Let’s talk about servers in detail. Regarding cloud servers, we mainly consider how big your business volume is (determine how much configuration is needed) and which operating system you are familiar with (windows or linux).
Generally speaking, although Windows is easy to operate, Linux is much more secure and more difficult than Windows. Therefore, this tutorial will mainly use the Linux system to explain to you. The following picture is a cloud server selection configuration page of a server provider. (The pages of other service providers are different but similar). We can choose different configurations according to our needs:
Generally speaking, when we first start building a website, we choose 2 cores for CPU, 4G of memory, about 30~50G of system and data disks, and 1M of bandwidth. After all, this configuration can be upgraded and changed at any time, and it is the first choice for many start-up websites.
A few things you need to know:
How to choose the line?
The telecommunications lines of Southern Telecom users have fast access, intelligent multi-line and BGP are relatively comprehensive. Hong Kong lines are free of registration but have slower access speeds. As for high defense, it is for higher security. Note that some lines require enterprise users, so remember to read more introductions when choosing a line.
How to choose a system?
This tutorial is mainly based on Linux, and we use the Ubuntu system as an example. As for the distribution version, you don’t have to worry too much, 16.04~22.04 can be used
The rest of the options, such as storage and snapshot information, can be left as default, or choose cheaper options because they are basically not available in the initial stage.
