Here we do not study its business model, but provide appropriate ECS configurations, regions, etc. to match the requirements according to these business requirements.

There are hardly too many merchants who need to send packages on behalf of others. From the business requirements described above, first of all, they need to be stable and fast. Therefore, exclusive ECS should be used. The front pages are all about industry information, text tutorials, etc. The main content has been put in the background. This involves the database content. In order to improve user access speed, the default bandwidth cannot be 1M, but 2M~5M bandwidth is required. CDN acceleration function should also be used to speed up and resist some primary DDos attacks and CC attacks.

2、 ECS selection for empty package delivery network

For domestic businesses that can meet these needs, Lao Wei recommends Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud. These two businesses are the largest in terms of cloud services in China. Both experience and technology are mature.

1. Alibaba Cloud enterprise servers provide fast and stable services for such large-scale businesses. If you are just starting this kind of website, it is recommended to choose a 2-core 4G memory server or a 2-core 8G memory server, with a bandwidth of 3M or 5M. This kind of enterprise server is so cheap that it can be used by new users for the first time. If you buy it again before, you can't get the price in the table. So Lao Wei strongly recommends that you configure enough at one time. Don't wait for the price to be high when the configuration is upgraded later.

This is the most cost-effective way.

2. Tencent ECS

Tencent ECS is carrying out the "three fold" activity of cloud products, and the lowest price is from ECS to cloud database.

The configuration specifications will not be posted here. There are two different types, standard type and computational type, as shown in the figure below. The standard model meets the needs of most websites and businesses, with high cost performance; The computing type is prepared for large, medium and large businesses, and can provide high computing, high concurrent read and write and other performance. Prices were also raised.

For example, the standard type can be selected for such businesses as the empty package delivery website, and the bandwidth can be 2M or 5M.

Tencent Cloud's 30% discount server can be purchased by both new and old users, which is much better than Alibaba Cloud.

There are also cloud databases on the same page, and you can choose freely. Unless the business background is often obviously stuck, it is rare that independent cloud databases cannot be used. This is only an alternative.

3. The 2-core 4G memory server can serve tens of thousands of visitors every day, and the 2-core 8G memory server can serve about 100000 visitors every day. It is important to select the appropriate server in advance according to the speed of business development. But don't be afraid if the future business development speed exceeds your expectations. Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud both provide elastic upgrade services. They can upgrade configurations without moving, which is fast and stable.

4. CDN acceleration function must be used, which is strongly recommended by Lao Wei. This reason has been repeatedly emphasized in previous articles, but many people still don't take it to heart. Compared with ECS, it doesn't cost much, but its importance is not bad at all.
