Some things to note about server hosting

With the expansion of the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/17533.html > company, Virtual hosts or servers set up in their own companies will be unable to meet the needs of bandwidth and stability, Host hosting is put on the agenda, and this article describes some considerations for server hosting.

1. Managed server can be small

Many friends know that it is not cheap to rent a place in the computer room. For small companies, in the initial period of investment, although want to save as much as possible, but to learn how to save, not to save the province. Managed hosts recommend a rack-only server that hosts 1U, although the initial hardware cost is a little higher, but in the long run it is more cost-effective, because the telecommunications room of the hosting fee is based on 1U per year how much money to calculate, if your server is too high, no doubt will pay more for the hosting costs, for example, in a Beijing computer room, Hosted 1U server 4000 yuan/year, hosting 2U server will be 6000 yuan/year, this shows that 1U server in the host area of application is very practical significance. Managed 1U servers are certainly the cheapest than hosting other kinds of servers, such as 2U servers, tower servers, and so on. Therefore, to the hosting, please first of all the parts of your tower server out, loaded into the 1U server chassis, which can save a large amount of money for you, think, the server is to host for many years ah, how much to save ah.

2. Risk of server custodian

A. Low-cost service providers are incredibly variable.

Now on the market, hosting the price of inconsistencies, the same hosting 1U host, your bid 8000 yuan/year, cheap as long as 2000 yuan/year, so many factors, although can not say that the expensive must be good, but do not think the cheaper the better. So where's the low price service provider? In fact, there is a very important factor is the size of the service provider, is not able to consistently operate, because now do the low threshold of hosting services, management is not very strict, two college students to the machine rent a cabinet can do, but small companies, personal service instability factors too much, In my experience basically half a year or so 80% will have changes, once encountered economic fluctuations or room rent up the profit is too little, washed up, or disorderly change of place, disorderly change IP, it is miserable, do not think this is rare, in fact, this situation is the majority.

B. The incident has occurred

Many small companies are too weak in technology, this in the maintenance of more than 10 servers is not obvious, once rely on low prices attracted more customers, the drawbacks are shown, such as dozens of servers, one or two technicians maintenance is very difficult. More customers, the problem will be more naturally, panic, restart, slow speed, to the computer room overhaul lines, with customers to the computer room, anti-virus, computer room problems, and so on, no matter what the problem, the customer feel is the problem of trusteeship, customer midnight Dozen mobile phone roaring is common, the original collection of money on less, once the follow-up custody of less, capital turnover only , we have to continue to maintain these servers to the end of the year, you say can not bother? Boring, mobile phone off, love who, hehe. This is not fresh, a few days ago, a friend dropped more than 40 machines, ran to vacation, mobile phone stop everything. Heartfelt words, hoping to give friends some help.

Of course, I didn't mean to belittle the small company, I think as long as the small company seriously, responsible, endurance, is entirely optional, but some things really do not take the will for the transfer, I see a lot of small companies, began to ambition, less than half a year, most less than 3 months, a big problem. Because this period is the customer much not many, the troublesome matter many stages, many companies are not quite past, on the upside down. Sometimes really can not go ah, you think about two people, midnight to call, server problems, we must go to the computer room, this customer calls constantly, aggressive, there is no problem solving, you said you can not fail?
