Whether it is the servers in the Hong Kong data center, other overseas servers or domestic servers, users are bound to encounter various problems during the usage process. For example: slow server operation, severe packet loss, unstable lines, etc. So how did these problems come about? Can these problems indicate that the server is unstable? What are the reasons for the slow operation of servers in the Hong Kong data center? Here is a brief introduction to the following reasons that affect the stability of servers in Hong Kong data centers.
1. The server configuration does not match the current traffic of the website
What does this mean? Many users fail to position their sites appropriately and choose servers in Hong Kong data centers that are not suitable for their sites, such as: For websites that currently have more than 10,000 daily access ips, but choose a server configuration that is insufficient to support this number, this may lead to unstable server operation, and problems such as "Service Unavailable" will occur on the website during peak visitor periods. Therefore, it is recommended that when renting or purchasing a server in a Hong Kong data center, you first consider the scale and type of your website, such as: 10,000 daily ips, download sites, image and video resources, etc. Before purchasing, it is best to consult our online customer service staff, who will recommend a suitable server for the webmaster based on the needs of each site.
2. a large amount of resource consumption
When operating a download site or a site for image and video resources, it is not recommended to use small servers in Hong Kong data centers. For this type of site, it is a relatively good choice to use an independent server in a Hong Kong data center and configure it with a higher bandwidth. Some sites have a relatively small amount of traffic, but they consume a large amount of server bandwidth resources, such as downloads, music, videos, and images, which take up an excessive proportion. Trying to avoid the peak periods of resource consumption is a guarantee for the stability of the site. There are other issues as well. For instance, when we use a website CMS system, website lag or unresponsiveness may occur during background updates. This is caused by the one-time update of a large number of resources and high concurrency. To put it simply, it means that the number of updated pages is too large. Solution: Update individual columns in small amounts and multiple times.
3. The server CPU is fully loaded
In some servers, some users deploy too many programs to the server. This practice is also quite resource-intensive. Some users prefer to test and debug programs directly online. When they run problematic programs, the server resources are immediately filled up, and the corresponding web page opening speed slows down. Therefore, we would like to remind users here Make sure as much as possible that the programs uploaded to the server have been tested and are problem-free. For problematic programs, download them to the local area or a dedicated development and testing environment for testing before uploading. Try to avoid online testing as much as possible.
Generally, there are many reasons why domestic access to Hong Kong servers is slow. Hardware, software, bandwidth and other factors may all cause servers accessing the Hong Kong data center from the mainland to be slow. This is especially true when the international export nodes of upstream operators are congested. We suggest that when your domestic users encounter slow access to the servers in the Hong Kong data center, you should communicate with your server provider immediately to rule out whether it is due to your own reasons or a common issue, and seek a solution from them.
