1. Classification of space:
1. Classified by region, it is divided into two types: foreign space and domestic space. That is to say, whether the server of the space is at home or abroad. In fact, in the country, there are also service providers that sell foreign space. Here, we generally choose to purchase domestic space. Some people may say that domestic space is not as good as foreign space in terms of price and service to a certain extent.
But in fact, for us (especially novices), when purchasing overseas space, firstly, there are inconveniences in payment; secondly, there are difficulties in language communication; thirdly, there are IP blocks and technical processing troubles.
2. From a technical perspective, it is divided into ASP space and PHP space. The ASP and PHP mentioned here refer to the programming languages supported by the space. If you don’t understand, don’t worry about it. Just remember these terms. As for which space to choose, we have to decide based on the blog program we want to install in the future.
3. Fengyun doesn’t know how to classify this category. The service provider's space is generally divided into two categories, namely virtual hosting and shared hosting, and of course server hosting (simply put, you buy a computer with a server configuration and transport the computer to the service provider. He manages it for you, you pay the management fee and use it yourself).
However, if we build a small blog, we don’t need such a large amount of money. Generally, we can just buy a virtual host. If we build a larger website, we can consider renting a shared host.
2. Technical parameters of the host that you need to pay attention to when purchasing:
1. The difference between a single-line computer room and a dual-line computer room in China Telecom or China Netcom
Telecom or Netcom refers to the two major network communication service providers. Telecom lines are generally used more in the south, while Netcom is more used in the north. If you buy a telecom computer room, Netcom access will be slower. On the contrary, telecom access will be slower. Nowadays, hosting service providers generally configure dual-line computer rooms, and even telecom and network connections are relatively fast. As for fourth-line computer rooms and fifth-line computer rooms, Fengyun thinks it is unnecessary and is just a name.
However, the price of hosts in dual-line computer rooms is generally higher than that in single-line computer rooms. Currently, Fengyun Blog uses a single-line telecommunications computer room, but Fengyun has also achieved the effect of a dual-line computer room through free services. You can refer to the article Implementing Intelligent Netcom and Telecom Dual-line Servers for Free.
2. Main technical parameters of the space host:
Here you just need to pay attention to the IIS concurrency and traffic usage limits. Looking at too many parameters is actually not very useful, because the parameters are written by people. If they are written well, they may not really achieve the results for you. The key lies in the credibility of the service provider and the public's evaluation of the use.
The number of IIS concurrency is generally 100. As for the traffic regulations, as a personal blog, we generally need about 5G per month. Pictures and some downloaded files cannot be placed in your own space. They must be placed in free image space and network hard disk. Doing so actually has many benefits. First, it speeds up the browsing speed of your blog; second, it saves blog space capacity. ; Third, it also reduces the number of IIS concurrencies.
To explain, if it is a PHP space, there is generally no restriction on the IIS concurrency parameter.
3. Selection of space host operating system:
In fact, there are not many choices for this. There are many Windows operating systems in the ASP space, and the PHP space is generally a 64-bit LINUX system. For newbies, you don’t need to know much about this. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We bought space from Founder, so we can definitely use both systems. Fengyun has used both systems, and there is no difference for our small personal blog, so we don’t need to be too deliberate about pursuing which system.
4. Capacity selection of purchased space:
Fengyun believes that if you just build an independent blog, 100M space is enough. Currently, Fengyun blog has published 175 articles, configured 4 sets of theme templates, and 11 plug-ins, and only used a total of 16M space, including 800K database. When publishing articles in the future, only the database will be enlarged, and the database size occupied by an article is only a few K, not more than 10 K. Is it still enough?
The article is quite long, and I can’t help it. What needs to be said must be said clearly. I’m glad that everyone has the patience to read this.
3. Overview:
Okay, let’s summarize what kind of space you should buy to build an independent blog. In general, the space we want to buy is a domestic virtual host (pay attention to the parameters and techniques mentioned), and we will ignore the rest. This is the most basic configuration. In the future, after setting up a blog, you will have a better understanding.
In fact, space also has a lot of knowledge. In order to learn it quickly, we must learn to block some temporarily unused knowledge points to avoid getting dizzy. When Fengyun was learning assembly language before, he also temporarily blocked unused knowledge points. Learning by method is better than grasping it at once.
In this article, one thing to remember is actually: "We are buying a domestic virtual host to build an independent blog. As for whether it is an ASP host or a PHP host, we will leave it to the time when we choose the blog program." As for the better one Space service provider. Fengyun here recommends what he has used:
ASP space: Although there are many domestic ASP space service providers, Fengyun cannot recommend one that is very satisfactory. Wanwang’s space is relatively stable, but the price is indeed more expensive; the space I want to settle in is cheap, and the service is regular and stable. Not bad, but the speed is really not ideal. I haven't used it before, so I can't comment.
PHP space: There are now more and more PHP spaces in China. In the past, you usually had to buy foreign ones. Here Fengyun can recommend two spaces for more comfort, one is the Sleepwalking Technology space, and the other is the Pangu space. Because Pangu uses the cpanel control panel, the price is much higher. The price of sleepwalking is affordable, and the stability and speed are good.
Maybe you have a better space and can recommend it to Fengyun. However, a reminder, when buying a host, be sure not to search on the Internet, otherwise you will find a lot of junk hosts. If you really can’t trust Fengyun’s recommendation and think Fengyun is a “gunman”, then you have to buy space, at least it must be used by a friend for a while. , a relatively stable host with good speed and service.
