The development of cloud computing in China is becoming more and more popular. Cloud computing -based cloud servers have gradually been loved by enterprises and webmasters, making the cloud server competition between traditional virtual hosting. what differences are there?
Before the cloud computing started in China, most individual webmasters and SME websites choose virtual hosts, and virtual hosting is actually using virtual technology to divide a server into multiple "virtual" hosts and divide them out. A single host has an independent domain name and a perfect Internet server function, but each virtual host is shared server resources, including bandwidth and IP. Many hosts shared server bandwidth and IP naturally do not have a separate server performance, but the usage rate of virtual hosting is still very high because it is compared to the cost of buying servers and rental lines. The price of virtual machines is cheap and simple operation. The virtual host generally does not have an independent operating system, only operates through the control panel.
The cloud server is also known as the cloud host. It is divided on a group of cluster servers. Each host divided into an independent host has an independent bandwidth and IP, and the host authority is liberalized. Users can according to the needs according to the needs. It is the most obvious advantage of the cloud host to install various operating systems and the corresponding operating environment, purchased on demand, and flexibly upgrade.
In terms of storage and backup, the cloud server does not backup on a single server like a virtual host, but uses distributed storage and multiple backups. Even if a server problem occurs, it will not affect other uses. High nature.
From the concept of the above cloud server and virtual machine hosts, it can be seen that the cloud server is stronger than the virtual host in terms of performance and security. Although the price of the cloud hosting is slightly higher than the virtual host, it is very secure in terms of stability, speed and security. This is the problem that the company and webmaster choose the host server.
