Netizen @ Edward wants to buy Alibaba Cloud servers to operate Amazon accounts. He asked Weieis about his blog. At the end, I hope Mr. Wei will summarize what kind of Windows server is suitable for this project, and what should be paid attention to during the operation. It happened that Mr. Wei's friend was operating Ebay and Amazon projects, and he was lucky to learn a little about it. In combination with Mr. Wei's server operation and maintenance knowledge, this article will talk about the relevant content in detail.
Ebay and Amazon believe that everyone is familiar with them. They have never bought anything, or at least heard of it. They are all large-scale online C2C e-commerce shopping websites abroad, and their status is about the same as that of JD, Taobao and Tmall in China. The combination of the server knowledge that Lao Wei came into contact with and the experience of foreign online e-commerce can really solve the problem of one team operating multiple accounts. Because the content involved in this issue is relatively miscellaneous, this article will not only talk about one core content, but will talk about as much as it involves. As long as you are in this business, you can learn a little more or less.
1、 Why buy servers
1. According to what Lao Wei learned, both eBay and Amazon use the domestic ID card information to register the seller's account, so eBay and Amazon have strict requirements for one ID information. It is prohibited for one person to operate multiple accounts at the same time, and if found, they will be unconditionally blocked. And this identity information can no longer be used. So in order to avoid suspicion, we need to purchase ECS and use different IP and network card information to avoid this check.
2. If you use a foreign identity to register an account, it seems reasonable to purchase a foreign Windows server for remote desktop connection. But you must choose a fast one. Lao Wei Recommends Candy Host（ Click me to open the official website ）In it, there is Windows, and the Chinese American direct connection host is very fast. Later, I will write a host tutorial in this regard.

3. Netizens said that special software can be used on local computers to avoid the multi account checking mechanism. Wei wants to say that you underestimate the big data capabilities of eBay and Amazon. They have more than one detection method. They must check whether your current login environment, status, etc. are compliant from multiple dimensions, and compare them with the historical login data. Even if you clean the browser cache in advance, change the IP address once per account, or even change the computer configuration with local virtual software, it is difficult to successfully avoid detection. In terms of software, many people share the same IP address. It is hard to guarantee that no peer on the same IP address is also logging on to eBay and Amazon accounts. In addition, software IP addresses are often blocked and inaccessible (if your eBay account logs on in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, it will be blocked by eBay as being stolen). If you encounter such an event, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.
4. A friend said that I can rent multiple different broadband and computers with different configurations, and then one computer corresponds to one account and one broadband. This is feasible, but it needs to buy computers, broadband, electricity, rent a house, etc. The cost accounting is relatively high and time-consuming. It's better to buy ECS quickly and painlessly.
2、 What server to buy
It is recommended to purchase AliCloud servers and use the Windows server2012R2 version, which has been proven to be useful and fast. The server configuration requires more than 2-core 4G memory. Once a friend bought a 2-core 2G and it was a bit difficult to run. Later, he couldn't accept it. So he asked Old Wei to recommend replacing the 2-core 4G configuration. Now the response is very good.
Look at the table below. You can select a 2-core 4G memory configuration. This is the starting model of the optional server for the project. If the configuration is lower, the running speed will be slow, and it will get stuck when opening multiple windows.
See the following figure for options:
Model: computing network enhanced instance, 2-core 4G. Do not consider cheap burst performance instances and shared instances. They are not easy to use after practice;
reference material: Alibaba Cloud t5 instance with burst performance should be carefully used for long-term site establishment and Windows remote desktop
The longer the time is, the cheaper it is. Three years is the most cost-effective (the price paid in three years is shown in the figure);
Region: you should select the one closest to you. Explain which regions the options correspond to: North China 2 Beijing, East China 1 Hangzhou, East China 2 Shanghai, South China 1 Shenzhen, Hong Kong, West Virginia, Singapore, Australia. How to select a region? Because you have domestic identity information and ship goods in China, it is reasonable for eBay and Amazon to give priority to domestic regions.
