What can vps do? VSP (Virtual Private Server), called virtual private server, divides a server into multiple virtual private servers. Many people will compare VPS and ECS, but both have their own advantages and disadvantages. There are different opinions on online discussions, so we will not discuss them here. This article mainly shares various uses of vsp. VSP has many uses, such as hosting websites, acting as a direction agent, private VPN, FTP software download, etc. Next, Micronet will bring you eight main uses of the vps server, hoping to help you better understand the vps server.

1. Hosted website

It is the most common cloud server. You can set up a LAMP and download a WordPress to run. Micronet images are also equipped with a website management control panel. The threshold for building a website drops sharply. You can set up a blog when you have extra VPS. It can also provide blog services to the surrounding basin friends. It has done good deeds and flexibly used VPS resources, without consuming the electricity charge of the host room. How about giving it a try?

2. Do reverse proxy

Squid and varnish are perfect applications that can hide back-end servers. For your small website or blog, reverse proxy is more efficient than CDN. When you browse a URL for the first time, the reverse proxy and CDN must go to the source server to obtain resources, and then return to the client, which must take some time. Because there are many connection points in CDN, customers in Zhejiang Province browse the connection points in Zhejiang Province, or the connection points in each city in Zhejiang Province are likely to be different. Because of the small amount of browsing, there is no cache file on the connection point for the resources browsed by customers, which causes that each browsing must go to the origin site to read data, which takes a lot of time than immediate browsing. The reverse proxy is like a connection point, and the cache file accuracy will be higher.

In addition to acceleration, the reverse proxy server can have a large number of key management to improve the security of the website.

3. Private cloud (the same special tool)

Now there are many sophisticated cloud backup tools, such as Dropbox, but they are hosted by a third party. Although they claim to be so good at data encryption, they always feel like they are in a dilemma. With a vps server, you can use BTsync to build a private cloud, which will not be manipulated by a third party, and is suitable for Windows, Mac, Linux and even some NAS machines. BTsync's blockchain technology design scheme can create a secure channel between several machines and equipment. Compared with Dropbox's equivalent special tool client, which only reads data from the server, BTsync can receive and transmit data among several machines and equipment at the same time. Under the condition of network bandwidth, it can theoretically achieve faster speed, And they are not affected by server downtime on the server side (BTsync does not have a server side).

4. Private VPN

It is very simple to build a vpn with digital ocean. You can test it yourself and build pptpl2tpopenvpn with one click to give full play to the resource advantages of vps. Take the American digitalcoan as an example. The network bandwidth is above 100M, especially the speed of SanFrancisco host room to the mainland is excellent. Youtube4k is not a problem. Tip: It can only be used for your own use and cannot be disclosed. It is very easy to seal the number.

5. Set up personal mail server

Do you want to use your own website domain name email address? Is that really awesome? Hands on, food and clothing! Using vps to build a SendMail mail server, it is not a problem to send more than 100000 emails a day. I can also worry about some email servers blocking you all day long.

6. FTP software download station

If you want to share many e-books, songs and videos with your friends, why not build a software download station with vps? It is said that Baidu Cloud Disk Alliance can also be added to make money by downloading free views! This is very reliable.

7. Traditional mining (digital currency)

Nowadays, digital currency is booming. If there are idle vps resources, you can consider installing a software, digging coins on the network server, and earning digital currency. You should be able to make money by mining traffic ores. Many webmasters in China are doing business in this regard.

8. Build small and medium-sized servers

For example, Minecraft network server, retro legendary server, CS networking network server, etc.

What can a VPS with 64M running memory be used for? 64M is mainly "scientific Internet access". It can also build an lnmp natural environment to create a typecho blog, or put a static web page to create a small-scale reverse proxy, improve the speed of website opening, and build a DNS recursive network server, To avoid dns pollution, the probe can be hung. In fact, on the whole, the vps foundation of what large running memory vps can do with small running memory can also be done, but it is very easy to run out of running memory, or the same role must be done in other ways.
