Baidu Cloud is a product launched by Baidu similar to Alibaba Cloud. It mainly sells VPS hosts, domain names, cloud storage, DNS, CDN, etc. Some people may also mistakenly think that Baidu Cloud is a network disk, because Baidu did call its network disk Baidu Cloud before. Later, it created a Baidu Cloud server and finally turned the network disk into a "network disk" again.
Changing names like Baidu Cloud is enough to show the confusion in Baidu's product line. For example, Baidu Webmaster Tools claims to help speed up Baidu search engine inclusion and SEO. In fact, I feel that the two are separated. Speed measurement, links, etc. in Webmaster Tools are always in the Beta stage, and some functions It's like it never existed.
Therefore, although Baidu Cloud Server has been launched for many years, I basically have no understanding of such products. Last year, Baidu Cloud Server launched a 99 yuan rush sale on Double Eleven. I couldn’t hold back and bought one. I have been tinkering with the VPS line monitoring platform: ping.wzfou.com these days, so I picked up the Baidu Cloud VPS that had been in the dust for several months.
This article will share a simple evaluation of the use and performance of Baidu Cloud Server VPS host. Generally speaking, Baidu Cloud has no comparable advantages over Alibaba Cloud. Whether it is price or technology, I feel that Alibaba Cloud is more suitable for personal website building. For more VPS host reviews, see the special topic I created: VPS host ranking list.

PS: Updated on June 26, 2018, Baidu Cloud Server currently has few computer rooms, only a few domestic computer rooms.

3. Summary
Baidu Cloud Server inherits the "characteristics" of Baidu products - focuses on technology but not on services . Compared with Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Cloud VPS is more expensive, has fewer computer room nodes, and is not attractive enough. It is more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Build a website.
At present, I have used Baidu Cloud Server as the monitoring node of ping.wzfou.com. The stability is still good. Friends who are interested can take a look.
