Before purchasing an Alibaba Cloud server, we need to understand several key points of the server, namely, server configuration, server broadband, and server regional nodes. The server configuration should be determined according to the user's actual usage scenario, and the server broadband should be calculated to select the appropriate broadband , Server regional nodes should be selected according to the distribution of users.
Server configuration selection The selection of
server configuration mainly depends on our usage scenarios. The following scenarios are for reference only. Note: It is recommended that you purchase Alibaba Cloud preferential packages. Custom purchases are more expensive. The preferential packages will be introduced at the bottom of the article:
1. Early stage and display websites: In the early stage of the website or display websites, the amount of information and visits is small, and only low configuration is required to meet the requirements. In the later business expansion, the configuration can be added at any time based on the elastic characteristics of cloud computing. Recommended configuration: memory: 1G, hard disk: 80G, bandwidth: 2M
2. Forum, portal sites: forums, portal sites, user activity and visits are high, choose fast cloud server type II to ensure sufficient resource space, Improve access speed. Recommended configuration: CPU: 2 cores, memory: 2G, hard disk: 120G, bandwidth: 3M
3. Brand official website: government, enterprise, etc. that pay more attention to official website and brand, recommend fast cloud server type III, website browsing is more fluent and smooth , To enhance the image of the government and brand. Recommended configuration: CPU: 4 cores, memory: 4G, hard disk: 200G, bandwidth: 5M
4. Video, shopping websites: video, shopping websites, containing huge data information, choose the fast cloud server type IV, rapid information processing Ability to ensure the normal progress of on-demand and transactions on the website. Recommended configuration: CPU: 8 cores, memory: 8G, hard disk: 300G, bandwidth: 7M
5. Games and software websites: game software websites with higher requirements for development, testing, and environment, and fast cloud server V-type is recommended. High resource allocation brings stronger computing performance and guarantees business needs. Recommended configuration: CPU: 16 cores, memory: 16G, hard disk: 500G, bandwidth: 10M
Server broadband selection
1M, 5M, 10M, 20M, etc. I don’t know how to choose. On the one hand, too much broadband will waste resources and money. If the broadband is too small, it will affect the user's waiting time and reduce the user experience. How to choose the right server broadband? ?
Server region node selection
Choose the ECS cloud server regional node according to the probability of the target customer's province and region;
1. You can also start according to the application scenarios of the subdivision field that the enterprise or individual is engaged in, for example: engaged in the game industry, it is recommended to buy the domestic East China 1-Hangzhou, because of the game The industry is more sensitive to network delays, choose East China 1-Hangzhou to cover users in Zhejiang and even the entire East China region; corporate websites are less sensitive to network delays, you can choose East China 1 to serve users throughout China and even some Asian users;
enterprise application scenarios use high-definition For video rendering, users who need to purchase Alibaba Cloud's GPU cloud server need to consider which regions support the service;
2. The choice of overseas ECS server regions is even simpler. For example, Southeast Asia 1-Singapore can be used to serve users in the entire Southeast Asia and South Asia, and East America 1-Virginia is even better, that is, it can cover the entire North America. It can serve Latin American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and it is not far from Europe. It can also be used to serve European users in a squeeze.
In summary, the selection of Alibaba Cloud servers is mainly based on server configuration, broadband and server node choices: in terms of configuration, it is recommended to purchase Alibaba Cloud preferential packages, which are more favorable; broadband is recommended to buy less first, and later upgrade with cloud monitoring as needed; Server region nodes are selected according to target users and usage scenarios.
