In addition to selecting its CPU, memory, hard disk, bandwidth, etc. when choosing configuration, you can also choose the required operating system. Under normal circumstances, the systems provided by Hong Kong server service providers are generally divided into two categories, Linux and Windows systems. But many users don't know much about these two operating systems.

　　1. Operationability

　　Hong Kong server rental provides Windows Server system. In terms of operating, the popularity of the Windows system and its graphical interface believe that we will not be unfamiliar. The Linux system (including CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.) is controlled by pure command lines. Each operation is required, you need to use a series of commands to execute. In terms of operability, Linux operating is relatively more difficult. If the Hong Kong server is rented out, if you use the Linux system, you often need a professional Linux system administrator in your team to operate.

　　Second, safety

　　Compared with the number of security vulnerabilities, the development method of Linux can help find errors and solve problems in time, and the system patch is updated quickly. This is the advantage that Windows does not have. Linux also has its own shortcomings. Because the hardware and related drivers developed by manufacturers are generally mainly for the Windows system, which makes Linux's hardware compatibility relatively delay. When using the Hong Kong server to rent, Linux is used as an operating system that supports network functions. After the default is installed, many unnecessary applications will be activated, which will cause network vulnerabilities.

　　Third, demand

　　The so -called demand is first to look at the language selection of the website itself. When renting in Hong Kong server, you can build any language website system according to your business needs. If you choose an ASP website, you must choose the Windows system because Linux does not support ASP. If you use PHP speech sites, you can choose the linux system and use Linux+Apache+MySQL structure to run the PHP web pages to make it more stable and efficient.

　　Fourth, stability

　　The most important thing is of course stability, and stability is very important when selecting and using Hong Kong servers. This is related to the survival and development of the website. If the stability of the website is poor, it will directly affect user access and transformation, and it has a huge impact on user experience. Generally speaking, when using a Hong Kong server, Linux stability is better than Windows. Because linux open source vulnerabilities are less, this reduces the possibility of being attacked by the network. Furthermore, the Windows graphics interface needs to take up many resources, and Linux removes the graphics interface to make the system run faster.
