Over the years, many webmasters have begun to choose to rent Hong Kong servers. Hong Kong not only has a unique geographical location and rich network resources, but also is relatively close to the mainland, so it is fast and free of filing. However, the bandwidth prices of servers in Hong Kong vary greatly. Why? Here is a detailed introduction for you.

Different types of bandwidth for Hong Kong servers

1. cn2 is directly connected to the Chinese backbone network

The cn2 network line provided by China Telecom does not need to bypass the international network, and directly enters through three domestic network entrances. Because it provides a line from Hong Kong to the mainland, the transmission speed of cn2 is also the fastest. Therefore, the cn2 line is also the most expensive in Hong Kong server bandwidth. China Telecom's cn2 next-generation backbone network is 100% directly connected to the country's bandwidth, and can carry voice, data, video, global interconnection and other services at the same time. The cn2 bandwidth of the Hong Kong server is directly connected to the domestic backbone network, which is owned by a high-quality computer room in Hong Kong. Because cn2 is directly connected to the country, there are fewer nodes and less line loss, the domestic access is relatively stable, and the access cost is high, so it is suitable for domestic enterprise customers.

2. Directly connect to the MAN

This type of bandwidth line will detour to Taiwan or South Korea, and then connect to the international bandwidth of the port computer room of the nearby MAN computer room. This connection method is cheap. But the disadvantage is that the access speed of the area connected to the MAN is acceptable, and the access speed of other areas is indeed much slower, so the overall access is uncoordinated. The more nodes, the longer the latency and the lower the bandwidth stability.

3. Pure international routes

The Hong Kong server has a pure international bandwidth line, which means that there is no shortcut to your network. I can only honestly take a long detour back to my country, so the internet speed is relatively slow and the price is relatively cheap. Of course, most service providers who want to control costs will basically adopt this method.

4. Local line bandwidth

The local line bandwidth of the Hong Kong server can only meet local access requirements, and access to other regions is basically inaccessible. Therefore, if mainland or overseas companies choose to rent or host Hong Kong servers, they need to consider international bandwidth if it involves international bandwidth. At present, the price of local bandwidth is very cheap, while the cost of international bandwidth is relatively high. The price difference between local bandwidth and international bandwidth is obvious, so those operators or agents who claim to rent a server in Hong Kong at a low price often choose cheap local broadband. In this way, even if the Hong Kong server is hosted in Hong Kong, the access speed of websites across the country is still very slow, resulting in the loss of a large number of corporate customers.

The above four types of bandwidth of the Hong Kong server. The price of each bandwidth is definitely different, so the webmaster should also pay attention to the choice of bandwidth when choosing a Hong Kong server.
