One of the biggest reasons businesses upgrade to a dedicated server is the freedom it offers.

Unlike shared or VPS hosting — where you’re limited by predefined configurations — a dedicated server gives you full control over the environment.
You can build, optimize, and secure the server exactly the way you want.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can customize when you host on a dedicated server with PLiKhost.

🧠 1. Operating System (OS)

Choose the OS that fits your application or team’s expertise:

• AlmaLinux (popular for cPanel & CentOS replacements)

• Ubuntu (great for developers, wide community support)

• Debian (stable and clean for production)

• Others on request (Rocky Linux, etc.)

You’re not locked into a single choice — and you can reinstall or change OS as needed.

🔧 2. Software Stack

Install exactly what you need — and nothing you don’t.

You control:

• Web servers: Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed (if licensed)

• Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB

• Languages: PHP (any version), Python, Node.js, Java, Ruby

• App platforms: Docker, Git, Laravel, WordPress, Magento, etc.

Perfect for custom apps, frameworks, or legacy systems.

🔐 3. Security Settings

Harden your server according to your own standards:

• Configure firewalls (UFW, iptables)

• Enable Fail2Ban, mod_security, or other WAFs

• Set up SSH key access, disable root login

• Install Imunify360 (available at PLiKhost)

• Enable SSL/TLS encryption with Let’s Encrypt or custom certificates

Especially important for apps handling sensitive data, e-commerce, or compliance-heavy workloads.

🧮 4. Hardware Configuration (at time of order)

You can choose your hardware specs:

• CPU type and core count (e.g., Intel Xeon)

• RAM amount (e.g., 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or more)

• Storage type and size (SSD or NVMe for performance, HDD for capacity)

• RAID setup (for redundancy or speed)

• Bandwidth allocation and port speed (1 Gbps or more)

PLiKhost offers flexible plans — and can discuss custom builds for specific use cases.

🌐 5. Network & IP Management

Need advanced networking features? You’re in control.

• Dedicated IP addresses

• Reverse DNS setup

• Private networking / VPN gateway

• Host multiple websites or services on unique IPs

• Set up custom DNS records via Cloudflare or other services

Great for agencies, resellers, and SaaS platforms.

🔄 6. Backup & Monitoring Strategy

Build your own backup strategy — or let us help:

• Automate daily, weekly, or on-demand backups

• Store backups on local HDD or on a remote server

• Monitor CPU/RAM/disk usage with custom tools

• Integrate with third-party monitoring like Grafana, Prometheus, or UptimeRobot

PLiKhost also offers remote backup and Imunify360 integration upon request.

🛠️ 7. Control Panel (Optional)

Prefer a visual interface?

You can add:

• cPanel/WHM

• Webuzo

• Or go full manual with SSH and terminal

We support both experienced sysadmins and beginners.
