How to choose an overseas virtual host? Many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain it in detail. People with this need can come and learn. I hope you can gain something.

Virtual hosting is a common tool for us to build websites. Virtual hosting means that physical servers running on the Internet are divided into independent virtual "servers" through virtualization technology. These servers have independent domain names. Convenient management is favored and concerned by many webmasters. How to select overseas virtual hosts mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Whether there is no content limit for overseas virtual hosts

First of all, we should correct the idea that overseas virtual hosts can build content at will, and overseas cloud service providers have content restrictions on websites built by users, such as online live streaming websites, video stations, download stations, adult websites, etc. Before you use the products of this cloud service provider, you must understand each other's policies and rules to avoid shutting down the host due to violations.

2. Whether overseas virtual hosts are all cheap

Due to the early development of overseas hosting business, the cost has been falling after so many years of development, resulting in a corresponding drop in prices, which will be cheap for many domestic cloud service providers.

3. Whether the overseas virtual host has unlimited traffic

Many webmasters are very excited to see "Unlimited Bandwidth", but it is likely to be an advertising trap. No cloud service provider is a virtual host that provides unlimited traffic. If so, the exit bandwidth limit is also made, but in fact, the traffic limit is still made.

The price of overseas virtual host is cheap, but the price of supporting products is not cheap, such as traffic. Generally 20 gigabytes of traffic, the monthly charge is 5-10 US dollars, a total of one year, is not a small expense.

4. Whether the performance of overseas virtual hosts is stable

Although the technology in the field of cloud computing abroad is much more advanced than that in China, especially in the United States, well-known cloud service providers come from here. But it does not guarantee that their servers are stable, different brands, very different. There must be multiple comparisons before buying. Overseas virtual hosts are mainly used in foreign trade stations, and the search engine is Google. You certainly don't want your website to be blacklisted by Google because of frequent downtime.

In particular, some very low-cost products, often low-equipped servers, fluctuating networks, narrow bandwidth and procrastinating after-sales maintenance, such virtual hosts are used to build websites, the losses may outweigh the gain.

5. How to select overseas virtual hosts

How to select overseas virtual hosts in addition to these aspects, what else do you need to pay attention to? There are two unavoidable difficulties in purchasing overseas virtual hosts: one is the language barrier, most cloud service providers can only communicate through English and do not improve Chinese services, such as the all-English management interface, and the other is payment, you need to have a visa credit card or PayPal, MasterCard and so on.

Language barrier, is relatively difficult, early brand comparison, purchase communication, etc., as well as a long-term management interface. You need to be prepared in advance, study by yourself or find an interpreter to help you.

Payment problems and credit card theft are more rampant abroad than at home, so most cloud service providers are very strict in the examination of credit cards. It often takes a long time to review, and in the process, you can send an email and give a friendly reminder. The overseas virtual host market is very large, so there is a purchasing agent business, similar to Haitao milk powder, watches, cosmetics and so on. However, you should note that overseas cloud service providers often only support one credit card to be bound to one account. If it is found that your host uses a credit card to pay for other hosts, especially if some people do not standardize the use of the host, you are likely to be affected. The number of credit cards of these purchasing agents is limited, so do not use them easily.

Through PayPal payment, there is no need to prepare a visa credit card, directly bound to a domestic ordinary credit card can also pay. However, there will be exchange losses when using this method, because the exchange rate of PayPal is relatively high. In contrast, it is more cost-effective to use visa credit cards directly.

It is relatively cheaper to buy virtual hosts directly from overseas cloud service providers, but there are also many problems. Therefore, the overseas products of domestic brands such as Aliyun and Tencent Cloud are also a choice. Of course, the price will be relatively high, but the communication and service are more convenient.
