Due to the popularity of the network, both enterprises and individual users have started to rent servers online to promote their products or businesses. However, many users have difficulty in buying servers after the website is built. Because they do not know enough about the server performance and features, many people find that the server is not suitable for their own use after renting it. In view of this situation, the Micron Network reminds you to be careful when making choices. So today, Micronet will tell you how to rent a server and the precautions for renting a server to help you better choose the right server.
First of all, Micronet introduces the types of server rental on the market. Now, the types of servers on the market mainly include the following:
Physical server
The server mentioned in this article refers to a physical server, that is, after a user rents a server, the server will set up a physical server for the user according to the user's needs. This type of server is generally leased with high security, independent resources, strong scalability, and is suitable for users with high resource requirements and security requirements. The overall cost is also high.
ECS rent (Virtual Machine)
Cloud computing service integrates the resources of multiple physical servers and reallocates them to an independent cloud server through distributed technology. It is the most popular cloud product at present, that is, it can enjoy independent resources according to user needs, and can also upgrade the configuration smoothly. Its management is simpler and more efficient than physical servers. Users do not have to purchase hardware in advance. However, when there is a problem with the server, it is easy to create a joint situation. The rental price of cloud computing services is relatively cost-effective.
Virtual Host (VPS)
Virtual machines divide servers into several virtual hosts through disk splitting technology, and then rent these space to users. In order to facilitate users' use, independent IP addresses are generally allocated, but some businesses let users share IP addresses to save money. The virtual machine space is generally small, and the user permissions are not perfect. However, due to its high cost performance, full CPU, hard disk, bandwidth and other characteristics, it is favored by small and medium-sized enterprises and individual webmasters.
So how to choose Leased What about the server type? Micronet will introduce specific information for you.
If you want to rent a server, you must select the factors that affect the server's access during operation. Server bandwidth size, line problems, etc. will affect the user's access speed, thus affecting the user experience.
1. Server hardware configuration
The hardware configuration of the server includes the size of the hard disk capacity, CPU capacity, and content capacity. In general, the larger the capacity of the hard disk, the more stable the operation process, and the more stable the user access. In the use process, the risk of failure will be greatly reduced.
2. Server bandwidth
Generally, server bandwidth will directly affect user access rate. As user access increases, bandwidth can be increased appropriately. If the peak value of user access is too large and the bandwidth is too small, the user access will be unstable or even inaccessible. The DD attack is aimed at this situation. It uses a large number of IP addresses to access the website at the same time, resulting in the inability to access the website, or even the server paralysis. If the bandwidth is too small and users cannot access it, spiders will be turned away. This will lead to a decline in the trust of search engines to the website for a long time. This is something that all website friends should pay attention to.
3. Computer room server factors
The server room is selected in the first place. If the server room is incorrectly selected, no matter how high the server configuration is, it cannot be accessed effectively. First, check whether the lines in the computer room meet your needs. There is also the location of the computer room. Generally, the first tier cities can access provincial backbone lines, which are more optimized and faster. Try to choose a computer room with a long history. The line is relatively stable. It provides a strong guarantee for the efficient management and safe operation of the computer room.
4. Select the server line
Pay attention to the server line when renting the server. If the line is not on the right line, it will directly affect the user's access speed. For example, if the users are mainly concentrated in the south, it is recommended to choose Telecom and choose Netcom lines in the north. BGP three-tier server is the best choice, which can intelligently identify user lines and switch server lines for user access lines.
5. Whether the server has been filed
Although the filing problem of the server has nothing to do with the user's access speed, it should be mentioned here that if you want to have a faster online speed, it is recommended to use the Hong Kong server immediately after purchase, which can avoid filing, is very convenient, and will not affect optimization and use. The Hong Kong computer room adopts international lines, which can also ensure the use of overseas users.
6. Server operating system
The programming languages of different sites are different, and the corresponding operating systems are also different. If it is not selected correctly, it will affect the loading speed of the website. For websites developed with ASP, it is better to choose Windows operating system rather than Linux operating system that does not support asp language; If the website is developed in PHP, it is recommended to choose Linux operating system. This is because on a Linux server, running PHP web pages under the Linux+Apache+MySQL architecture will be more efficient and stable. There is no doubt that Windows+Apache+MySQL php is also a kind of architecture. In addition, Linux server also supports zend acceleration to make website access more smooth.
After talking so much, how can I rent a server? Now let's introduce the way to rent a server.
Generally, the server lease is determined by the lease term, including monthly rent, quarterly rent, semi annual rent and annual rent. The longer the lease term, the more concessions. If it is a short-term project, you can choose according to your own situation. If it is a long-term stable use, or it is recommended to choose annual payment, after all, the price is more favorable.
After such a long introduction, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of server leasing. However, Micron Network should remind everyone that when buying servers, we should not blindly pursue price concessions, but make purchase plans according to our own needs. The best one is the one that suits us, so as to avoid wasting resources.
