This article mainly shows you "how to choose a server that suits you". The content is simple and easy to understand and organized. I hope it can help you solve your doubts. Let Xiaobian lead you to study and learn "how to choose a server that suits you".

Windows

There are six window systems available, covering Server 2003 SP2 and Server 2008 R2. It is divided into 32 bits and 64 bits.

How to choose between 32 or 64 bits

The main limitation of 32-bit systems compared to 64-bit systems is the size of memory. Because of the limitations of 32-bit itself, it can only support up to 4GB of memory. If your website wants to use more than 4GB of memory or has plans to expand memory to more than 4GB in the future, please use a 64-bit operating system.

Xiaobian suggestion: If you want to install a 64-bit system and a configuration larger than 8g, choose 2008 r2, and choose 2003, which is generally 32-bit.

Choose 2003 or 2008

For windows, my personal advice is to choose the higher version the better. The new version has relatively few vulnerabilities, and IIS 7.5 offers more functionality and a more convenient console than IIS6. However, considering that everyone's machine configuration is different, here are a few options:

Configuration is less than 2GB dual-core memory: select server2003 without database

Configuration dual-core 4GB: server 2003 mssql or server 2008 R2 without database

Configuration higher than dual-core 8GB: severever 2008 R2(win2012/2016) mssql

It is recommended that if you want to run a database on a Cloud Virtual Machine, try to choose a large memory configuration, or lower the configuration to choose RDS, or you can buy a cloud database.

This is based on everyone's preferences. I won't say much here.

As for Windows server configuration tutorials, because there are many online tutorials and Windows configuration is less difficult than Linux, Windows configuration tutorials will be released later.

Linux articles

This is the focus of this tutorial, how to choose Linux server.

Linux Alibaba Cloud provides a total of 11 types of two categories, let us introduce the specific differences.

What is the difference between these Linux versions?

Linux is divided into major categories. Alibaba Cloud provides two major operating systems based on Debian and Red Hat. The specific categories are as follows:

Debian：Ubuntu，Debian

Red hat：Red Hat ，Centos

2) What is the difference between these two categories?

Debian: Deb package used, using APT package management system. Debian also provides newer versions of most software, and offers more packages than the original Red Hat. The advantages of Debian are that it is updated quickly, the software package is complete (Ubuntu in particular), and it is easy to use. The disadvantage is that some times the stability is poor, and there may be bugs in the latest software.

Red Hat: Use rpm package, use yum package management system. Compared to Debian, Red Hat is slow. Most of the software stays in stable versions, and it is also far from the latest version. And some new features are slow to support, such as php-fpm. Because Red Hat is an operating system for enterprise users, it stands out for stability and generally prefers the latter in terms of new features or stability choices. Only when a certain function is completely stable will it be added to the system. The advantages are system stability, technical documentation, and enterprise-level technical support if you pay for it. The downside is that the software package is older and some newer features are missing.

To sum up:

If you like to try something new, like to use the latest features, or like to tinker with the system, then Debian is a better choice. While Red Hat's kernel is still stuck at 2.6, Debian has already entered the 3.0 threshold.

If you are looking for stability and don't want to update your system software frequently, Red Hat is a better choice for you. Excellent stability and rich documentation support will definitely meet your needs. Of course, don't have illusions about too new features. And Red Hat's comprehensive documentation saves you the pain of searching around for tutorials and forums
