Having two IP addresses is often enough to handle as many web sites your hardware can cope with.
One IP for the name server (DNS) and the other IP for your domains.

The name server is similar to having the authority to delegate Internet Domains.

However, if you intend to introduce SSL (Secure Socket Layer), a protocol for secure communication, for a domain then it is required to have its own dedicated IP address.

Operating System


Which operating system we should select for our dedicated server?

if you wish to run PHP scripts then we recommend a Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, Shared Hosting plans – CPWebHosting web host, or if you wish to run .NET applications we typically recommend a Microsoft Windows operating system environment.

Note the dedicated server’s operating system support. A dedicated server may have an exclusive operating system, depending on the Web developer’s choice.
A shared server needs administrative maintenance, including upgrades, daemon updates and security patches.While a dedicated server do not need them.
Add other special features to the server. These features often include serial console, remote backup space, or an automated restore of the operating system.

Difference


Friends at CpWebhosting tell us what is the difference between Managed and Unmanaged dedicated server?

With Unmanaged server you have to perform all the settings manually like maintaining your server, including security and hardening of your systems.

Managed Server web host take care of all aspects of managing and securing your server, install a full set of security software, monitor your server 24/7 and provide unlimited technical assistance.

If you are lacking in technical skills required for the server, but still need the unlimited aspects available with having your site (or sites) on their own dedicated server, a managed server is the right choice.

With Unmanaged server you are responsible for all technical issues.Because the manual settings are performed by yourself only.

This means that there is no better scope with Unmanaged Server?

If you are technically savvy with servers, an unmanaged server is likely the right choice.

A dedicated server is owned by the web host and you don’t have physical access to the server.If you are very strong at your technical skills then only it is suggested to have a dedicated server.

Disadvantages of reseller hosting


What are the dont’s of dedicated hosting??

You are totally dependent on webhost provider.
__________________

Even you cannot exceed your hosting account limit.
What if it is exceeded?
If Data Transfer Allowance is exceeded, a financial Penalty is assessed.So it may lead to a very costly expense.
Unlike co-location, you can not simply pick up your server and walk away if you’re unhappy with the service.

Bandwidth


Friends at CpWebhosting tell us about how to calculate Bandwidth?
__________________

Dedicated Hosting

Calculate the number of GBs (GigaBytes) of transfer per month.
Each 1000 MBs is equivalent to 1 GB. From the above example, we have 228,750 MB / 1000 MB/GB = 228.75 GB per month of transfer.

Determine the approximate connection speed required to support the level of transfer.

Allow for growth by calculating 40% overhead availability.

Based upon our services, you would need between 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps to provide effective service for your 5000 visitors per month.
