For website operations, choosing a good, suitable server is an important prerequisite. For server selection, we usually have two ways to purchase or rent it from an IDC operator. So, which one is better, or is it more cost effective? Let's make a comparison.
the benefits of rental server advantages and disadvantages
to IDC server lease is convenient and low-cost carriers, we know that most need to install the server later bought The system and software are then debugged and finally put into the IDC room, so it is relatively easier to rent the server directly in the IDC room. For example, the transportation link is omitted. If the computer room is not far from the user's location, it is very easy to do. It is OK to drive or ride in the past, but if the IDC computer room is far away from the user's location, it is usually very troublesome to transport it. Renting is indeed a relatively good method. In particular, there are very few computer room resources in the Southwest and Northwest China. It is really better for users in those areas to use their own servers to host them.
However, renting a server room also has its shortcomings, mainly in most cases users can not see what it was like their own rented server, some of the more generous operator touches will truthfully told customers they rented What brand and model is the server. However, there are very few IDCs that use self-assembled servers as rental services to reduce costs. Therefore, it is the simple configuration information of the servers that can be provided to the users. As for what brand of motherboards or even motherboard chips are used, these are remote users. You can view it when you manage the server.
server buy their own strengths and weaknesses
biggest obstacle if users buy their own server room hosting then put encountered is probably the price. But now with the reduction of server costs, most professional customers and large customers have changed to adopt self-purchasing equipment and then take the way of hosting, because the advantages of self-purchasing are obvious.
Using one's own way to assemble a server, even half of the new parts and half of the second-hand parts assembled is not too expensive; users who want high performance can get enough money to buy 4 Roads and even 8-way products, some users who focus on brand and stability can also directly purchase the first-line products of IBM and HP. In addition, some users may need to use a special operating system and software, or need to COPY a large amount of data to the server hard disk in advance, these operations are not very convenient to remotely control the server room, usually first debug or copy and then take Go to the computer room for hosting.
by comparing the above two methods, it can be concluded: For a place far away from the room, you can choose to rent a server, eliminating the trouble of commuting. If you are not far from the computer room, it is best to buy the server yourself and then host the computer room, even if the price will be more expensive than renting.
ancient saying goes, fish and can not have both, then there really would not take into account price stability and at the same time it? The appearance of the VPS host makes the answer clear at a glance. The VPS host is a product between hosted and virtual hosts, and it is a much more advanced space lease than a virtual host. The VPS host allows the user to have full control of a separate operating system, and the user can install the program, customize the application scope, and so on. This way users don't have to worry about whether to support certain components when using a virtual host, whether there are restrictions on the number of simultaneous visitors, and so on.
In addition, from the function that each virtual host smaller VPS host and host a real difference, but a lot cheaper price than dedicated hosting. Each virtual host has an independent public IP address, and can install its own database and application programs. At the same time, customers can choose which operating system to use. They can have the privileges of super administrators such as Administrator or Root, and can directly manage the leased hosts. .
At present, the VPS host service can be said to be a popular IDC service, and it is also a similar virtual host rental service in the future. Compared with the self-purchasing server, the VPS host service is compared. Cheaper also has the advantages of server leasing, compared to the traditional server leasing and virtual host, VPS host generally has a relatively high configuration, the server that rents this configuration is too expensive, and the VPS host is cost-effective to rent. some.
While VPS hosting has several advantages, but how to choose or according to your own needs, the saying goes, there is no best, only better, also select the server, not the best way, only the most The way that suits you.
