UNIX/Linux Dedicated Server

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

A UNIX/Linux dedicated server is one of many web hosting services being offered to web owners who need their websites monitored while they are doing other things. Like UNIX, a Linux dedicated server is a system, but it takes people to make it work. The capabilities of a UNIX are quite complex, and include the ability to work with all major vendor’s hardware, all major UNIX versions, all web application servers, a number of very good databases and any off-the-shelf or custom application running on the UNIX platform.

The second capable option, a Linux dedicated server, offers the same capabilities, but uses some different programs in their processes. These differences may or may not be important to the website owner, probably depending upon how much experience he has with web hosting and computer programs that go with it. The company that operates the server for the website owner provides the staff responsible for the web hosting services, which should include monitoring and management seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. They should provide version management, which will keep up to date versions of the program in place. They should be able to plan for expansion with either option, so that webmasters don’t run out of space.

Security management should be high on the list of services provided by the web host with either UNIX or Linux servers. Data backup and recover is a must in the list of services by a web hosting company, because loss of data means loss of income to the website owner in most cases. For non-business sites, then it is a loss of exposure and/or providing information, as in the case of a website owned by a city, chamber of commerce, or church. Vendor management is important, in the case of a business or affiliate website, so that should be provided with either the UNIX dedicated server or Linux dedicated server when customers sign up for web hosting services.
