Cloud Server Selection Guide
Choosing the right cloud server configuration is crucial for optimal performance and efficiency. Below are recommendations tailored to different business needs.
1. Follow Software Vendor Recommendations
If your business relies on software from other vendors, always refer to their recommendations to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
2. Recommended Setup for Database Applications
If you need to run a database application such as MySQL, Redis, or Memcached, select more than 1GiB of memory and use vSSD cloud disk for persistent storage to ensure reliability and speed.
3. Low-Latency Applications (Game Servers & Bidding Systems)
For latency-sensitive applications like game servers or bidding platforms, choose a high-frequency CPU (3GHz or higher) for better responsiveness and performance.
4. Maximum Performance Stability
If your business requires long-term, highly stable performance, opt for a dedicated CPU (Dedicated series) to avoid resource contention and maintain consistent performance.
5. Large-Scale Data Backup Needs
For businesses that back up data from other cloud providers, factory environments, or personal storage, a high-capacity HDD cloud disk is recommended for cost-effective large-scale storage.
6. Serving Customers in Mainland China
If you or your customers are located in mainland China, choose CN2 GIA bandwidth or traffic for more stable and lower-latency connectivity.
7. Choosing Between Bandwidth and Traffic
If your application requires a stable, continuous network load, opt for bandwidth-based pricing for consistent performance.
If your application experiences intermittent network usage, traffic-based pricing may be a more cost-effective option.
8. Avoid SWAP When Running Low on Memory
Do not use SWAP when memory is insufficient! Relying on SWAP will severely degrade performance, leading to a poor user experience and potential application crashes. Instead, ensure adequate memory allocation for your workloads.
Conclusion
Selecting the right server configuration can significantly improve performance, reduce costs, and ensure long-term stability. We hope this guide helps you find the best cloud server solution for your needs!
