What is ECS 、 What is the php panel ？ What is their relationship? Weiaisi Blog often hears such questions. If you want to build a blog, website, or business, you need to touch the terms, concepts, and practical operations of cloud servers and php panels. Old birds don't need to say that novices are really preliminary and must understand its role and how to use it. Weieis blog has always been aimed at driving the operation and maintenance of novice entry servers, so it has been unremittingly popularizing this knowledge since the establishment of the blog. This article mainly focuses on the content of cloud servers, php panels and their relationships.
You should have a basic understanding of the server and the php panel. A group of friends once asked Mr. Wei to tell him that the pagoda panel on AliCloud could not be logged in with port 8888. After Mr. Wei's prompt, he found that he had not installed the pagoda panel at all. Maybe he thought Alibaba Cloud bought the pagoda panel by default. Let's return to the topic and begin to explain the related terms in detail.
1、 ECS
1. ECS
It is a space for storing website programs, databases, pictures, videos and documents. ECS is also called virtual machine, VPS. Generally speaking, these terms refer to ECS. Now, in order to save energy and cost, respond to the national environmental protection goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, and improve the efficiency of server use, host merchants use virtual technology to create a lot of available space for the server and rent it to users, that is, the ECS we usually buy (buy the right to use in a unit of time).
You will see that the Baiyun server is just a virtual server in the hardware server. Depending on the configuration, there are different CPU cores, memory, hard disk size, bandwidth, etc. Businesses reduce costs by virtualizing multiple ECS servers in the hardware server. Virtual technology can save the number of servers, and the cost also promotes energy conservation accordingly. Users can also buy cost-effective ECS servers at a low price to get what they need.
The advantage of ECS is that it can be bought and used immediately, and the configuration can be upgraded according to business needs, without the need to move the website. At the same time, many new technologies attached to ECS can also be "plug and play", which is very convenient. At the same time, ECS itself has multiple backup functions to automatically back up data and ensure security of 99.9999% (domestic Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud and other large businesses can achieve four nines), which is many times better than previous hardware servers.
Lao Wei suggested that although ECS has a high security and backup mechanism, your data must be backed up regularly, and you can only be assured that your data is in your hands.
2. Introduction to domestic cloud service merchants
Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud have a high market share in China. Among them, Alibaba Cloud started earlier, and Tencent Cloud has followed. There are too many small businesses like Baidu Cloud, Huawei Cloud, JD Cloud, Bird Cloud and so on, and the technology is not mature enough. Alibaba Cloud has many years of practical experience in e-commerce, and Tencent Cloud has many years of training in social software. The experience, technology and experience of these two companies in cloud servers are unmatched in China.
Alibaba Cloud National Cloud Computing Specification Configuration Price
There are two configurations: entry-level and performance balanced. Alibaba Cloud calls an ECS instance. Lao Wei mentioned an instance here, which means that an ECS with a certain configuration is called differently.
1. Entry level configurations include 1 core 1G, 1 core 2G, and 2 core 4G:
The entry-level configuration is cheap, and is mainly applicable to learning experience, testing code, and businesses that consume less resources. Those who do not know how to optimize the server and reduce system consumption should not be greedy. For details, please move to Alibaba Cloud t5 instance with burst performance should be carefully used for long-term site establishment and Windows remote desktop 。
The performance balancing configuration is divided into 1 core 1G, 1 core 2G, 2 core 4G, and 4 core 8G:
If you use it to build personal blogs, websites, lightweight apps, applets, micro engines, etc., it is recommended to choose from the above shared servers and computing network enhanced servers. The principle of "one price, one goods" is more vividly reflected in cloud products.
2. Tencent ECS
Tencent ECS is a domestic cloud computing business on a par with Alibaba Cloud Server. No matter stability or speed, it is also first-class in China. Weieis blog is on Tencent ECS.
The price performance ratio of Tencent ECS is significantly higher than that of Alibaba Cloud Server.
The following is Tencent ECS 30% discount.

2、 Php panel
Php environment is a kind of environment package commonly used when building server environment. Make an analogy to help you understand the meaning. If ECS is a factory building, then the server environment is the production process of the workshop. The same product can be produced by process A or process B. The cost, quality and time of the same product produced by different processes are different. You can think of process A and process B as php environment and asp environment respectively. Our common server environments are the php environment and the asp environment. In addition, the jsp environment will not be mentioned for the moment.
The php environment can make more effective use of the maximum resources of the server, with high efficiency and security. Asp environment is not as good as php environment because of the low working efficiency and high resource occupancy of windows system. The factory produces the same product. Of course, the lower the cost, the better, and the higher the quality, the better. The php environment is in line with this situation. So Lao Wei suggests that you use the php environment.
I see many novices back off: I heard that the PHP environment requires manual code input line by line, but I don't know! What Wei wants to say is that the current php environment is configured using the php panel, which is much more advanced than the previous manual code tapping. For example, for the commonly used pagoda panel in China, you can quickly install the php environment by manually entering a line of code. The pagoda panel is a fully visual panel. We only need to add a host and database to the pagoda panel console, optimize and secure them, and install website programs. There are many step by step teaching contents of pagoda panel in Weieis blog. You can search and find them, or you can join the QQ group in the upper right corner of the page to ask questions.
3、 Use ECS and php panels to build websites
With ECS, you can build a pagoda panel, and use WordPress programs to quickly build a website. With a website, you can fill in content, add small programs, micro engine and other programs, and the rest is to run business. In a word, the operation of this step also takes 2 hours. In addition, there are a series of work such as server optimization and security, which can be done later.
That's all about ECS, PHP panel and their associations. These are the most basic theoretical knowledge to help you understand this knowledge and get a quick start. In practice, you can search the Weieis blog. There are many contents that have been written.
