How to choose a computer room for server hosting?

A data center, also known as a computer room, is a place where companies with Internet-based network application needs (for example, web services, OA systems, ERP software, video conferencing, online games, e-commerce, etc.) store their network equipment and data in an outsourcing manner. It is an extension of the concept of venue rental in the Internet field. In China, computer rooms are mainly divided into national telecom operator data centers and privately built data centers. For example, backbone network data centers in various places are owned by China Telecom or China Unicom, and self-built data center lines are purchased from national operators. National telecom-grade computer rooms are superior to self-built computer rooms in terms of stability, sustainability, and security.

The operating costs of data centers are very high, including air conditioning, electricity, bandwidth, manpower, rent, etc. It is inaccurate to say that the selling price is particularly low. The Internet is quite inclusive and has relatively low requirements for companies providing hosting services, so many small hosting providers have emerged. Because of the low prices, there is still room in the market. Small hosting companies are weak in technology and have insufficient talent resources. Although they have attracted many customers with low prices, once the number of users of the hosting servers increases, they have no profits to support after-sales service. Once problems arise in the later stage, they will be at a loss and will not be able to fulfill their original promises, which brings a lot of trouble to customers. Moreover, this situation is a common phenomenon on the Internet, so customers should not blindly pursue low prices when making choices. Of course, the more expensive the better, but they should find the best cost-effectiveness based on actual conditions.

If it is your first time to host a business, you should choose a company that is relatively large, well-known, well-reputed, and highly reputable. These companies have a long history, guaranteed service, and are trustworthy. At this stage, the service quality of various service providers is uneven and mixed. When choosing, try to choose qualified companies. For example, Internet information service licenses, authorization certificates from national telecommunications operators, etc. can be used as reference.

In addition, it is also important to conduct an on-site inspection of the computer room. Many people like to refer to the luxury of the computer room, which is not entirely correct. When inspecting, some old computer rooms have advantages that new computer rooms do not have, such as the supply of talents, accumulation of experience, quality of broadband, stability of the network, etc. These all need time to be tested, and these advantages are also not possessed by new computer rooms.

The computer room is relatively close to your own enterprise. This selection method is also a misunderstanding, because in the actual server hosting process, the enterprise's server system application should be stable and normal. If this is the case, the chance that the enterprise network administrator may need to go to the computer room for maintenance is zero; if your server always has problems, even if it is a little closer to the computer room, you still have to go to the computer room for maintenance. Is this saving time? Then what you may need to do is to change the computer room or server maintenance personnel. After server hosting, it is best to communicate more with the service provider about the security issues of the server system, website program, database and related applications. This will avoid unnecessary server downtime and maximize the availability of the server network. In a city like Beijing, the distance between enterprises and data centers should be controlled at about one hour.
