What are the advantages and disadvantages of web hosting over server rental?

Advantages of Web Hosting:

1. The construction input cost has been greatly reduced.

2. Managed hosting, with professional hardware firewall and special maintenance, can reduce energy, save time and effort.

3. Network virtualization improves speed and management automation.

Disadvantages of Web Hosting:

1. In order to save maintenance costs and security considerations, server rental operators will impose some restrictions on the functions of some web servers.

2. Rent a server host to choose the right one: the server host will install different web server software and databases for different customers' hosts. Some hosts only support PHP and MySQL, some only support ASP and Access, and some only support MSSQL.

It is recommended that when buying a host, you must choose a reasonable web host that supports you**.

3. Slow browsing speed. The main thing is the rented server, which is a part of the host server, so if you rent more, the server where you are located will inevitably be slow.

5. Network virtualization may weaken security and manageability. Virtualization administrators often manage virtual machines, which can create friction with network administrators because they no longer control a certain part of the network (the part within the host), and a large amount of traffic between virtual machines on the same host is inside the host rather than through the physical network, making it difficult and less secure to monitor traffic with traditional devices.

Let me make a more formal analogy, you share a house with 100 people. The difference between living alone in a villa.

The virtual machine is not safe** too much. Too many have leaks. And if the violating information is confiscated, you will also be affected.

Web Hosting: Cheap and low-cost.

Server: Yes is more expensive than web hosting, but the carrying capacity is stronger.

Each has its own advantages.

Web hosting is a part of the space divided from the server, which is cheap, suitable for small and medium-sized construction, and is available to webmasters with a small budget.

Server rental hosting is two different things, one rental cost + hosting cost, **expensive, suitable for large**, webmasters with a large budget are available. And it's not as limited as web hosting, and it's faster than hosting because it's exclusive. However, to do your own safety, it is recommended to be used by experienced webmasters.

Web Hosting: Cheap, low-cost, and suitable for sites that don't take up bandwidth, don't take up too many resources, and have little traffic.

Environments are all assigned by default, and users can only place which types of sites they can place if they support any environment.

Share one IP with multiple users. There isn't much security.

And there are independent administrative rights. It can place multiple sites, install independent systems, and configure various environments.

Advantages compared with self-built computer rooms: 1. Greatly reduce costs, including the time investment in the early stage of self-built computer rooms and the time investment of operation and maintenance personnel in the later stage. 2. Improve the stability rate of server operation and prolong the service life.

Generally speaking, the design standards of the computer room of IDC service providers are relatively high, which can ensure that the machine is in good running condition.

Compared to server rental, the advantages of pure hosting are not obvious. If you choose to host, you generally have relevant technical personnel, and you tend to purchase the machine yourself and grasp the configuration. But the disadvantage is obvious, after the machine failure, because the IDC service provider is not responsible for the hardware warranty, so the recovery time is uncertain.

If you rent, the IDC service provider supports ** and provides warranty services, but the problem is that you need to choose a standardized IDC service provider to ensure that the ** machine has not been replaced for any reason. Therefore, if you already have a server, but lack the relevant operating conditions, including working environment and operation and maintenance conditions, you can choose hosting.

Server hosting

Server hosting is that customers buy server hardware by themselves, and then put the server they purchased into the IDC computer room, which provides a stable network environment and daily maintenance, and the general daily maintenance includes restarting, redoing the system, installing some commonly used application software, etc. The cost of server hosting is determined by the size of the bandwidth and the specifications of the server.

Among them, the size of bandwidth accounts for a large proportion; The server specification is also the thickness, and the machine with a large thickness not only consumes more power, but more importantly, it occupies an extra seat, therefore, this extra seat also has to charge a certain seat fee, so it is recommended that when you buy a machine to host, try to choose a rack-type machine, so that it is more economical to host.

Server rental

You don't need to buy a separate machine for a server rental, you just need to tell the IDC provider about your hardware and bandwidth requirements, and they will prepare the hardware and then configure the machine. For users who do not understand server hardware, this service is generally chosen, which can prevent hardware problems that cannot be handled during the hosting period in the later stage.

