Domestic and foreign virtual host selected which one is good

Buy a good domain name, the choice of virtual host, and select the domain name, the virtual host also has domestic and foreign points, the Chinese webmasters should choose the domestic virtual host or foreign virtual host it? I hope this is every one of the owners will encounter a problem. The so-called domestic virtual host refers to the virtual host server hosting in the domestic computer room, not including Hong Kong and Macao, while the foreign virtual host refers to the virtual host server hosting in foreign countries (including Hong Kong and Macao), from the price point of view, the same configuration virtual Hosts, foreign countries are usually cheaper than domestic, but in terms of technical support, payment, foreign host speed is usually at a disadvantage, here is my summary of the advantages and disadvantages of domestic and foreign virtual host.

The advantages of domestic web hosting:

1, domestic users access speed, because the site in the country, users do not need to take the time to visit submarine cable, so the speed is usually faster than the foreign virtual host.

2, service localization, the domestic virtual host customer service usually the same working hours and webmaster to provide support for a variety of ways, such as QQ, telephone, e-mail, communication and exchange is usually no problem.

3, the domain name security, domestic regulators usually for domestic users will not host the domain name blacklist strategy, the domain name can guarantee security, and the use of foreign web hosting, once the site appears sensitive content, the site domain name is likely to enter the blacklist , Resulting in the entire site can not be accessed from home, even if the replacement of the host and IP can not be restored.

Disadvantages of domestic web hosting:

1, must be filed, and the filing process is more cumbersome, usually weeks to months to filing success, and some types of sites need to provide information is difficult to obtain, resulting in filing success rate is not high, many webmasters in the purchase After the domestic host all because of the record and finally give up the foreign host.

2, Telecom Netcom barrier, telecom lines host Netcom access speed is very slow, Netcom line of host telecommunications access speed is very slow, slower than visiting foreign hosts slower. As the joke said, "the farthest distance on the Internet is not China and the United States, but Netcom and Telecom,"

3, the service varies greatly, because the virtual host threshold is low, so the service providers quite a mixed bag, many service providers over-sale situation.

The advantages of foreign web hosting:

1, cheap, stable server, the host market abroad mature norms, first-class network technology, in general, the price of foreign web hosting services are relatively low. At this point, the domestic web hosting market can not be compared with foreign web hosting providers. Therefore, if you want to reduce the operating costs of the site, you can consider foreign low-cost and high-quality virtual host.

2, to overcome the problem of mutual access Telecomcom, regardless of telecommunications users or Netcom users, the speed of access to foreign hosts are not very slow.

3, No filing. At present, MIIT's management of the Internet is restricted to the forcible control of ISPs in China. ISPs in foreign countries (including Hong Kong) are not under the control of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Therefore, websites that can be used without filing and can not be filed in China Can have unlimited access to foreign web hosting.

4, functional services are better, most of the products abroad have technical advantages, the host services provided will be relatively more comprehensive.

Disadvantages of foreign web hosting:

1, easy to be sealed, because the Ministry of Industry can not directly manage foreign websites, so most of the way through the ban forbidden Chinese users access to certain sites, the usual shield, including IP shield and shield the domain name, if it is IP shield, usually for an IP The website can be accessed again, and the domain name shield can not be accessed even if the IP is changed. Once the website is shielded, the domain name can only be replaced by the domain name. The traffic loss will be very large. There is another situation is implicated, due to the setting of the virtual host, an IP is usually assigned to many different users of the site, and once one of the sites is IP, other sites will be implicated cause the same can not be accessed, Also sealed together.

2, slower, under normal circumstances, Chinese users to visit foreign host will be slower than the speed of access to domestic host.

3, the service is not localized, usually host does not have a dedicated Chinese customer service, because of jet lag reason, the United States during the day is just China's night, the same exchange of communication, the cost of international calls are also high, by mail to require owners Proficiency in English, through English and customer service communication, foreign host web services and interfaces are usually English, if the domestic webmaster in English is not good, you may encounter a language barrier.

4, payment, foreign host payments usually require credit cards and Paypal, most do not support Alipay, so domestic users often have trouble paying when buying foreign host.

To sum up, foreign hosts and domestic hosts still have their own advantages and disadvantages. For the websites mainly serving Chinese users, the use of domestic hosts does have a slight advantage. Even if the trouble is at least the domain name is safe, if the website The content is in English, the main service to foreign users, such as foreign trade type of website, it is more appropriate to use foreign host.
