As of this morning, Alibaba Cloud officially released the Double 11 Event, so we can see that most domestic and foreign hosting companies have released the event in succession. Our webmaster also clearly sees that there are still quite a lot of routines of major hosting companies. For example, our old users have abandoned them directly, including Zuo Gangcai, who also has a new AliCloud server. Only a little discount can be given. The price of one year is twice the price of the new three years.
Of course, there are some business renewal discounts. However, we can see that the promotion efforts of most host companies are still relatively large, and they are all competing for new users with great efforts, even at a loss. This is why many of our individual merchants, Lao Zuo, do not recommend entering this industry. People's bosses always stick to their books to sell, and then they kick individuals and small businesses out of the market, and then they harvest renewal fees from old users or no discounts for new purchases from old users.
This weekend, the first day of November, is also Halloween. So this weekend, Lao Zuo and everyone will sort out and look at the several hosting companies we followed a few days ago. What are their routines. If we really need it and meet the requirements, we can still start and renew it. Although we are passive, we still need to actively participate in some activities.
First, Alibaba Cloud new users
New Alibaba Cloud users can participate in the group building activities, and of course they need new accounts. Let's think of a way, for example, let friends help authenticate accounts. Of course, if we use someone else's account to register, your server must be used regularly. Although we paid 85 yuan a year for the server, I personally didn't recommend it for one year. Because there were many renewals, we bought it for three years.

If our project can be completed in three years, we will not be distressed by the renewal at that time. If the project has not been completed for three years, we should consider whether it is unnecessary to continue.
Second, UCloud Hong Kong server
We have seen Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud merchants' Double 11 promotion. There are really not many Hong Kong servers. It seems that merchants are not worried about sales. So for UCLOUD, we have seen a lot of merchants in the past two years. Although the regular price is relatively high, when you have promotional activities, newcomers can enjoy a lower discount to buy servers, including Hong Kong servers.

But we need to note that the backhaul bandwidth is limited to 2M, so when we choose, you choose 2M bandwidth. For example, 2G or 4G memory configuration is basically suitable for our general projects.
Third, Tencent Cloud has a conscience
Tencent Cloud's activities this year are relatively strong. For example, the efforts of newcomers, including discounts, and enterprises are also relatively low. Of course, some products can also be bought by old users, unlike the expensive configurations of old Alibaba Cloud users. Tencent Cloud also includes a coupon for full payment and an upgrade discount for old users.

Here, Lao Zuo reminds us that Tencent Cloud is a little strict with domestic servers. We suggest that the name of the record should be consistent with the name of the website. They checked this last year. Of course, they also have Hong Kong lightweight servers.
Fourth, Huawei Cloud has the strength but is stingy
Huawei Cloud used to have very few activities. After all, they didn't look up to our individual users. They mainly went to enterprises. But do you feel acclimatized when you leave alone? It hasn't opened up the situation of individual users, mainly because you haven't given up your status. For example, the annual payment for activities during the Double 11 Festival has a minimum amount of cloud servers with a basic 2G1M configuration of 88 yuan.

There are few other configurations. So if we choose, if you really can't find new users in other accounts, Huawei can force users. For example, if some friends need WIN server clients, 88 yuan a year can also be collected.
Fifth, RackNerd pays less than $10 a year
RackNerd, a foreign service provider, was established around October last year. So far, it has been slowly involved in 89 data centers, mainly following the low-cost multi machine room routine. The merchant's machine is cheap, including the configurations that pay as little as $10 a year for the Double 11 Festival, but the speed is average. We should understand that you don't want any bicycles at this price.

If we need foreign trade business or low-cost American VPS host, we can use it. But what Laozuo really wants to say is that the speed is average, not the machine that optimizes American lines.
To sum up, Lao Zuo has made a weekend inventory of several businesses' Double 11 activities he recently saw. In fact, we have our own ideas, such as which businesses we usually use, and then see if there are any discounts. In a word, we should follow the principle of needs. Sometimes it is useless for us to buy at a lower price, so it is unnecessary.
