What is a low-cost host? Where can I find a low-cost host? How to distinguish real low-priced physical goods?
First of all, the host I am talking about here is a virtual host, commonly known as a website space, which is a server dedicated to building websites.
Where can I find a real low-cost web host?
First of all, you have to understand the principle that what you pay for what you pay for is between an ultra-high price and an ultra-low price. This principle is 100% valid. For example, a pack of cigarettes costs 1 yuan, and a pack of cigarettes costs 100 yuan. Needless to say, a cigarette with 100 yuan is better. This fool knows. However, if there are three different brands of cigarettes, which are 30 yuan per pack, 25 yuan per pack, and 20 yuan per pack, which one is better? Maybe you will hesitate, because in life experience, when the price gap is within a reasonable range, the principle of "what you get for what you pay" can be reversed, and the cost-effectiveness is also produced within such a reasonable range.
After understanding what I said above, I probably won’t be confused about the low-cost host I’m talking about. Low price is not super low price. It is a low price within a reasonable range. For example, a Hong Kong 500M virtual host, Investigate it as follows.
I surveyed four well-known merchants on the market:
Merchant A (Xinwang) sells 499 yuan a year (only in the United States);
Merchant B (Silicon Cloud) sells 160 yuan a year;
Merchant C (Alibaba Cloud) sells 199 yuan a year;
Merchant D (Western Digital) buys 288 yuan year;
Which one do you think is the real low price?
In the above example, first of all, the four merchants are very well-known, so the possibility of ultra-low prices can be ruled out. Anyone who has used virtual hosts knows that 100% of the ultra-low-priced Hong Kong 500M virtual hosts on the market will be less than 100 yuan, and about 80% of the ultra-low-priced hosts are less than 50 yuan a year. These hosts are of low quality. Therefore, the prices of Xinwang, Silicon Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Western Digital are reasonable online. So, in such a comparison, which host is the one with low price and high cost performance?
This problem is a problem that consumers have been discussing and weighing every day, because consumption and comparison involve all aspects of life and are going on every day. And we consumers need to understand from many aspects, which is so-called let us consumers take the initiative to grasp more information, in order to avoid incomplete information leading to buy low-cost products in the selection.
The so-called cost-effective calculation formula: performance ÷ price. In terms of performance, I have personally used the products of these four companies. If the full score is 100 as the standard, based on my personal experience and combined with the evaluation on the Internet, the approximate score is Xinwang America 500M virtual machine performance is divided into 91, silicon cloud Hong Kong 500M virtual machine performance is divided into 92, Aliyun 500M Hong Kong virtual machine performance is divided into 83, Western Digital performance is divided into 89, and the cost-effective calculation score is
Xinnet's cost performance score: 91/499*100≈18.2;
Silicon cloud cost performance score: 92/160*100≈57.5;
Alibaba Cloud cost performance score: 83/199*100≈41.7;
Western Digital’s cost performance score: 89/288*100≈30.9;
Through the above analysis, do you have a certain understanding of the concept of cost performance?
Of course, this is only an ideal state. Under normal circumstances, most consumers will certainly not have the time and experience to perform accurate calculations when purchasing, and it is impossible to obtain more comprehensive performance data. Therefore, I am here. Give everyone a simple method:
Three steps to buying a product
① Estimated product price range. Before purchasing the product, first understand the approximate price range of the host. For example, the annual payment of 500M virtual host>100 is the approximate range.
②Choose several business ranges. For example, Xinwang, Silicon Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Western Digital are representative of reasonable prices.
③Check the business's focus on the target product. The principle here is that it is often not cost-effective to choose a large and comprehensive merchant to buy things. To choose a merchant that is more focused on the target product, their products will generally be more cost-effective, such as those great single-product companies—— The Coca-Cola Company focuses on Coke. Most people will choose Coca-Cola. Would you buy a Coke produced by Wal-Mart?
Hope to help friends who choose virtual hosts, thank you!
