In this issue, the editor will bring you about the difference between a cloud server and a stand-alone server. The article is rich in content and analyzed and described from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Which is better, a cloud server or a stand-alone server?

Most newcomers who have just started to come into contact with computers will hear the word "server", but what is a server?

Server refers to a special computer that provides a certain service for customers in the network environment. The server is installed with network operating systems (such as Windows2000 server, Linux, Unix, etc.) and various server application system software (such as web service, email service, etc.).

Having said so much, I still feel a little roundabout, but in fact, by simplifying it, we can come to the conclusion that it is a device that provides computing services. It is mainly composed of processor, hard disk, memory, system bus and so on. Compared with the general computer architecture, it requires higher processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, manageability and so on.

After learning about the server, we will be exposed to another thing: the cloud server. So what is a cloud server? CVM, also known as CVM, is a simple, efficient, secure and reliable computing service with flexible and scalable processing capacity. Its management is simpler and more efficient than physical servers. Users can quickly create or release any number of CVMs without purchasing hardware in advance.

In addition to the cloud server, we will also be exposed to something called a stand-alone server. Stand-alone server: is a separate server, which only runs your own content, and you own the hardware of this server.

So what are the advantages of stand-alone servers compared with cloud servers?

1. The hardware is powerful. The overall hardware is independent, and the performance is more powerful. In particular, CPU,CPU plays a very important role in a server, which is equivalent to the human brain. CPU performance largely determines the computing power of the server. Although the CPU of the CVM is independent, the occupation of CPU resources of the CVM is limited. For example, the cores marked on the CPU parameters of the company's CVM are all from single-core, dual-core and four-core. The standalone server starts with 8 cores.

two。 Applicability of large-scale websites. For large-scale, high-traffic websites, all need strong configuration and performance support to ensure fast, stable and safe operation of the website. For example, websites in industry areas such as games, foreign trade or finance require high access and conversion, as well as independent control permissions. CVM obviously cannot do this.

3. Enhance the performance of the website. In a standalone host environment, all resources on the user's subscription server, such as bandwidth, RAM, and CPU output, are independent of the single website that supports the user. This ensures maximum uptime without "competition" from other sites on the shared server, so the site's performance is not affected by changes in the use of these shared resources. Because all resources are readily available, stand-alone hosts can also provide faster speed and higher stability for companies whose computing needs involve sensitive financial transactions or personal information processing.

4. Flexibility of customization. Users who use stand-alone hosts can take almost complete control of their websites or hand over some or all of their management to the hosting provider. Through the hosting program, the host continues to manage the website while maintaining the server itself, while self-hosting allows website owners to take complete control of their website, and only server maintenance and support are provided by the host. In both modes, however, users are free to install software packages and security features to meet the specific needs of the site and the companies behind it.

The above is the difference between the cloud server and the stand-alone server shared by the editor. If you happen to have similar doubts, please refer to the above analysis to understand. If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
