You can backup your database by using mysqldump program or the mysqlhotcopy script. mysqldump is more general because it can back up all kinds of tables. mysqlhotcopy works only with some storage engines.

Create a full backup of your database:

shell> mysqldump –tab=/path/to/some/dir –opt db_name

Or:

shell> mysqlhotcopy db_name /path/to/some/dir

You can also create a binary backup simply by just copying all table files (*.frm, *.MYD, and *.MYI files), as long as the server isn’t updating anything. The mysqlhotcopy script uses this method.
Note:These methods do not work if your database contains InnoDB tables. InnoDB does not necessarily store table contents in database directories, and mysqlhotcopy works only for MyISAM and ISAM tables.

Every hosting package provides Some GB of bandwidth per month. To put into perspective – the average web page includes roughly 200KB of data on first page load. Once cached, as the viewer visits other pages in your website, that number drops to around 20KB of new data per page – depending on the website – and then 0KB when viewing the same page twice in the same session. There are 1024KB per MB. To reach 1MB of bandwidth, you would have to view roughly 41 pages of your website. Doing the math, by multiplying 41 by size, you will have to have a total of xyz page views per month to exceed your bandwidth – not counting the zero-usage page views. Exceeding this limit is not common, but we have hosting upgrades available if it happens.

Ans:Dedicated IP address is also called as static IP,it means that a website has its own IP address. Whether you type in your URL or the numeric form of its IP address, both will bring you to the same domain.

Shared IP address means that multiple websites share the same IP address. Web servers can determine by the domain entered in a user’s browser which website is being requested. Typing in the IP address will bring you to some kind of generic page instead of the specific site you want.

What is the difference between Managed Dedicated Server and Unmanaged Dedicated Server?

Nowadays, two types of Dedicated servers are available: Unmanaged Dedicated Servers and Managed Dedicated Servers.

Unmanaged Dedicated Server:
An Unmanaged Dedicated Server is a server which is to be managed by the user themselves. The client will have to update software on their own, applies necessary patches, performs kernel compiles and operating system restores, installs software, and monitors security from their end. With Unmanged Dedicated server, the client are solely responsible for day-to-day operations and maintenance etc. In this case, service provider, will only monitors the network, repairs hardware problems, and troubleshoots connectivity issues. Additionally, some service providers offer partial management of services, such as network monitoring, software upgrades and other services, but leave the general things of the server in the hands of the client. An unmanaged dedicated server is not at all suitable for someone without server management experience.

Managed Dedicated Server:A Managed Dedicated Server is generally more proactively monitored and maintained on the part of the Web Hosting provider. When a client is renting or leasing a Managed Dedicated Server, the service provider or host carries out the responsibility of software updates and patches, putting security measures in place, performing hardware replacements, and also monitoring the network and its connection for trouble. In other words, when utilizing a managed dedicated server, the host provider will perform both hardware and software operations. A managed dedication server solution works well for the customer with limited server management experience or limited time in being able to perform the duties necessary to keep a server running and online .

Bodhost provides Fully Managed Dedicated Server with 24×7 monitoring service.Our System Admins constantly monitor the servers. They ensure that the server is always available for you , and if you will face any technical issue it will be resolved asap.

What is RAID?

RAID Stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.It is a set of technology used for teaming disk drives to improve performance and fault tolerance of the servers .It is a way of storing the same data in several different places (thus redundantly) on multiple hard disks.By placing a data on several disks I/O (input/output) operations can be continued in a balanced way. As multiple disks increases the mean time between failures, storing data redundantly also increases fault tolerance.It is a technolgy developed in which a huge number of low cost hard drives could be linked with each other to form a single large capacity storage device which provide outstanding performance, storage capacity and trustworthy over older storage solutions. It is a deployed method which is used widely for storage in the enterprise and server markets.

There are different types of RAID from which some are as follows:-

RAID-0 : Striping

RAID-1 : Mirroring and Duplexing

RAID-2 : Error-Correcting Coding

RAID-3 : Bit-Interleaved Parity

RAID-4 : Independent Access with Dedicated Parity Disk

RAID-5 : Independent Access with Distributed Parity

RAID-0 : It uses striping to write data on multiple drives simultaneously. This means that when you write a 4GB file across 4 drives, 1GB of data is written to each drive. Parallel reading of data from multiple drives can have a remarkable positive impact on performance and reliability.Double the amount of data can be written in a given time frameon to the two different drives compared to that same data being written to a single drive.

Note:RAID-0 improves the performance of the server but does not deliver a fault tolerance.This means If one drive fails then all data in the array is lost.

RAID-1 : RAID 1 uses mirroring technology to write data on multiple drives. When you write a file, the file is actually written on to two different disks at the same time. If one of the disks fails, you simply replace it and rebuild the mirror.With RAID 1 you must purchase double the amount of storage space that your data requires.

RAID-2 : RAID 2 uses for error correction codes it is meant to use with drives which do not have built-in error detection. All SCSI drives support built-in error detection, so this level is of little use when using SCSI drives.

RAID-3 : It stripes data at a byte level across several drives, with parity stored on single drive. It is otherwise similar to level 4. Byte-level striping requires hardware support for efficient use.

RAID-4 : RAID 4 stripes data at a block level across several drives, with parity stored on single drive. The parity information allows you to recover from the failure of any single drive. The performance RAID 4 is very good for reads . Writes, however, require that parity data be updated every time. This slows small random writes, in particular, though large writes or sequential writes are fairly fast. Because only one drive in the array stores redundant data, the cost of per megabyte of a RAID 4 can be fairly low as compare to others.

RAID-5 : It provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5 is one of the most popular implementations of RAID .This slightly reduces available disk capacity, but it also means that the RAID array continues to function if a single disk fails. In the event of a disk failure, you simply replace the failed disk and keep working.

Managed dedicated servers or vps servers are completely a different concept when compared to unmanaged solutions. Managed Servers are known for their integration with the requirement of clients whereas unmanaged solutions do not offer any such pre-installed applications or softwares or rather any such assistance.

Managed Solutions have better cumulative figure as to how it can be customized as per requirements. Many applications such as PHP, MySQL and Apache are not well-versed with a unmanaged solution.

Also, in regards with the support assistance, only Level 1 assistance or no support is provided with unmanaged servers whereas complete assistance is provided with managed vps servers or dedicated servers.

So after receiving the login details of your Dedicated Server you need to change the hostname.

2) Nameservers:
After Hostname you have to set default nameservers for your Dedicated Server. These nameservers will be assigned as default nameservers to all the accounts or domains you will create on your Dedicated Server. The nameservers should be like NS1.%%AD_DOMAIN%% and NS2.%%AD_DOMAIN%% and should point to following Ip’s
===
NS1.%%AD_DOMAIN%%: %%NS1IP%%
NS2.%%AD_DOMAIN%%: %%NS1IP%%
===
Where %%AD_DOMAIN%% is the registered domain name and the above nameservers should be registered at your domain registrar. If your domain is registered with us then contact our billing department at billing@bodhost.com to register the nameservers
