What should I pay attention to when choosing an overseas cloud host?

At present, the digital transformation of enterprises is a hot trend in the world, and the foundation of digital transformation relies on the increasingly perfect cloud computing technology. The infrastructure of the cloud computing industry chain is the cloud host, which is an important part of cloud computing.

Cloud hosting integrates computing, storage and network resources, and is a new generation of high-performance hosting services under the wave of digital transformation. It is based on on-demand use and pay-as-you-go based on the cloud computing model, allowing users to directly deploy the required server environment through the self-service platform of the Web interface, which can effectively solve the shortcomings of traditional host rental prices and uneven service quality. Small and medium-sized enterprises and individual webmaster users have low-cost, high-reliability, and easy-to-manage requirements for host rental services.

However, for overseas business, if you directly choose a common cloud host, there will be a problem that the cloud host does not match the business area, and the line mismatch will lead to slow speed and high latency, which is also not conducive to search engine rankings. . On the contrary, if a cloud host dedicated to overseas business is used, applications and data can be deployed in the cloud environment to improve resource access efficiency.

However, it should be noted that not any overseas cloud host can meet the needs of enterprises, so enterprises need to pay attention to the following points when choosing overseas cloud hosts:

• International bandwidth
• Deployment area
• Service performance

International bandwidth

As long as it is a service that performs digital transmission, bandwidth must be a point of concern. It limits the data throughput capacity of the service and determines the level of requests that can be carried. The greater the bandwidth, the greater the data that can be transmitted per second. However, overseas businesses are in different global network environments, development levels, operation modes, and congestion levels, and it is difficult to make targeted bandwidth adjustments. However, if the cross-border business wants to expand, it is inevitable to face the situation of website promotion, concurrent activities and other traffic increases. At this time, if there is not enough bandwidth, the service load will be overloaded, which will affect network connectivity, resulting in poor user experience or even loss.

Deployment area

In addition to the bandwidth that affects the access speed, the region where the server is deployed will also have a direct impact on the access speed. Because the data transmission itself also takes a certain amount of time, if the regions of the client and the server are different, the time required for the transmission will be extended. Therefore, when choosing a cloud host, it is best to choose the service in the user's area, so as to further reduce the delay time of data transmission and bring users a better browsing experience.

Service performance

The last and most important point of overseas cloud hosting is service performance. Usually we can judge from the following three aspects:

• Elastic capacity expansion: The biggest advantage of cloud hosting services is the ability to perform elastic capacity expansion on demand. Simple configuration can complete rapid upgrades when users need them, expand resources, and ensure service stability.
• Facility update: Although the cloud host runs on the cloud, the cloud service also needs to update and upgrade hardware facilities and technical services in real time to ensure service efficiency.
• Safe and reliable: A major difficulty of overseas services is that it is difficult to operate and maintain. Therefore, professional overseas cloud hosts must have a sound data maintenance system and perfect disaster recovery methods, which can reduce the risk of data leakage and improve data security.

In order to ensure the stability and reliability of services, it is particularly important for overseas enterprises to choose a reliable cloud service provider. Recently, Paiyun and Houdeyun have launched a special event for overseas cloud hosting activities. New users are also entitled to a special offer for the first purchase, and the purchase of an overseas cloud server in Hong Kong is only 18.8 yuan/month.

Relying on Youpaiyun's years of industry experience, the global Anycast network covers 90 countries and more than 200 cities. We can not only ensure intelligent scheduling in the process of data distribution, eliminate delays and freezes in overseas cross-operator access, but also provide transparent performance monitoring, including logs, events, alarms, etc., to see the running process of applications. At the same time, not only accelerating, but also Paiyun Overseas CDN provides a variety of security services to prevent DDoS attacks, customer data leakage and malicious robots. In addition to security protection, performance is not compromised.

The CN2 direct connection line of Houde Cloud hosting service can effectively improve performance, speed and reduce latency, and Houde Cloud replaces manual management with software, simplifies IT infrastructure products but retains commonly used products and functions. Vendors and many cloud products are freed, and they can focus more on the iteration of their own applications.
