What is the right web hosting service for the development of small and micro start-ups?

Whether you are a newcomer who has just joined the self-employed army or an "old store manager" who has many years of experience in opening stores on the national e-commerce platform, Digital Marketing Agency in order to improve personal or business awareness of the Internet and increase sales by operating an independent e-commerce website, you have to face such a question: How can I choose a suitable virtual hosting service?

Before we get to the topic, let me help you analyze why you have the above questions.

The first reason: the first thing that bothers you is cost and price.

At present, there are many domestic web service providers, service prices are dazzling, ranging from a few hundred yuan to one hundred thousand yuan. Of course, these price plans include the basic elements of cloud servers, virtual space, bandwidth, and other network-hosted services. Small start-ups are less likely to spend most of their money on cloud servers and web sites, where promotion and operations are the main focus.

1. Domain name: 55 yuan. Alibaba Cloud domain name system registered enterprises or through Tencent Cloud new network are our market prices. If the target and audience of your website are foreign customers, you can also choose to learn from foreign domain name registrars to register domain names. Remember that some foreign domain names can be used directly as long as they are taken down and paid (domain names directly affect the cloud server IP that is resolved to the website). First of all, the domestic domain name should be authenticated by the domain name service provider, and the teaching record should be submitted to the local provincial information industry department to complete the social work procedure. Hello, students need to wait at least 7-20 days.

2. Cloud server: Domestic BAT three cloud servers are good, the price from entry-level hundreds of yuan a year to thousands of shared virtual hosts, enterprise cloud servers have tens of thousands of units. However, here I recommend that you do not blindly choose a cloud server on the price. The low price means that your server will be severely limited in terms of storage, performance, and bandwidth scalability, both in terms of security and performance. Recommended configuration: at least 2 vcpus, 4 core memory, 40-100gb hard disk (common hard disk and SSD hard disk optional), the price of this configuration is about 230 yuan per month, and the annual purchase can be cheap to more than 500 yuan. If you just want to start a business or personal blog, you can choose Alibaba‘s “Cloud for All“ and Tencent‘s “Cloud for Small Businesses“ because these two pricing schemes are the most cost-effective you can find on price alone.

3. Website: It's true. From the design level, the framework of the website, the operating environment and the cost of the website are really different. My experience and advice tell me not to choose the so-called open source website system in China. The so-called open source website is the most unreliable in terms of its function, security and expansibility, and it will consume you too much time and energy later. Either honestly put money in, find a reliable website design company, and design according to your own needs; Or build your own website directly with WordPress framework. The budget remains between 5000 and 15000. If it goes beyond this range, it is a waste of resources. If you can't reach it, you have to count it. You are not changing your website design, but buying a new website service. If you feel that the products of other website design service providers are not comprehensive and the communication is not smooth, then you can choose our one-stop WordPress professional website building service.

The second reason: whether the technical operation is convenient or not, online customer service has no peace of mind.

Domestic cloud server providers are nothing more than BAT plus Huawei Cloud, Jinshan Cloud and Telecom Tianyi Cloud. I have used and experienced almost all the cloud servers of these service providers. In terms of management and operation, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud are more intuitive and simple. I still prefer to let everyone choose Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud's IAAS, PAAS and SaaS are all based on the original Tian Fei cloud system. Another stack-based cloud computing system is different, very different.

If your site is for overseas customers, the Domain Name Service staff can choose to learn foreign domain name registration -LRB-the biggest advantage is that the domain name website can be used directly, no need to declare) . This will greatly facilitate the use of Google ads in future web sites. If you feel that providing a national English website is a bit of a challenge for students, then you can also give these troubles to guide us, we need a professional team to give you experience with a different cloud data application process.

In a word, small and micro enterprises are constantly evolving and optimizing their products and services while choosing virtual hosting services. I hope these suggestions can provide some useful references for solving your problems.
