As a webmaster, 99.9% of the time when we started learning to build a website were shared virtual hosts. The advantage of virtual hosts is that we can quickly build websites and manage websites directly in the panel. However, with the needs of the website and our pursuit of more perfect performance requirements, we will gradually choose VPS host products as our website storage.
What is the difference between a virtual host and a VPS host? What kind of host is our website suitable for?
First, according to your own needs. The choice of virtual host or VPS is based on our own capabilities and the needs of the website. For example, if we can't tamper with VPS, we can temporarily use virtual hosts. Virtual hosts are also divided into different types, including different hard disk sizes, traffic restrictions and CPU occupancy parameters. Some websites with thousands and tens of thousands of visitors are also virtual hosts. If we can't tamper with VPS, we'd better use the host first and use it later. Never use it while learning, which will delay things. There is no need to use VPS for small websites, which wastes money.
Second, performance ratio. The virtual host is not necessarily much worse than VPS. Sometimes it is even better. We don't want to see that the price of some VPS vendors is only a few tens of yuan, which is cheaper than the virtual host. It is also worth noting that the virtual host does not purchase independent IP, which is not worth VPS. In fact, VPS is not necessarily the cheapest but the best. Lao Zuo is in“ How much VPS price is acceptable "I briefly stated my opinion on the price of VPS. Some friends really play hard at low prices.
Third, VPS is the trend. No matter the cost reduction or the needs of our website, VPS is definitely our future demand direction. We can learn VPS together with Lao Zuo when we use the virtual host, so that we will not worry about VPS management or anything else in the future. Therefore, if the virtual host is enough for the time being, we should first use the virtual host to do a good job of the website before thinking about other things.
In a word, Lao Zuo also concluded that there was a shortage of words here. Then stop writing.
