Hong Kong servers and US servers have become the preferred overseas server Spaces for domestic webmasters, accounting for 71.2% of the entire overseas server rental business. However, for many novice webmasters, they may not be clear about whether it is better to choose a Hong Kong server or an American server, and there are more or less some doubts.

It's the end of the year, and more and more friends are renting servers in Hong Kong and the United States. Here is a simple analysis of which websites are suitable for Hong Kong servers and US servers respectively, hoping to be helpful for everyone's choice.

Hong Kong servers are classified as overseas Spaces. Their most notable advantages are no need for filing, fast domestic access speed, and good stability. In fact, many friends choose Hong Kong servers because they are attracted by their high access speed. After all, they are relatively close to the mainland, and the Ping value is only about 40ms.

However, most servers in Hong Kong use international bandwidth, which is relatively limited and expensive. So now, most Hong Kong servers are mainly 5M or 10M. If additional bandwidth is added, it will greatly increase the rental cost of Hong Kong servers. Before renting a server in Hong Kong, a comprehensive consideration should be made. Here, it is suggested that you analyze it from the following two aspects.

1. Website visitor group If the website's visitors are mainly located in China or in the Asian region, and the bandwidth requirements are not high during peak hours of the website, then a Hong Kong server can be chosen.

2. Website scale and nature; Due to the limited bandwidth resources of the Hong Kong server, it is definitely not applicable to large-scale download websites and game websites. Of course, it is still a relatively ideal choice for video websites, e-commerce websites and enterprise websites of general scale.

Overall, the overall performance configuration of Hong Kong servers is relatively high, which can meet the requirements of common website construction, and the access speed is also very fast. For some large websites that consume a lot of bandwidth resources, careful selection should be made.

Among overseas server rentals, American servers stand out as outstanding, with a market share that is far ahead. Due to the advantages of good performance, strong technical strength and high cost performance of American server rental, it is highly favored by domestic webmasters.

At present, most of the servers rented by domestic webmasters in the United States are located in data centers on the west coast of the United States, which are relatively close physically. Domestic access also has a good effect, with a Ping value of around 170ms. Nowadays, ordinary American independent servers all offer 100M bandwidth resources and unlimited traffic. Of course, when choosing a server in the United States, you can also analyze it from the following two aspects.

If it is an export-oriented website and the visiting user group is abroad, then a US server is definitely a better choice. After all, the data centers in the United States are connected to submarine optical cables, which have abundant bandwidth resources and relatively fast access speeds to countries around the world, making them suitable for building foreign trade websites.

If the website is relatively large in scale and has high requirements for bandwidth resources, then an American server can also be chosen. The overall performance of servers in the United States is relatively good and can meet the construction requirements of large-scale websites.

If you want to rent a server with high defense, anti-attack and anti-ddos attack capabilities, it is recommended that you choose a US server. After all, all these require sufficient bandwidth resources as support, and the rich bandwidth resources of the US server can fully meet the requirements.

In the future, as the layout of CN2 lines becomes increasingly complete, CN2 US servers may have higher stability and faster access speeds. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong data center is also laying out more high-quality optical fiber lines. In the future, the situation where the bandwidth resources of Hong Kong servers are relatively scarce will also be greatly improved. However, no matter how fierce the competition between Hong Kong servers and American servers is, for users, what they care more about is whether they can provide us with more high-quality server products.

If your website has both domestic users and overseas users; If you are still hesitating whether to choose a Hong Kong server or an American server; If you are still learning about which websites are suitable for Hong Kong servers and US servers. Then, everyone should carefully read the above content and, in light of the actual situation of the website, rationally choose the website server from a broader perspective.
