Generally, our users may purchase more overseas VPS hosting projects for their project needs. In fact, I also prefer domestic products such as Alibaba Cloud, but some policies required by the latter are still more troublesome, so I am operating some debugging projects. At times, I tend to choose cheaper overseas VPS hosts. However, as newcomers when purchasing, we may or may not pay attention to some problems, so here I have sorted out a few problems that need to be paid attention to.
First, the problem of registering IP
Let's not replace the local IP wisely, what is the intention of our replacement? Make people wonder if we buy or do we wish it was faster? It can be purchased with a local IP normally. If we change the IP, there will be fraudulent orders, and there will be security issues of account lockout when we pay PAYPAL.
Second, the security of payment tools
We generally choose to use credit cards or PAYPAL payment methods. In our country, although the popularity of credit cards is still relatively good, the security supervision and follow-up after-sales problems are not enough, so I do not recommend using credit cards. If we If you can pay with a non-credit card, it is recommended to use a non-credit card as much as possible. If we really need to use a credit card, we need to do a good job in the security of the account, such as SMS reminders and other information about future bills. Or cancel the automatic renewal after purchase, cancel the binding of the credit card (for example, cancel the binding of the credit card after LINODE VPS purchase, refer to 1: http://www.yd631.com/linode-renewal/ (Linode VPS renewal method – recharge, binding and cancel the automatic renewal of the credit card), and you can see that the credit card also leaked security and caused a lot of losses. Reference 2: https://ruby-china.org/topics/10795 (the backstory of the Linode credit card information leak)).
Third, the importance of the choice of merchants is
especially important for Chinese consumers, who see cheap things crowded and snapped up. In fact, sometimes cheap is not only unstable, but also has many hidden dangers. Try not to choose cheap merchants. Even if you want to choose, you must Choose cheap ones to do some basic projects, or buy more expensive ones if you use them to build a website. For the choice of merchants, try to choose the ones used by domestic users instead of newly opened merchants, because we still don't want to be the first person to eat crabs.
Fourth, the problem of fraudulent orders When
we pay for the VPS host, there will be various problems that cannot be paid, such as fraudulent orders. This is caused by many problems, such as the integrity of our personal information, the localization of IP addresses, and the security of our payment methods. For this, we can refer to 3: http://www.hostusvps.com/21.html (HostUS payment method and the reasons and solutions for Fraud fraudulent orders), Reference 4: http://www.zen-cart.cn/forum/topic217721.html (How to judge the creditworthiness of foreign buyers to avoid paypal and credit card fraud)
Fifth, regarding the issue of automatic renewal
After we purchase the host, many people do not like to pay attention to whether there is an automatic renewal agreement. Generally, there is. If we want to use it all the time, don’t worry about it. If we hope that the second year may not be renewed, Then you need to cancel the automatic renewal. We can cancel the prepayment agreement after the VPS service provider CANCEL cancels the service bill, or cancel the prepayment agreement at our PAYPAL (Reference 5: http://www.7dot.com/post/15/ (Cancel Paypal automatic renewal)).
To sum up, although the safety of overseas people is better than that of domestic ones, it is necessary to guard against others. It is better for us to be cautious.
