Selection of Tencent Cloud standard S5 and Alibaba Cloud computing c5

To sum up, these two servers are not very different, and their performance is almost the same. If you want to choose one from the other, you can only start from the price.

From the price comparison between the two, take the 2-core 4G1M bandwidth as an example, Tencent Cloud Standard s5 Product Purchase Page The price of is a little more expensive, and this server rarely participates in activities;

Alibaba Cloud computing c5 often participates Alibaba Cloud · Cloud Xiaozhan promotional activities The price can be about 30% cheaper.

So if the configuration is the same and the price is the same, you can choose whichever is cheaper.
