If you want to choose a VPS host in China, you will usually choose Tencent Cloud or Alibaba Cloud VPS. There are two reasons: First, VPS is cheap. Regardless of whether you are doing activities or not, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud have pushed domestic VPS very low. . Recently, after comparing Qingyun, UCloud, Meituan Cloud, JD Cloud VPS, Baidu Cloud VPS, Didi Cloud VPS, etc., Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud VPS are the cheapest. Second, Tencent Cloud or Alibaba Cloud VPS are serious about building products. The threshold for setting up a cloud host is very high, but many domestic merchants just open a server and sell VPS in order to make money. I don’t know where the “cloud” will be in the future. Looking back at the products of Tencent Cloud or Alibaba Cloud VPS in recent years, the "cloud" has basically taken shape. Although there are various problems, the VPS products of these two domestic companies are relatively good. If you are not in a hurry to use a VPS host, it is recommended to focus on major holiday promotions such as "Double Eleven" and "618". All major host companies will recommend discounts and promotions during this period. Last year, I purchased it on Double Eleven. Alibaba Cloud VPS is super cost-effective. Tencent Cloud VPS also has a promotion called "Group Buying". If one user starts a group purchase, and others join the group purchase, they can enjoy a VPS with 1CPU and 2GB memory for 10 yuan/month. It should be said that the price is very good value. It is really hard to find another one in China that sells 2GB of memory for 10 yuan a month. This article will share the performance and speed of the 1-core 2G memory VPS host I purchased. For more VPS host reviews, please refer to the special topic: VPS host ranking list. Currently, domestic VPS options are:

  1. DiDiyun Didi Cloud VPS host performance and speed simple evaluation-SSD storage high IO price is cheap
  2. Comparison of Hong Kong VPS hosting between Alibaba Cloud domestic version and international version - differences in traffic, bandwidth, configuration, etc.
  3. A simple evaluation of the use and performance of Baidu Cloud Server VPS host - it is more expensive than Alibaba Cloud VPS
PS: Updated on December 19, 2018, Tencent Cloud has launched a new AMD server with a price as low as 8 US dollars/month. For related performance evaluation, please see: Tencent Cloud AMD Server Performance and Speed ​​Evaluation - 8 yuan/month Monthly memory 1GB hard disk 50GB bandwidth 1MB.

1. Introduction to Tencent Cloud VPS

Official website:
  1. Home page: https://cloud.tencent.com/
  2. Old users: https://cloud.tencent.com/act/campus/group/index
Open the Tencent Cloud VPS group purchase page (please open the default homepage if the group purchase is over), and then select the computer room location. The default group purchase is 1CPU and 2 memory.

4. Tencent Cloud VPS evaluation

This is the memory, CPU and disk IO of the Tencent Cloud VPS purchased. From the test results, it can be seen that the disk IO read and write speed is really slow, which is somewhat the same as the domestic version of Alibaba Cloud introduced before. Use the UnixBench benchmark tool to test Tencent Cloud VPS's 1CPU, 2GB memory VPS with a comprehensive score of nearly 2,000. This result is still acceptable. (Click to enlarge) Since the download speed of Tencent Cloud VPS has been limited to 1MB, the actual test download speed is more than 100 KB/s. The upload speed of Tencent Cloud VPS can basically be reached locally. The VPS performance and speed test methods used in this article are referenced from: Three free tools to help you detect the authenticity of VPS servers - VPS host performance and speed test methods.

5. Summary

The group promotion of Tencent Cloud VPS is started by old users, and only new users can join the group. New users can purchase a 1-core 2G cloud server through the group link of old users, and get 1 month free if you buy 2 months. The validity period of group opening is 24 hours. Each new and old user can only participate in one group activity. Old users can re-open a group if they fail to start a group. Each group allows up to 200 new users to participate. The management panel of Tencent Cloud CVM is very powerful, and the performance and network stability of the VPS host are acceptable. The most important thing is that it is quite cost-effective to buy it for 10 yuan a month. One problem is that using Tencent Cloud VPS requires a BA account, which is recommended for individual users.
