  There are two common Hong Kong servers on the market, one is a Hong Kong physical server and the other is a Hong Kong cloud server. These two products have their own advantages and disadvantages. Next, let's take a look at what a Hong Kong physical server is with JTTI operation and maintenance? How to choose a Hong Kong physical server and how much does it cost?
  1. What is a Hong Kong physical server?
  Hong Kong physical servers are also called dedicated servers. As the name suggests, they are real physical servers lying in the computer room. Dedicated servers are selected to meet customer needs. Because the client is independent on the server, they are granted a lot of disk space. The bandwidth speed depends on the way the client manages the server. Overloading or upgrading the server will be very slow.
  The word "physical" is to distinguish it from those "cloud hosts, virtual hosts". "Physical" means that the host is placed in your house, and "cloud host" means that the host is placed in the computer room. Therefore, the Hong Kong physical server is different from the computer we use in daily life. It is a dedicated computer that is turned on 24 hours a day. Generally speaking, the configuration of the server is much higher than that of an ordinary computer.
  The composition of Hong Kong physical servers includes processors, hard disks, memory, system buses, etc., which are similar to general computer architectures. However, due to the need to provide highly reliable services, they have higher requirements in terms of processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, manageability, etc.
  Compared to Hong Kong physical servers are virtual servers
  Using special software and hardware technologies, a computer host is divided into "virtual" hosts. Each virtual host has an independent domain name and IP address (or shared IP address) and has complete Internet server functions. On the same hardware and the same operating system, different server programs opened for multiple users are running without interfering with each other; and each user has his own part of the system resources (IP address, file storage space, memory, CPU time, etc.). The virtual hosts are completely independent. From the outside world's perspective, each virtual host and a physical server perform exactly the same.
  In other words, it is simple to understand that Hong Kong physical servers are computers, and Hong Kong virtual servers are virtual machines.
  II. How to choose a physical server
  1. Hong Kong physical server hardware
  You must obtain a powerful processor to ensure your online environment requirements. When choosing a hard drive for a server, most customers only look at the amount of hard drive storage (250GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc.). But you also need to consider the type of hard drive. The most commonly used are SATA HDDs. The fastest are SSDs, which do not have any mechanical devices/platters found in traditional SATA/SAS hard drives. Therefore, they run very fast and give you the best IOPs. However, as you may have guessed, they are the most expensive and smaller in size compared to SATA/SAS drives. Therefore, if your application performs a lot of random writes (databases/transactions), it is recommended to consider SSDs to get the best disk I/O results.
  Redundancy at the hard drive level must be considered. As we all know, any hard drive has the risk of unpredictable failure, so it is necessary to plan for it when deploying. You need to consider a RAID solution. A very basic RAID 1 solution requires you to have at least two hard drives, one of which is used for mirroring. Once your hard drive is lost or lost, you can still use the second hard drive to boot the server.
  Hard disk capacity is certainly a psychological issue. Unless you have a really large capacity demand, it is just like a computer hard disk. If you hold a 1T hard disk and actually use less than 100G, then it is better to choose an SSD hard disk. The speed that an SSD hard disk provides you every day is what you can experience. Traditional hard disks have nothing except capacity. If you can't use up the large capacity, it is useless.
  2. Hong Kong physical server network connection
  To ensure available redundancy, please make sure that your Hong Kong physical server rental service provider has multiple backbone lines from China, such as China Telecom, China Netcom, etc. Hong Kong physical server rental service providers using BGP network strategy can automatically monitor the quality of your network connection to ensure that your visitors can connect to your server as quickly as possible. In addition, if your customer base is mainly concentrated in China, it is strongly recommended to choose a Hong Kong physical server. Not to mention other fast or slow, any line in Hong Kong, even if it is connected to Telecom and Netcom, is faster than other overseas lines.
  3. Choose a service that supports 7*24 hours a day
  This is an area where most Hong Kong physical server rental IDC service providers lag behind, because the cost of deploying or hiring technicians to reside in the data center is very high. Independent local veteran server rental service providers have unique advantages. Most cloud server providers adopt a work order waiting mode, while Hong Kong physical servers are one-to-one services. This is the labor cost and also a relatively high cost of independent server prices!
