1. Bandwidth
In dedicated server web hosting, bandwidth refers to the rate at which data is transferred – measuring the speed of a server or a hosting plan.
2. Control Panel
As an administrator, with a control panel you will be able to view the basic controls and system settings as well as manage them. It is useful for adding, removing software and plugins. cPanel is one of the common control panels used in webhosting.
3. DDOS Protection
Others denoted as Distributed Denial of Service attack (abbrev. DDoS) or Denial of Service attack (abbrev. DoS), this is aimed at making certain computer resources either inaccessible by users or completely unavailable. Reputable dedicated server webhosting companies have advanced protection solutions against DDoS attacks.
4. Extra IP
IP stands for internet protocol – a specific string of numbers identifying the servers using the protocol for communications over a network. With Extra IP, the server has an extra public address. It is typically sown as a +1 IP address.
5. OS
The common abbreviation for operation systems, an OS is the system software used to manage computer software and hardware resources while providing the common services that computer programs need to run efficiently.
6. Processors
Processors are logic circuits that are designed to respond to the basic instructions driving a computer. Processors write back, execute, decode and fetch. Today, most of them are multi-core meaning that they contain two or more processors for reduced power consumption, the efficient processing of several tasks at the same time, as well as enhanced performance.
7. RAM
Random Access Memory, or RAM, is a specific kind of computer memory which the machine can access randomly.
8. Secondary Drives
Most dedicated server web hosting services use secondary drives for backup purposes. Therefore, when and if the primary drive suffers such as failure, attack or for any reason is destroyed, the clients’ data will be backed up inside the secondary drive. In such instances, you can easily restore the data once you get another primary drive.
