow to limit physical server resources, such as traffic, disk space, RAM, the number of running processes and files in use.

With Reseller Allocated Servers, You can assign physical servers to resellers, so that you can create end user’s homes on it, with the help of Allocated Servers. Every reseller signing up for the plan obtains one of available physical servers. In case there are no allocated servers available for the plan, reseller signing up with it, will be moderated and you will be notified of it through trouble ticket system.

Collocation Hosting : Overview


collocating Server means its your responsibility to choose your own software and hardwares that keep the server always ready for operations and keep the server updated. The hosting company maintains the connection to the Internet and deals with environmental details such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), fire controls, and air conditioning. On the other hand, you’re responsible for that server’s upkeep.
This sometimes misinterpreted that collocation is identical to dedicated hosting. But its merely a misconception.With collocation you constantly have to maintain all the server resources so as to provide flexibility and un-haulted services to your customers.

When you opt for dedicated server collocation with the hosting company, you pay for the physical space that your server takes up. collocation hosting usually requires a higher startup cost than renting a server from a hosting company. The server itself will cost around $4000 for a low-end model, and $9000 for a midrange server. A half-rack of space at a colocation facility will cost between $500 and $700 to start up and the same amount each month. Finally, you’ll have to purchase a switch or a router, which will cost between $1500 and $2000 at the low end. This would result in an initial outlay of at least $7500 — and it doesn’t include the costs of staff time for setup and configuration, or the cost of equipment depreciation, insurance, and the standby equipment.

Brief about Dedicated Server


What is a Dedicated Server?
Dedicated Servers give a company the flexibility of having a dedicated machine for their website(s). All dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service are internet based where the client or website owner took an entire server on rent and it is not shared with anyone. This provides flexibility and reliability, as organizations or client have full control over the server. They have independence of choosing their own operating system, hardware or anything.They rule the server and have all the authorities of it. They may load multiple websites on their servers.

Bandwidth and Connectivity

Bandwidth is a fundamental parameter that determines the quality of web hosting service provider. E-commerce websites that sell products or services online are likely to have high volumes of traffic to their websites. More web traffic requires increased data transfer levels and thus higher bandwidth.It is usually represented in bits (of data) per second (bps). Access providers provide the connectivity that supplies the bandwidth, or data transfer rate, through various connection points across a network or multiple data centers, where dedicated servers are located.

By securing multiple vendors for connectivity and using redundant hardware, providers are able to guarantee higher uptimes; usually between 99-100%.

Operating System Support

Factors like availability, price and familiarity, often determines which operating systems to choose for dedicated servers. Variations of Linux, an open-source operating system, are often included at no additional charge to customers, whereas, Microsoft requires additional license fees, which can increase the monthly cost of a dedicated server operating on a Windows operating system. The Microsoft Windows Server, is offered through the Microsoft SPLA program. Commercial versions of Linux are offered to web hosting providers on a monthly fee basis. The monthly fee typically provides OS updates through a network, using specific applications. Other operating systems available from the open source community at no charge, include centOS, Fedora Core, FreeBSD, Debian, among others.

Support operating systems utilized, usually depend upon the management level afforded by individual dedicated server plan. Operating system support may include updates to the core system in order to acquire the latest security fixes, patches, and system-wide vulnerability resolutions. Updates to core operating systems include kernel upgrades, service packs, application updates, and security patches that keep server secure and safe. Operating system updates and support relieves the burden of server management from the dedicated server owner.

The Linux kernel was first released to the public on 17 September 1991, for the Intel x86 PC architecture. The kernel was augmented with system utilities and libraries from the GNU project to create a usable operating system, which led to an alternative term, GNU/Linux.[2] Linux is packaged for different uses in Linux distributions, which contain the sometimes modified kernel along with a variety of other software packages tailored to different requirements. Predominantly known for its use in servers, Linux is supported by corporations such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Oracle Corporation, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems. It is used as an operating system for a wide variety of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers, video game systems, such as PlayStation 2, 3, several arcade games, and embedded devices, such as mobile phones and routers.

User-mode Linux (UML) allows multiple virtual Linux systems (known as guests) to run as an application within a normal Linux system (known as the linux hosting). As each guest is just a normal application running as a process in user space, this approach provides the user with a way of running multiple virtual Linux machines on a single piece of hardware, offering excellent security and safety without affecting the host environment’s configuration or stability.

Virtual Server Hosting


A virtual server provides the features of a dedicated server on a machine that is shared by other web hosting customers. Customers therefore get hosting services that are similar to that of dedicated web hosting without sacrificing on privacy or performance.

Virtual servers are based on the concept of partitions on mainframes that allow dozens of divisions to run multiple applications on the same server with advanced resource scheduling. In other words, a virtual server behaves exactly like an isolated stand-alone server that guarantees share of server resources, including CPU, memory and bandwidth. Applications are not shared across private servers, which mean that you can run different combinations of applications and even different versions of applications even if they are on the same physical server.

Our virtual servers give you the key benefits of a dedicated server at a fraction of the price. A virtual server is a single dedicated server that is divided into a few isolated servers. Each virtual server performs much like a single dedicated server, complete with root access and the ability to install programs to suit your needs perfectly. A virtual server is like having your own dedicated server, but at a more affordable price.

Now you can get all the benefits of a virtual server with the same ease-of-use and low cost traditionally found only with shared web hosting. Combining our virtual server hosting plans with our outstanding customer support, we provide you with one of the best hosting solutions in the industry.
