Six major advantages of server hosting

Server hosting means that in order to improve the access speed of the website, your server and related equipment are hosted on a network with complete computer room facilities, high-quality network environment, rich bandwidth resources and operational experience, as well as real-time monitoring of the user's network and equipment. In the center, in order to achieve the purpose of safe, reliable, stable and efficient operation of the system. Hosted servers are maintained by the customer themselves or remotely by other authorized persons.

The data center can provide cabinet and bandwidth rental services for customers' key servers, so that the servers can maintain 24-hour service, seven days a week. When you intend to build your own Web, Email, Ftp, and SQL servers, and your website's applications are complex or your website's access rate is high, you can choose to purchase your own server for full-machine hosting.

When users intend to have their own Web, Email, FTP, SQL, etc. servers, there are two methods: one is to build it by themselves, and the other is to host it. Self-construction requires high-level software and hardware professional technicians, a large investment in purchasing software and hardware, and unlimited daily maintenance and line communication fees, uninterruptible power supply 365 days a year, hardware firewalls, etc. The cost and construction period are also longer. In comparison, hosting is economical, fast and practical.

The basic action mechanism of the Internet is client/server, and its biggest feature is that it spans time, space and regions. In other words, even if they are far apart, as long as everyone is on the network, the two parties can communicate directly, which provides us with an important technical means: remote control (RemoteControl). The technical foundation and means relied on by server hosting are mainly mechanisms such as "user/service" and "remote control". That is to say, no matter where our users are, as long as they can access the Internet, they can control the servers far away, thereby realizing the ownership and maintenance of the servers.

There are six major advantages of server hosting!

1. Cost savings

Lines: Enterprises do not have to rent expensive network lines and can share or exclusively enjoy the high-speed bandwidth of the data center.

2. Personnel and site

Personnel: The center's professional and technical personnel provide round-the-clock consultation and maintenance, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel. On-site: Complete power, air conditioning, monitoring and other equipment ensure the normal operation of enterprise servers, saving a lot of money in building computer rooms. Flexibility: Users can flexibly choose the lines, ports and value-added services provided by the data center according to their needs. There is no need to be limited by the functions of the virtual host service. The server can be flexibly configured according to actual needs to achieve full application.

3. Stability

The host will not be overloaded due to shared hosting, resulting in server performance degradation or paralysis. In an independent host environment, you can strictly control and test your own behavior and procedures to maximize the stability of the server.

4. Security

When sharing a host, different users will have different permissions, which poses security risks. In an independent host environment, you can set your own host permissions and freely choose firewall and anti-virus facilities.

5. Exclusivity

Shared hosting is a shared resource, so the server response speed and connection speed are slower than independent hosting. An independent host can choose sufficient network bandwidth and other resources, as well as the grade of the server, to ensure the high speed of the host response and network.

What is the difference between full machine hosting and virtual hosting?

The server hosting business can be subdivided into full machine hosting and virtual hosting.

"Full-machine hosting" means placing a server in a company with a network environment that is connected to the Internet in real time, or renting a server from it. Customers can configure the server as a WWW, E-mail, and Ftp server through remote control. "Virtual host" refers to: subdividing the hard disk of a UNIX or NT system. Each divided hard disk space can be configured into a www, email, and FTP server with an independent domain name and IP address. When people browse such a server, they cannot tell that it shares the resources of a host system with others. Users who rent space on this machine can use remote control technologies, such as remote login (telnet) and file transfer (FTP), to fully control the part of the space that belongs to them, such as uploading and downloading information, configuring application functions, etc. "Virtual hosting" has an independent site, and its performance-price ratio is much higher than building and maintaining a server by yourself. Currently, this method of building sites is used by more and more enterprises and institutions.

The advantage of "whole-machine hosting" is that users have full control over the host and can develop their own network services according to their own characteristics. Having their own WWW server can publish their own business information to the world and let others share it, which can shape the corporate image and promote sales. The advertising function of products and services also contributes to the construction of Chinese information resources on the international Internet. At the same time, it also allows companies to have an electronic version of their company introduction, which allows them to have their own email server. All employees have their own email mailboxes, which not only meets the communication needs, but also effectively protects the privacy of each employee; it has its own FTP server, allowing customers to directly transfer files and software in large quantities from the Internet, which is both convenient and Economical. It provides a new means for enterprises to strengthen after-sales service.