Bandwidth: 2M is preferred. In this way, it will be faster to log in to the remote desktop for a long time, operate the browser, send products, and reply to messages. Every price is worth every purchase.
Finally, buy immediately and pay.
2. Tencent ECS
Tencent ECS is a domestic cloud computing business on a par with Alibaba Cloud Server. The scale is much worse (the gap caused by the early or late start time), but the technical gap is not big. No matter stability or speed, it is also first-class in China. Weieis blog is on Tencent ECS.
Supplementary contents on December 20, 2018:
As soon as the article was published, a friend came to inquire about relevant knowledge points. Below, Lao Wei posted the questions and answers of netizens for your reference.
Q: As for the choice of regions, some people say that the domestic region is Taika, and it is better to choose other places in the Asia Pacific region outside China. What do you think?
A: It depends on whether your account's identity information is domestic or foreign. If you are in China, your account is domestic, so it is natural to choose domestic, and the access speed is fast; You are in China, and your account is American. It is natural to choose American hosts, which is in line with common sense.
After re confirmation, it is said that the person who buys the domestic Taika is because he has purchased the Alibaba Cloud shared instance, and the shared servers in East and South China will have a card. As Lao Wei has stressed above, Do not select Alibaba Cloud burst performance instance and shared instance for this project 。 Because Windows is a graphical interface, remote desktop connection consumes system resources and bandwidth.
Why don't you choose the burst performance instance? There are links on it. You can check it yourself. Why not choose a shared instance? Because shared instances involve multiple chickens sharing the resources of the hen system and competing for resources. The key point is Be sure to select an instance that enjoys 100% of the system resources exclusively , is exclusive!!!
In Alibaba Cloud, computing network enhanced instances and more instances with higher configurations, such as general network enhanced instances, meet this situation. Please refer to the following information:
What is the difference between Alibaba Cloud ECS shared and universal (exclusive) instances? How to choose?
How different is the performance of Alibaba Cloud entry-level servers and enterprise instances? How to choose?
What's the difference between 100% exclusive resources of Alibaba Cloud Server and 100% CPU performance? How to choose?
But after comprehensive consideration of cost Computing network enhanced instances meet the requirements and have the lowest cost 。
In addition, the content of this article written by Lao Wei is actually measured, and only those who have been used for a long time can dare to write it. Friends of eBay and Amazon are all real gold and silver, and scribbling will mislead everyone. Lao Wei dare not scribble.
3、 How to use the server's remote desktop
You can refer to how to use Windows Remote Desktop Connection Tutorial 。 However, Lao Wei has encountered an error in the local Windows system of a netizen that he cannot use the remote desktop software. If this happens, either change the computer or use a third-party remote desktop software. Lao Wei recommends using the pagoda remote desktop assistant. Please move to the tutorial How to use the pagoda remote desktop assistant In the software, just input IP, select Windows server, login account and password.
4、 One server can operate several accounts
One server can operate one ebay account and one amazon account with the same identity information. Remember not to log in other people's accounts on this server, or the accounts registered with these two identities may be blocked. Ebay and amazon also know that chinese people are good at doing this batch operation, so it's hard to block it. Recently, in 2017 and 2018, many domestic accounts have been closed in large quantities, which has a great impact.
V Windows remote desktop skills and precautions
1. You can copy and paste files directly. When doing ebay and amazon projects, you need to upload and download pictures and other files when distributing products. At this time, copy them on the local computer and paste them on the remote Windows desktop, just like you do on the local computer. You can also copy and paste files between multiple servers, which is very convenient.
2. Using Google Browser or Firefox is much better than the IE browser provided by remote Windows, and takes up less system resources.
3. Even if you buy a foreign Windows server, do not search for sensitive words or browse illegal websites.
In conclusion, it is very convenient to operate ebay and amazon accounts on a Windows server remote desktop. You can operate on a local computer. You can also open several remote desktops at the same time, and one person can operate multiple accounts at the same time, which is also very safe. It is the most ideal one to many account solution at present.