Of course, during the rental period, once there is a problem with the hardware, the IDC provider also needs to bear certain risks. In addition, in this kind of rental business, the machine does not belong to the customer, and after the lease expires, the customer can choose to continue to rent or choose not to use it again.

What is the difference between server hosting and server rental?

Performance and expansion: Server rental is a fixed model product provided by IDC, and there is not much room for upgrade. Server hosting, on the other hand, is entirely up to the user's discretion.

Security: Choosing a server hosting requires the user to set it up, which is relatively safe and secure.

User investment: Because server hosting requires users to configure the server by themselves, purchase corresponding accessories, and deal with host failures and problems, it is relatively important to invest more energy. The server rental is to use the host provided by the IDC provider, and the server settings and failures are solved by the IDC provider.

Ease of use: The server is simple and convenient to rent, and users sign a contract and use it immediately after buying.

**: The rental service is configured and managed by the IDC merchant on the server, so generally speaking, the rental service is higher than the server hosting.

Advantages:

Generally speaking, for enterprises with a large number of computer rooms, they can choose to rent a server; The distance is relatively close, and it is recommended to choose server hosting.

In addition, if you are doing your own OA system or internal data, you can consider server hosting. Specifically, it should be analyzed according to your actual situation. However, whether it is to choose server hosting or rental, enterprises should choose according to their own business development and needs, and do not blindly follow, after all, low cost and high efficiency are crucial for the development of enterprises.

Rental means that the IDC merchant provides the machine and daily maintenance to be taken care of, and the hosting means that the customer buys the machine by himself, and needs to manage it by himself except for simple things.

Server rental is the service provider provides the server, and the server trustee provides the server by itself. Except for server ownership, everything else is pretty much the same. Rental advantage, in case there is a problem with the server hardware, the service provider will solve it. Hosting needs to be solved by yourself.

Server rental is managed and maintained by yourself, and server hosting is maintained by others, and the rental advantage is large.

Server rental is more convenient to maintain, hosting is to consign the server to the computer room, or rent more convenient, problems can be solved by the service provider, you can consult the customer service staff of China Huiwang, many rent servers there!

If there are 10 customers who choose to rent a server, not necessarily one customer will choose a server hosting ......That's the truth. China's e-motion network provides a basis

**Construction is no longer an uncommon thing, whether to buy or rent a server is a headache for many people, although on the surface it is just a simple choice, but it often makes people entangled. Here's an overview of the advantages of renting a server:

1.Ready-to-use. Users can rent server space, and can purchase according to their own needs, and can choose not to buy when the demand is relatively simple, without generating any hardware garbage, and users can achieve instant use.

2.Buy cheaply, at a low price. For individual users and some small and medium-sized enterprise users, the number of visits is relatively small, and they do not need to buy their own servers to meet their needs, and may only need a little space of a server to meet the requirements.

3.Deployment is simple and convenient. To purchase your own server, you need to have your own professional technical personnel to deploy operating systems and software and other programs, while to rent a server, the professional and technical personnel of the service provider will give users hardware maintenance, network maintenance, installation of the most suitable system, trial adjustment of software programs, data transfer and exchange and other cumbersome technical work, saving a lot of deployment in the early stage.

Renting a server has its drawback, that is, it is not flexible enough. Since the needs of different users are not the same, it is possible that some users need to use special operating systems and software, which is not convenient to operate and control the server in the computer room.

We know that most of the servers need to be installed after buying, and then debugging and finally putting them in the IDC computer room, so it is relatively easier to rent the server in the IDC computer room directly.

Now, with the reduction of server costs, most professional customers and large customers have switched to the method of purchasing equipment by themselves and then taking it to hosting, because the advantages of self-procurement are more obvious.

The high-end server configuration is basically not much different, and the unstable server directly leads to access problems, which cannot be opened or opens slowly, which will affect the user's experience.

When choosing a server, you first have to figure out what you're renting a server for, whether it's playing ** or playing games, so you know what type of server you need.

To be clear about the server configuration you need in order to estimate, in terms of high servers, expensive servers, cheap servers are worried about shoddy, and it is really difficult to grasp the degree in between. It is necessary to choose a reputable and qualified service provider in China, so that whether it is pre-sales consultation or after-sales service, it will be guaranteed.
