Many of our users are accustomed to calling Hong Kong cloud servers, Hong Kong vps, Hong Kong virtual hosts, and Hong Kong physical servers Hong Kong servers, but generally Hong Kong servers only mean Hong Kong physical servers, and physical servers and cloud servers are different products. There is also a big difference. Next, let’s talk about the difference between a Hong Kong physical server and a Hong Kong cloud server.

The difference between Hong Kong physical server and Hong Kong cloud server:

1. Principle:

A server and a cloud server are not the same concept. There is an essential difference between physical and virtual.

2. Performance:

In terms of server performance, Hong Kong physical servers are better, such as the exclusiveness of server configuration. Once the server configuration is set, it will not be affected by other effects during use, but cloud servers will not, because the overall resources are shared , so when traffic increases, performance will be affected.

However, the Hong Kong cloud server can flexibly expand and configure resources, and the website will not be affected at the same time. Once the physical server in Hong Kong needs to expand the configuration, it needs to be shut down to add physical hardware devices, such as memory, CPU processor, etc., and the website will not be accessible.

3. Cost:

The cost of physical servers in Hong Kong and cloud servers in Hong Kong is very different. Physical servers need to invest in physical hardware costs, hosting costs (including computer room space, maintenance, network resources such as lines, bandwidth), and rental prices generally start at several hundred. Cloud servers only It can be used at a purchase cost, so it only costs more than a dozen, tens, or more than a hundred.

4. Security:

The Hong Kong physical server pays more attention to the security of programs and data, and supports the construction of the enterprise's intranet, with higher privacy; although the Hong Kong cloud server is divided into server clusters, it can well ensure the stability and security of data and programs Also very high. For comparison, the security is not as good as that of Hong Kong physical servers (higher exclusiveness).

5. Application:

Hong Kong physical servers are more suitable for medium and large enterprises, or enterprise applications that pay more attention to data security. In terms of applications, they are suitable for various industries and can meet the different needs of enterprises; Hong Kong cloud servers are more suitable for small and medium enterprises, webmasters with low budgets Use, different configurations can also meet the needs of users at different stages, and are also suitable for various industries.

For individual users, the difference between the two lies in cost performance; for enterprise users, the difference lies in the difference in security and requirements. In addition to the servers in Hong Kong, there are also high-defense servers, which can also meet the special needs of users and help users resist network attacks.
