Choosing a virtual space operator price is an important factor

When you choose a virtual space trader, you must first know your needs and set a reasonable budget for this requirement. Of course you can't put a Mercedes 1/10 of the price as a Mercedes budget, which is unreasonable. Through the recent survey of China's virtual space business, I found that the average site for a year of space prices in RMB200 yuan to RMB1500 yuan such a range. This price fluctuation depends on the number of databases you need and the size of the space, the more demand, the higher the price.

To understand the importance of a space-price budget, first we need to understand the cost of running a virtual space company, which includes three huge expenditures:

--Server

--Storage space

--Manpower

1 server is the most obvious cost of virtual space business, no server can not assume any Web site to provide virtual space services. The traffic of a server and the amount of Web page transfer determine the number of customers a server can bear, and the cost of a well configured server is between RMB15000 and RMB25000.

2 storage space is an important part of the virtual space industry, storage space determines the number of sites that customers can store. The price of storage space is very large, small to a hard disk RMB500 yuan, large to a hundred thousand of Yuan of San or NAS storage.

3 each customer needs after-sale technical services, because each virtual space platform is not the same, more or less are different, each customer will need customer service assistance to make their own web site in the virtual space normal operation. Hardware or software will sometimes have some problems, this time, technical customer service is the most direct way to help customers, this shows the need for after-sale technical services, technical services, the size of the cost directly depends on the technical support experience and technology level.

Now that we understand the basic costs of running a virtual space company, we know why we shouldn't choose a space trader who is priced too cheaply. Reasons to stay away from the virtual space quotient of the price below rmb200/years:

1 at such a low price basis, these space operators how to profit, there is no doubt that they will put as many customers on the same server, so that when so many customers on the same server, the speed of the site will undoubtedly be greatly affected.

2 This low-cost virtual space operators are unlikely to provide good server infrastructure systems because they cannot afford high quality server configurations, good network equipment, and the cost of storage mechanisms. The typical problem is that they keep their clients ' files on the server's local hard drive, and 95% of mainland virtual space vendors are still using it. In this way, if there is any problem with the hard disk, the customer's website will not be accessible, and the hard disk repair takes a long time, often requires 2-4 hours from the backup to restore the site. If there is a problem at this time, it will take longer and even have no way to fix it. I'll explain later how the server configuration can be described as a good server device system.

3 This virtual space provider will hire servers from large virtual space vendors, meaning that they do not have direct access to the server's data center for hardware or operating system problems. However, these large space providers have a lot of customers, so to respond to one of the customer's problems, customers often need to wait a long time. Another problem is that these types of space vendors will hire different large space business servers, and then different space vendors will have different hardware configurations in most cases, so it is difficult for them to set a standard space platform for their customers.

4 after-Sales technology customer service is often not in line. For virtual space providers, one of the big costs is human costs. For users of virtual space, we need 24 hours of service per day from experienced technicians. Low-cost space operators, they can not afford the human cost of senior technical staff, can not build a complete management team, effective training program, ultimately no one can help you at this level of service.

5 a good virtual space provider is very clear about its price mechanism. In the long run, they know the actual cost of running a good virtual space company, in addition to the clear cost, they have accumulated a lot of experience in the long space operation process, know what software, hardware and network equipment for their customers.

6 Now some of the Low-cost operating virtual space companies have only 1-2 staff. Because it is often only the company owner and a few partner members, there is no management costs, very little training costs, no good server infrastructure systems because there are often only more than 10 or fewer servers. So they don't have a team that creates a good server infrastructure. This is an important factor that they can offer so low cost. When the number of their customers increases to a certain extent, this bad server system will need to put more cost to maintain operations, while the human needs greatly increase the company's operating costs and at the same time create other problems. In contrast, you will be more willing to look for trust and long-term cooperation in the development of virtual space business.

Many virtual space operators underestimate the work behind the space operation, easy network library [webweb.com] front-line employees are after 3 months of specialized technical training before the formal induction, although the front-line staff, but will continue to learn a lot of professional technical knowledge and good customer service knowledge, Only in this way can we provide good customer service and technical support. More importantly, the Internet market is a constantly changing market, every moment in the production of new software, new hardware, new versions, new bugs, these new things we will be added to the Virtual space training program for our staff to learn. A good space provider should have a team that pays close attention to these new things on the Internet, learning and using it. Most importantly, a server can sometimes come up against unexpected situations this is a normal thing, for a space provider with a good infrastructure system and a good technical support team, these are simple and easy to solve, which is why a good server infrastructure system is so important.

Overall, a good virtual space trader needs to have a good server infrastructure system at the same time this system is not cheap, so it is not a wise choice to choose too cheap virtual space quotient!

What kind of server base configuration system are we looking for? Linux and Windows Server infrastructure configuration system is a bit different, here I briefly say the Windows configuration this block.

1 Easy-Net library [webweb.com] uses centralized storage (centralized storage) such as San or NAS. This way the performance of the storage mode compared with the domestic space business storage mode is like 10 hard disk features compared to a hard disk.

2 centralized mode of user and file Rights management. There are occasional problems with web space, when a virtual space trader wants to move a user from one server to another with a lot of user names and file permissions, which typically takes 2-10 to four hours to repair. But in a good infrastructure system, these problems can be repaired in minutes, which greatly shortens the time available to clients ' Web sites.

3 different functions of the server independent of each other. Many virtual space service providers will ftp, Web space, mailbox space on the same server above, this setting is very bad, if this server has any problems, then all of your services at the same time there are problems. Also, this setting is also prone to slow access. This configuration is also difficult to manage, imagine if the company has 1000 servers, then in accordance with this setup, they need to manage 1000 Web server, 1000 mailbox servers, 1000 FTP servers, virtually greatly increased the management difficulty.

There are, of course, more in-depth techniques to build this good server infrastructure, which is not explained here. But choose a virtual space quotient above three points is this fictitious space merchant should have.
