Commonly used systems for cloud servers are: Windows and Linux. The actual system to choose depends on the application development language and personal habits. Let's first understand the difference between these two operating systems, so as to better choose the cloud server system.

Windows system

In terms of ease of use, the simple graphical operation interface and easy-to-learn operation methods of Windows greatly reduce the user's learning cost, because the usage habits are basically similar to the home system.

But for the server, I want to use Windows, which has certain requirements on the hardware and lacks stability, especially when the WEB server is used, it cannot accept the huge core traffic.

Therefore, Windows is generally used for low-end servers.

Linux system

The biggest feature of Linuxs is open source. Due to the open source code, there are few loopholes, the authority mechanism is perfect, it is not easy to damage the system, and the security and stability are also very good.

Many organizations looking for stability and security put Linux as their system of choice, which is often used in mid-to-high-end servers. Linux is very powerful and stable, but because most of it is operated by instructions, many beginners cannot master it, and it is difficult to start, so there are fewer users.

How to choose the right system for cloud server?

First of all, we should choose a cloud server that can provide multi-system support.

Now, many cloud service providers in Hong Kong only supply linux system equipment to save costs, so it is still recommended to use multi-system support cloud service providers when choosing a server. In addition, when choosing a system, not only need to consider usage habits, but also comprehensive Generally speaking, Windows recommends some customers who do not know much about the skills and relatively high server equipment. On the contrary, it is recommended to use Linux!
