Hosting a server is not as easy as you might think. You must pay attention to the server hosting company's choice, the choice of uplink broadband, the hardware and software equipment, line selection and other issues.
In actual server hosting, you must master some common sense:
1. Can the server be operated in its own office?
If a server wants to place a server in its own house, it must create an air circulation loop mirror, standardized equipment (such as a computer room air-conditioning system that runs around the clock, UPS power supply system, etc.), and its management and control server and network log work to make a huge and long-term Investment, and the server will also form necessary radiation during operation. In addition, the dust, temperature, and humidity in the gas will also cause necessary damage to the server. This is why many computing centers have to spend a lot of assets to build temperature control, For the sake of humidity control, pollution prevention, moisture removal, and antistatic machine room.
Server management services are more suitable for the following situations: refusing to purchase additional CPUs (such as wireless routers) to increase the access rate of the servo drive; servers are limited by the uplink broadband and cannot increase the data connection rate. The server hosting business is the most suitable The website plan for profit and economic benefits exceeds the maximum level in terms of characteristics, security, and credibility.
2. What is the difference between server hosting and virtual hosting?
"Server hosting" is to place or lease a server to an enterprise that has a local area network that is actually connected to the Internet. Customers can build the server into a www, email, or Ftp server based on remote operations. "Virtual hosting" refers to the division of a solid state disk of a UNIX or NT system bare metal, and each disk space after classification can be equipped with www, email, and FTP servers with independent domain names and ip addresses.
Such a server, when it is previewed by everyone, it is not clear that it is sharing a software system resource with others. The customer who rents space on this device can, according to the wireless control system, such as file transfer (FTP), specifically authorize to manipulate that part of the space that should belong to him, such as uploading and downloading of messages, and the provision of these functions. It should be said that, according to the method of "virtual hosting", there is a single site name, and its special cost performance is much higher than that of building and maintaining a server by itself. At this stage, this method of creating site names is used by many enterprises, Selected by the business editor.
3. What is the difference between private uplink broadband and shared uplink broadband?
1. Private uplink broadband The private uplink broadband refers to that in small and medium-sized hosting work, customers have higher standards for uplink broadband, and the content and characteristics of their website can only be achieved by using a single uplink broadband resource to meet the quality requirements. , And this kind of uplink broadband resources that are only used by independent customers are called private uplink broadband. The defect of private uplink broadband: With private uplink broadband, a whole block of uplink broadband resources belongs to one customer, so the billing is based on the highest value of the private uplink broadband, and does not depend on the customer's specific consumption.
For example, if one customer packs one rack and another 100M private uplink broadband, even if there is only one server in the rack that the customer packs, and this server only uses 1M uplink broadband, then This customer still has to pay the same amount according to the space fee for 1 rack and the upstream broadband fee for 100M private upstream broadband. The advantage of private uplink broadband: The amount of uplink broadband can be used at will, which can ensure the speed and network quality.
2. Shared uplink broadband The method of sharing uplink broadband is that the operator will initially configure the necessary uplink broadband resources for each rack, and then all servers in this rack will share and use this uplink broadband without paying attention to each server. The actual uplink broadband application situation is for customers who do not have much regulations on uplink broadband in the micro-host business.
Advantages of shared uplink broadband: The benefit of using shared uplink broadband is economy. For these methods, the management fee is only priced based on the U number of the server, and no additional uplink broadband costs will be charged.
The shortcomings of shared uplink broadband: The disadvantages of shared uplink broadband applications stem from the fact that all servers in one rack or even multiple racks share sufficient uplink bandwidth. Depending on the application of each server, some servers will occupy more Large uplink broadband, in this way, it will endanger the use of uplink broadband of other servers.
The use of this occupying uplink broadband is usually seen in video and download servers. Therefore, shared uplink broadband can only be used for customers who have basically no hard and fast rules on uplink broadband.
4. What aspects harm the server hosting rate? Server hosting system configuration (including server category, CPU, SSD speed, memory space, Ethernet speed, etc.); ChinaNet's international access speed; the visitor's ISP? (Internet connection service provider) port open to the client Connection efficiency; the connection speed of the server's network environment and the Internet backbone network; the network environment and speed of the server; the fast line speed between the visitor's ISP? (Internet connection service provider) and ChinaNet. 5. In the hosting server step, which party will maintain the server? In the hosting server step, the server maintenance is maintained by the professionals of the IDC service provider and their customers. For example, under normal circumstances, the network space of the server is managed by the IDC provider. To maintain; and the server's system and software environment are maintained by the user.
