What can vps do? I believe that many inexperienced people are at a loss about this, so this article summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Vps can be used to build personal blogs, Shadowsocks, private VPN, cloud disk, mail server, FTP download station, Bitcoin Lettercoin, QQ Wangwang hook-up, small game servers and so on.

With the rapid development of vps technology, many users have idle vps resources, and many people will ask what the vps server can do. Today, let's share various ways to use idle vps:

1. Hosting the website

This is the most common CVM. You can run by building a LAMP and downloading a WordPress. Some images are also equipped with a website management panel, and the threshold for building a website is getting lower and lower. Take advantage of the extra VPS on hand, set up your own blog. Can also provide blog services to friends around, be a good person and make full use of VPS resources, do not waste the electricity bill of the computer room, why not?

2. Act as a reverse agent

Can hide the back-end hosts, squid and varnish are very mature applications. For our small websites or blogs, reverse proxy is more efficient than CDN. When we visit a URL for the first time, both the reverse proxy and the CDN go to the source host to obtain resources and return them to the client, which takes a certain amount of time. CDN due to the large number of nodes, users in Zhejiang visit nodes in Zhejiang, or users in different cities in Zhejiang may visit different nodes. Due to the small number of visits, the resources accessed by users are not cached on the node, resulting in going to the origin server to obtain data every time, which takes more time than direct access. The reverse proxy is like a node, and the cache hit rate will be higher.

In addition to acceleration, the reverse proxy host can have more access control and increase the security of the website.

3. Private cloud (synchronization tool)

There are many mature cloud synchronization tools, such as Dropbox, but they are hosted by third parties, and despite their claims of awesome encryption, they always feel like turtles in the urn. With a vps host, we can use BTsync to build our own private cloud, which is not controlled by a third party, and supports Windows, Mac, Linux and even some NAS devices. The decentralized design of BTsync can establish a channel between multiple devices. Compared with synchronization tool clients such as Dropbox, which can only obtain data from the server side, BTsync can receive and send data between multiple devices at the same time. When the bandwidth permits, it can achieve faster speed in theory, and is not affected by the single point of failure of the server side (BTsync has no server side).

4. Private VPN

Digitalocean is very stupid to build vpn. You can test it yourself. Build pptp\ l2tp\ openvpn with one click to take advantage of vps's resources as much as possible. Take digitalocean in the United States as an example, the server bandwidth is more than 100m, especially the speed of SanFrancisco computer room to the mainland is excellent, so it is not a problem to see youtube 1080p. Reminder: can only be private use, can not be made public, easy to be blocked.

5. Set up a personal mail server

Do you want to use your own domain name mailbox? isn't that awesome? Do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing! Using vps to build a SendMail mail server, it is no problem to send more than one hundred thousand e-mails a day. And you don't have to worry about some mail servers intercepting you all day.

6. FTP download station

If you have a lot of e-books, music and movies you want to share with your friends, why not use vps's own download station? It is said that you can also join the online disk alliance and make money by downloading clicks! This is quite reliable.

7. Dig Bitcoin Lettercoin

Now the virtual currency is rampant, if you have idle vps resources, you can consider installing a software to dig mines on the server to earn virtual currency. You can also use to dig up the flow of ore to sell money, and many stationmasters in China are doing this business.

8. Set up a small game server

For example, Minecraft server, nostalgic legendary server, CS networking server and so on.

What can a 64m VPS be used for?

64m is mainly "scientific surfing the Internet", can also set up a lnmp environment to set up a typecho blog, or put a static page can establish a small-scale reverse proxy, improve website access speed can build a dns recursive server, used to prevent dns contamination can hang probes in fact, generally speaking, large memory vps can do what small memory vps can do, but easy to run out of memory Or the same function needs to be implemented in other ways.
