Today is the National Day. First of all, Lao Zuo wishes the motherland and netizens a happy holiday. At present, Alibaba Cloud merchants provide cloud products that basically cover what we need and what we don't need. For cloud servers, we can see independent virtual hosts, ECS cloud servers, elastic bare metal services, lightweight application servers, etc. It is not difficult for experienced netizens to choose servers, but some novice netizens first look at the price. For example, we saw that the lightweight application server in Hong Kong, China, started at as low as 24 yuan per month, so everyone went to choose it. In fact, after using it, we found that the speed was not as fast as expected.
All the lightweight servers in Hong Kong, China are CN2 on the return trip and NTT on the return trip. At the same time, China Unicom and China Mobile are directly connected. Therefore, the speed and stability of ECS servers directly connected to the Hong Kong machine room are not as good as those of ECS servers. This is also the reason why ECS servers are cheap. I am old this morning Zuo is also waiting for the live show of the big parade. He is also idle when he is idle. He uses this time to test the line of Alibaba Cloud's lightweight server in Hong Kong in detail.

First, PING test of lightweight server room in Hong Kong

From the PING speed test, I feel that the speed is good. Maybe many people will be confused by this test. Because some OEMs do have a good PING speed, but they get stuck when they actually use it, and there is no actual speed process. Lao Zuo has experienced the performance of the basic package before, so I will not test it here. This article mainly tests the circuit.
Second, random telecom node line routing test

Here we can see that the telecom nodes are on the NTT line. In the morning, we see that the PING data is basically not different because there is no feeling during the day, but it is obvious at night. In many node areas, the PING speed exceeds 100
Third, random mobile node routing test

Fourth, Unicom node route tracking test

To sum up, Alibaba Cloud's current lightweight application servers are indeed cheaper than ECS servers in terms of price and bandwidth configuration. However, in fact, the telecom line is NTT, and the return trip is CN2. If we need to build a common website, we can use it. If you are demanding for speed, we recommend choosing a traditional ECS server.
