Recently, my friends often ask me, "What should I pay attention to when buying a server?" Let's talk about the difference between buying domestic servers and foreign servers.
What should I pay attention to when buying a server?
Buying a server is actually renting a server. There are many pitfalls when renting a server. The reason for writing this article is also to help you avoid some unnecessary troubles (pitfalls). Next, this small edition will tell you some problems that you need to pay attention to when buying a server.
1： Server tenant
A good server operator (IDC) is something we must consider when renting servers. To be honest, this part has rented servers from many server operators over the years, yes There are domestic and foreign ones, and each one gives you a completely different experience. The difference here means "good and bad". Choosing a good operator must be the most important thing to pay attention to when buying a server. It is not only more considerate, but also absolutely obvious to help you.
2： Server region
This should not be difficult to understand. The region where the server is located has a great impact on our business. For example, if our business is in China, we must rent domestic servers. On the contrary, if our business is abroad, we must also focus on renting foreign servers. Of course, whether domestic servers or foreign servers, There are more subdivisions. You should choose the one closest to you, which will greatly facilitate your server management.
3： Server configuration
I think the configuration of the server is actually quite complicated. Here I will simply talk to you. If I have the opportunity, I will write a special article about the "configuration of the server" to explain it in detail. If you are interested, please follow our WeChat official account“ Website knowledge ”, I will push the relevant content to the WeChat public account.
The server configuration includes memory, CPU, hard disk, bandwidth, CDN, load balancing, environment, etc. It also has different types, such as ECS, independent host, virtual host, etc. These server configurations have important determinants for our servers.
Differences between domestic servers and foreign servers
The biggest difference between domestic servers and foreign servers is actually "filing". Domestic servers can only be used after the domain name is registered. Foreign servers do not have this problem, and can be used whenever you buy them. However, renting foreign servers is not as simple as everyone thinks, and there are many things we should pay attention to.
1： Domain name registration
We also said that the domain name filing is the biggest difference between domestic servers and foreign servers. Foreign servers are really convenient when you buy them, but they also face the problem of IP addresses or domain names being blocked at all times, which is also the most annoying place for many young partners who rent foreign servers and then provide services to domestic users.
2： Network delay
Foreign servers are far away from our country because they are located in some foreign regions. There will be network delay. Although you can choose to rent Hong Kong servers and Korean servers, which are closer to our country, they are not domestic servers after all, so there will be delay when using them, When renting a server, you must consider whether your server should be domestic or foreign.
3： Language barrier
Although some large multinational server renters now provide Chinese services, when we encounter server problems, we often need to communicate with each other, such as phone calls and text, but at this time we will encounter some language problems, so we must be careful to choose domestic servers or foreign servers, Avoid unnecessary troubles.
