Servers are divided into cloud servers and physical servers. Cloud servers can basically meet more than 90% of the usage scenarios. Novice users go directly to understand that it is right to buy a cloud server. When choosing a cloud service provider and a specific cloud server configuration model, you should consider the following aspects:
1. Cloud server rental When choosing a cloud service provider, you should pay attention to the following details:
1. Reasonable geographical location When
we consider server rental, we must first determine which region of the server we want to rent. Only the location of the server room is determined. The configuration of the server can be selected. Considering the geographic location, the preferred location of the server can be comprehensively evaluated from three aspects: traffic convenience, network resource nodes, and target customer groups.
2. Abundant bandwidth resources
In addition to choosing the geographical location of the server, the abundance of network resources is also an aspect that we need to pay attention to. When we are developing our business, the customer group we face is nationwide, so for the choice of bandwidth, bgp bandwidth should be considered first. It solves the problem of interconnection and interconnection between different bandwidth operators. For users to access the server The delay will not happen again, creating a good network access environment for users.
3. Secure network environment
Security is a problem that every server renting customer is very concerned about, which includes the security of data information and the security of network defense. With the development of network services in various industries, network attacks occur from time to time, and servers with high-strength defense capabilities have become the primary server type of choice for many industries. Therefore, it is very important to rent a server with high defense, which can provide us with a safe network environment to conduct business.
4. Perfect after-sales service After
we rent the server, the server provider will provide after-sales technical support and server fault handling for us. Therefore, we need to understand the service provider’s after-sales service quality level, whether the technical ability is strong, and the server failure Whether the processing capacity is timely and so on. These aspects are the cornerstones to ensure the normal development of our business and normal network access.
2. When choosing a specific cloud server configuration model, you should pay attention to the following details (take Alibaba Cloud as an example):
1. Choose the region of the
cloud server first consider the region of the cloud server because the node of the server is closer to the target user, then the access The faster the speed. For example, if the target customers are gathered in the south, you can choose Alibaba Cloud's cloud servers in East China and South China. Secondly, you can consider the issue of filing. The mainland needs to do the ICP filing of the domain name before you can access it. Hong Kong and overseas do not need to file the domain name. At the same time, you can also consider Alibaba Cloud CDN acceleration products, so that user access speed will be improved.
2. Choose the model and specifications of the cloud server.
Take Alibaba Cloud server as an example:
• 2-core 2G cloud server: suitable for websites with small concurrent visits;
• 2-core 4G cloud server: suitable for website applications with moderate traffic, simple development environment, Code repository, etc.;
• 4 core 8G cloud server: suitable for enterprise operation activities, parallel computing applications, and meet 90% of cloud computing users.
3. Choose the operating system of the
cloud server. The cloud server operating system mainly includes windows system and linux system. Choose according to your actual situation and familiarity with the system. For example, for websites or other network-related projects, ASP will be used more often, and Windows will be better, and the compatibility will be high. If you use PHP or Python extensively, it would be better to choose linux. In addition, customer needs must be taken into consideration.
4. Choosing the bandwidth of the
cloud server The bandwidth selection of the cloud server takes into account the application/website access traffic, data size, sharing/exclusive and other configurations on the server. Bandwidth: traffic=1:150, that is, 1M bandwidth=150M traffic , You can choose to pay by volume, if you are enterprise users, you can consider a higher bandwidth cloud server.
