The virtual space is based on overseas cloud servers and independent servers. The resources of independent servers and overseas cloud servers are relatively loose. However, the entry -level personal and corporate websites, including foreign trade websites, still have some choices. The use of overseas cloud servers requires certain skills. Basic technologies of virtual hosting are provided by service providers.
The differences and characteristics of overseas cloud servers and virtual hosts;
1. Technical principle
The overseas cloud server is based on a huge server resource pool. It is a virtual part of several independent hosts on a cluster host. Each host in the cluster has an image of overseas cloud servers; virtual hosts are part of the server, so they are also called virtual spaces. In the server, a certain disk space is divided to place web program components and provide data storage and transmission functions.
2. Available resources
Overseas cloud servers are exclusive resources, with independent CPUs, memory, hard disks and IPs. Virtual hosting is a resource for many websites to share a physical server.
3. Host cost
Virtual hosting is cheaper than overseas cloud servers. You can buy an entry -level virtual space without having too much budget costs.
4. Environmental deployment
Overseas cloud server leasing requires manual configuration environment to build its own application at will; virtual hosts do not need to configure the environment, so software cannot be installed at will. The environment is configured by the merchant and uses the existing system.
5. Server management
Overseas cloud servers can log in to the desktop management remotely, with concentrated remote management platforms; virtual hosts can only be managed through FTP or control panels and cannot log in remotely.
