Website creation: Select server hosting or virtual host

As we all know, you need to purchase or rent a server to store the webpage space for website construction. So, is it enough for us to select a server to lease or purchase the entire host or just select a virtual host? Before answering this question, let's first understand the definitions and differences between server hosting and virtual hosts.

I. Generally, traditional host services in the industry can be divided into server hosting and virtual hosts.

1. server hosting is to place a host in a company with a network environment connected to the Internet, or rent a host from it, you can remotely configure the server to WWW, email, and Ftp servers.

2. VM segments the hard disks of a UNIX or NT system. Each segment of hard disk space can be configured as www, email, and FTP servers with independent domain names and IP addresses, when such a server is browsed, it cannot be seen that it shares a host system resource with others. Users who rent a space on this machine can use remote control technology, such as file transfer (FTP), to control the part of the space that belongs to him, such as downloading information, configuration of application functions.

Server hosting is mainly for ICP and enterprise users who have the ability to manage their own servers and provide services such as WEB, EMAIL, and database. However, they need to use IDCs to improve network performance without building their own high-speed backbone network connection.

It should be said that using a virtual host to own an independent site, its performance and price is much higher than self-built and maintained a server, at present, this method of website establishment is increasingly used by enterprises and institutions.
