There are various types of servers for website construction, including physical servers, cloud servers, vps, virtual hosts, etc. In the early stage of website construction, users can consider using vps or virtual hosts. After the website traffic increases, choose cloud servers or servers according to the situation. is a physical server. Today, the editor will briefly introduce to you the difference between a cloud server and a virtual host.

  Cloud Server:

The cloud server is a part that virtualizes multiple independent servers on a group of cluster servers. Each server in the cluster has a mirror image of the cloud server, which greatly improves the security and stability of the virtual server, unless all servers in the cluster If all problems occur, the cloud server will be inaccessible.

Cloud hosting service is an important part of cloud computing services, and it is a service platform that provides comprehensive business capabilities for various Internet users. The platform integrates the three core elements of Internet applications in the traditional sense: computing, storage, and network, and provides public Internet infrastructure services for users. Cloud hosting services include two core products: cloud server rental services for SME users and high-end individual users; elastic computing platform services for large and medium-sized Internet users.

Virtual host:

Virtual hosting or shared hosting, also known as virtual server, is a method of realizing multi-domain services on a single host or a host group, and a technology that can run multiple websites or services. The virtual hosts are completely independent and can be managed by users themselves. Virtual does not mean non-existence, but means that the space is extended from physical servers, and its hardware system can be based on server farms or a single server.

Its technology is a technology used by Internet servers to save server hardware costs. Virtual host technology is mainly used in multiple services such as HTTP, FTP, and EMAIL. It logically divides a certain or all service content of a server into multiple service units. It is manifested as multiple servers, so as to make full use of server hardware resources. If the division is at the system level, it is called a virtual server.

Compared with virtual hosts, cloud servers have three aspects of elasticity in practical applications:

1. Host service configuration and business scale can be configured according to user needs, and can be adjusted flexibly.

2. The host service requested by the user can be quickly provisioned and deployed, and elastic scalability within the cluster is realized.

3. The billing method is flexible, the user does not need to pay a deposit, and there are various payment methods for the user to choose.
