Newbies generally do not have high requirements for cloud server configuration. They mainly want to learn and build some simple applications. Stability should be the main consideration. The second is the choice of configuration. Configuration choices include CPU, memory, broadband, cloud disk, and operating system. Region etc.
1. CPU
CPU is a key element of the server, which symbolizes the computing power of the cloud server. The better the performance of the CPU, the higher the ability to process the website. Therefore, novices should consider the specific situation when choosing. For ordinary enterprises, it is best to consider the specific situation. If it is an official website or a personal website, it is very likely that there will not be many visitors, so you can choose a 1-core or 2-core CPU. If it is a large community forum or a web game, not only will there be more visitors, but it may also generate There are a lot of data requests, so 4 cores + should be given priority when choosing.
2. Memory
Memory is a transfer station for data, and it is also an important factor that depends on the opening speed of the website. The larger the memory, the larger the available cache, and the faster the opening speed. Choose the appropriate space according to the size of your website. If it is a general personal blog website or a corporate display website, you can choose a smaller one. If it is a shopping mall, the news category needs to be relatively larger.
3. Hard drive
We know that the hard disk is where data is stored. The size of the hard disk should be determined according to the data size of the website. The remaining space should be taken into consideration when choosing. In addition, the I/O reading speed of the hard disk directly determines the speed of file reading. The reading speed of the cloud server hard disk is much faster than that of other websites, and is generally sufficient, so just choose the default one.
4. Bandwidth
We can choose the appropriate bandwidth based on the nature of our website, such as website type, structure, traffic and other indicators or estimates. Generally speaking, new websites do not have many pictures and cannot be processed. 2M is enough, as long as the bandwidth It is real, you don’t need too much, just enough. If it is an ordinary website, such as text, pictures, forums, etc., the bandwidth occupied is very small, and 5.000 visits may occupy less than 2M of bandwidth. If it is a website focusing on videos, downloads, etc., it may have hundreds of visitors. Being online at the same time requires more than 10M of bandwidth.
5. Operating system
The choice of operating system is related to the person's familiarity and the specific situation of the website. Choose which operating system you know more about. In addition, Windows system has better support for ASP system, but it takes up more storage, while Linux system does not support PHP. The system is more friendly and saves memory, and some programs may only support each operating system.
6. Region/Node
As we all know, there will be a certain amount of loss during network transmission. If the server node is closer to your target customer group and business location, the faster your website will be accessed. Therefore, the principle of choosing a cloud server region is to try to choose the geographical node closest to your users.
