A large number of environments with a control panel to facilitate the deployment of the mirror, as long as FTP, the rest are all graphical operations, Reduce the management threshold; for large enterprises, Ali cloud is to provide excellent high-end service "

From August 2012 trial application cloud Ali cloud host ECS began, Ali cloud Cloud Hosting has been providing very good service,  
 
2013 年 3 月 Purchase year pay and start filing , filing lasted 11 days to complete,  
 
Because the information submitted by the middle of their own to fill in question, once again good luck,  
 
Later, it is best to print the URL directly, without manual entry, and soon the official filing automatically prints the URL.  
 
Currently using multiple Ali cloud products, in this country for the domestic, Ali cloud is very convenient and provide product services are also very good.  
 
 
 
1. Why choose Aliyun?  
 
 
12 years ago, I have already held a number of foreign VPS in my hand,  
 
At that time are generally more LNMP or LNMPA installation,  
 
The advantage of foreign VPS is not for the record, but there are many problems in the speed of access, but once the line problems, it will interrupt the visit, people are annoyed.  
 
Aliyun when I know Aliyun, has been running for several months on the line,  
 
At that time, 68 yuan in many places on behalf of the disbursement of gold, so he engaged in a test, the effect is indeed very good, continuous test for a few months,  
 
Access speed, connection speed, upload speed are very good, so eventually bought in March 2013 to pay the annual 512M, began the cloud road.  
 
 
 
2. Hard to force the record career  
 
 
Previously filed before, when a filing of the record, and later with the domain name to give up, the record is gone,  
 
Ready to move to Aliyun need to re-filing, so breath all the eight domain names submitted for the record,  
 
Then review and download the print material, but because of clerical errors, fill in the domain name to describe the next, so after mailing,  
 
Received hard to force Reply: Hello, the mailing list you have received, your checklist unqualified. According to the requirements of the Administration, the verification form is strictly forbidden to be altered. Please re-mail the information. Thank you for your cooperation.  
 
So I ran out to reprint and fill in the mail, and then SF SFO.  
2013-03-11 start filing, 2013-03-22 next, lasted 11 days, the speed is OK, but now it seems that Shandong can not be prepared ...  
 
The existing filing process has been optimized a lot, closing screen photo shoot, download the print verification single signature mail.  
 
 
 
 
The long road to the clouds  
 
 
After filing, I moved all the sites to Aliyun and started using ECS ​​with 512M memory and running LNMPA.  
 
After more than a month of operation, the website is good, but found that sometimes ECS will hang up, check LOG found memory burst.  
 
Because Wordpress is to eat large memory, if not optimized OK 512M not enough, so all the site data backup,  
 
Then replace with Wordpress MU (multi-site, comes with features), and then import each site data.  
 
Due to the lack of visualization of LNMPA, I changed the environment to the DirectAdmin panel and, by the way, upgraded the memory to 1G.  
 
After many debugging, the website finally settled down, and has been running smoothly Ali cloud.  
 
ECS management interface has changed a lot compared to the previous, and recently launched an automatic snapshot, for the novice is extremely convenient, problems can be extremely fast recovery of site data.  
 
 
 
4. new cloud server purchase  
 
 
At present, Alibaba Cloud has six months of free cloud host ECS for new subscribers and a six-month RDS support of RMB0.60. New subscribers only need to pay 139Mbps bandwidth fee to fully experience the cloud service.  
 
(1) Getting Started How much memory to choose the cloud host?    
 
Ali cloud start is 512M, if only run Nginx + PHP is enough, not enough time to upgrade directly to 1G + memory restart the machine.  
 
(2) The importance of RDS  
 
Benefit from Ali cloud support policy, RDS can be purchased at a very low price, then there is no need to install Mysql ECS,  
 
Direct use of RDS can save ECS memory footprint, and database security has been greatly improved, as well as automatic database backup.  
 
 
(3) OSS open storage service  
 
You can use the OSS storage file to download, you can also use a variety of plug-ins OSS as an attachment dedicated storage, the benefit is to reduce the site size, backup and recovery convenience.  
 
 
 
Experience Alibaba Cloud Services, ECS + RDS + OSS + OCS at the lowest price, one-stop service to dramatically reduce operating costs.    
 
For individuals and small and micro enterprises, Aliyun offers very low prices and excellent service, for not bad money for large enterprises, Aliyun is to provide excellent high-end services.    
 
Now Ali cloud provides a large number of environment with control panel to facilitate the deployment of the mirror, as long as FTP, the rest is all graphical operations, reducing the management threshold.

 
5. Excellent after sales  
 
 
Alibaba first settled in because of the installation environment or software found a problem, submit the work order soon after the reply and solution.  
 
For users, fast and effective technical support and after sales is very important, after all, more domestic or novice users.  
 
However, the recent launch of a variety of images with a control panel will reduce the after-sales workload.  
 
In fact, Aliyun users, there is a very useful service - cloud shield.  
 
6 powerful cloud shield
 
 
What is cloud shield?  
 
Cloud Shield is the result of Alibaba Group's years of research in security technology. Combined with the powerful data analysis capabilities of Alibaba Cloud Computing Platform, Cloud Shield provides DDoS protection, host intrusion protection, and a complete set of security services such as vulnerability detection and Trojan detection. Cloud Shield is automatically enabled when you purchase ECS.  
After opening the cloud shield can intercept most of the SQL injection attacks and password guessing, and even can provide some DDOS protection.  
 
Cloud Shield can help users to intercept most of the attacks against the Web site to detect various vulnerabilities, allowing users to save time and money on security.
