In this era of highly integrated Internet information, when we want to access our information to the Internet to create more value for ourselves, we will inevitably use Virtual host However, there are differences between domestic and foreign virtual hosts, and their prices are also different. What are the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign virtual hosts? I believe that we also have a lot of doubts about this problem, so today Neutrino network Let's get to know.

The so-called domestic virtual host refers to the computer room where the virtual host server is hosted in China, excluding Hong Kong and Macao, while the foreign virtual host refers to the computer room where the virtual host server is hosted in foreign countries (including Hong Kong and Macao). From the price point of view, the virtual host with the same configuration is generally cheaper in foreign countries than in China, but in terms of technical support, payment In terms of speed, foreign hosts are usually at a disadvantage. The following is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign virtual hosts.

Advantages of domestic virtual hosts:

1. Domestic users have a fast access speed. Because the website is in China, users do not need to use submarine optical cables when visiting, so the speed is usually faster than that of foreign virtual hosts.

2. Service localization. The domestic virtual host customer service usually has the same commuting time as the webmaster. There are various ways to provide support, such as QQ, telephone, email, etc., and there is usually no problem in communication and exchange.

3. Domain name security. The domestic regulatory authorities usually do not adopt a domain name blacklist strategy for domestic host users, so the domain name can ensure security. However, if a foreign virtual host is used, once sensitive content appears on the website, the website domain name may enter the blacklist, resulting in the inability of the entire website to access from home, even if the host and IP are changed, the website cannot be recovered.

Disadvantages of domestic virtual hosts:

1. It must be filed, and the filing process is relatively cumbersome. It usually takes several weeks to several months to file successfully, and it is difficult to obtain the information that some types of websites need to provide, leading to a low success rate of filing. Many webmasters have changed to foreign hosts after purchasing domestic hosts because of the final abandonment of the filing.

2. The telecommunications network is not interconnected. The host of the telecommunications line has a slow access speed, and the host of the telecommunications line has a slow access speed, which is slower than the foreign host. As the joke said, "On the Internet, the furthest distance is not China and the United States, but Netcom and Telecom.",

3. The good and bad services are mixed. Because the threshold of virtual hosting is low, service providers are mixed, and many service providers are oversold.

Advantages of foreign virtual hosts:

1. The price is cheap, the server is stable, the foreign host market is mature and standard, and the network technology is first-class. Generally speaking, the price of foreign virtual host services is relatively low. In this regard, the domestic virtual host market cannot compare with foreign virtual host companies. Therefore, if you want to reduce the cost of website operation, you can consider foreign low-cost and high-quality virtual hosts.

2. To overcome the problem of mutual access of China Telecom Netcom, whether telecom users or China Netcom users, the speed of accessing foreign hosts is not very slow.

3. No filing is required. At present, the management of the Internet by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China is limited to the compulsory control of domestic ISP access providers. Foreign ISPs (including Hong Kong) are not managed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, so they can be used without filing. Websites that cannot be registered in China can access foreign virtual hosts without restrictions.

4. The functional services are good. Most foreign products have technical advantages, and the host services provided will be relatively more comprehensive.

Disadvantages of foreign virtual hosts:

1. It is easy to be blocked because the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology cannot directly manage foreign websites, so most Chinese users are forbidden to visit certain websites by means of shielding. The usual shielding includes IP shielding and domain name shielding. If it is IP shielding, it is usually possible to visit another IP website, while if the domain name is blocked, it is impossible to access even if the IP is changed. Once the website is blocked, Usually, you can only change the domain name, and the traffic loss will be very large. Another situation is involvement. Because in the setting of virtual host, one IP address is usually assigned to multiple websites of different users. Once one website is blocked by IP address, other websites will also be involved, making them inaccessible and blocked together.

2. The speed is slow. Generally, Chinese users visit foreign hosts slower than domestic hosts.

3. The service is not localized. Usually, foreign hosts do not have special Chinese customer service. Because of the time difference, the daytime in the United States is just the night in China. The communication is unchanged, and the cost of international phone calls is also high. The webmaster is required to be proficient in English through email communication. Communication is conducted through English and customer service. The website services and interfaces of foreign hosts are usually in English, If the domestic webmaster's English is not good, he may encounter a language barrier.

4. For payment, the payment of foreign hosts usually requires credit cards and Paypal, and most of them do not support Alipay. Therefore, domestic users often have trouble paying when buying foreign hosts.

To sum up, Micronet believes that foreign hosts and domestic hosts still have their own advantages and disadvantages. For websites that mainly serve Chinese users, the use of domestic hosts does have some advantages. Even if it is more troublesome, at least the domain name is safe. If the website content is English, it mainly serves foreign users, such as foreign trade type websites, It is more appropriate to use foreign hosts.
