The US server is a high-performance computer. As a node of the network, it can store and process 80% of the data and information on the network. Currently, there are two types of US servers on the market: renting and hosting. So what is the difference between them?

US server rental:

The leasing business means that the IDC service provider provides the relevant US server hardware and network environment. Users only need to rent it from the IDC provider to use it. Generally, leasing is divided into monthly, quarterly, annual or even longer periods of time. If you don’t know about IDC providers, the editor suggests that you can rent a US server first. If the network environment is good and the after-sales service is also in place, you can consider quarterly or annual rent, and generally the longer the lease time, the greater the discount.

US server hosting:

In the US server hosting business, the user provides server hardware, such as a 1U server, and then expresses the US server hardware to the computer room where the IDC service provider is located, and the IDC server provider provides the seat and network bandwidth.

The difference between leasing and server hosting:

For leasing, the US server hardware and network environment are provided by the IDC service provider. For hosting, the US server hardware is provided by the user himself, and the network environment is provided by the IDC service provider. Generally, the cost of server hosting in the United States is lower than that of leasing services. IDC service providers only charge a seat fee and a certain bandwidth fee, but users need to purchase hardware first.
