Due to business needs, we may not be able to meet the business needs of ordinary Hong Kong ECS, so we will choose bare gold ECS or physical servers. Relatively speaking, the bare metal server is better than the physical server. The physical server is a traditional independent server in the past, while the bare metal server is now better in cloud security and load.
What factors will we consider when we choose Hong Kong physical servers?
1. Data center machine room
We should know that most of the Hong Kong servers provided by IDC merchants are hosted in third-party computer rooms. Due to the different environments and facilities of computer rooms, the rental costs are different. Generally, the higher the rental costs of better computer rooms are. If we want to choose Hong Kong servers, the stability of the computer room is more important. We need to choose the computer room and choose the line CN2 optimized at the same time, so that the Chinese business speed is good.
2. Server hardware configuration
Here, when we choose Hong Kong servers, the price is different according to different configurations. What we need to consider is not only the cost comparison, but also the configuration. For example, the configuration mainly includes CPU model, hard disk, memory, traffic, etc. The monthly price of different configurations is also different. Although the cost of hardware is not high today, there are still some differences.
3. Bandwidth network differences
We should know that the cost of servers in Hong Kong is not hardware, but bandwidth. We see that ECS starts with 1M bandwidth, but we need at least 5M-100M bandwidth for physical servers. The bandwidth of most Hong Kong servers is 5M, 10M, 20M and other basic configurations. If you want to upgrade more bandwidth, you need to pay extra, which may be a big burden for individual webmasters. At the same time, the network is also very important. The data center mentioned above. The cost of CN2 optimized lines is higher than that of international lines.
4. Number of IP
Generally, the servers in Hong Kong that we may see are one independent IP address, or some are three independent IP addresses. We can also add new IP addresses as needed to achieve cluster servers. After all, the physical server configuration in Hong Kong is large. We can consider adding multiple IP addresses and then allocating them to multiple projects.
Recommended vendors for Hong Kong physical servers:
Here, according to the Hong Kong physical server vendors we have seen and used before, we can choose if we need to.
1. BlueHost Hong Kong server
If we had chosen an overseas virtual host in the early years, we would have used or seen someone else use a BlueHost blue host. Due to the need of building foreign trade stations, we need to choose overseas host companies. At that time, the relative cost performance ratio of overseas host companies was much higher than that of domestic companies, so there were many well-known host companies, such as BlueHost, JustHost, HostMonster, IXWEBHOSTING, etc.
With the change of market vendors and user needs, many host vendors have increased from a single virtual host product to VPS ECS, independent servers and cluster servers. BlueHost merchants we are familiar with also have adjusted their products. They currently manage Chinese sites and international sites separately, such as adding traditional virtual hosts to Hong Kong, the United States, India and Europe. There are also cloud virtual machine rooms in the United States, as well as independent servers, VPS cloud servers, station cluster servers, etc.

How about Megalayer merchant's Hong Kong server? Megalayer provides Hong Kong servers with three network lines to choose from, namely, mainland optimization (CN2), omnidirectional bandwidth (suitable for services in mainland China) and international BGP (suitable for European services). Hong Kong servers have three independent IP addresses by default, 10M optimized bandwidth does not limit traffic, 240GB SSD solid state disk, and 8GB default memory.
3. RAKsmart Hong Kong server
Physical servers and bare metal ECS, or bare metal servers, are required for medium and large businesses. The RAKsmart service provider also provides a Hong Kong computer room. It uses a high-quality network with 10M bandwidth and 32GB memory configuration. If you need it, you can see that the speed is relatively stable. The default is one independent IP address, and we can increase it to 64 IP addresses as needed.

To sum up, Hong Kong physical servers are more suitable for friends with medium and large business needs. If we need them, we can refer to them.
