What is server hosting?

In general, server rental means that the server rental company provides the hardware, is responsible for the installation and configuration of basic software, and is responsible for the normal operation of basic service functions on the server, allowing users to exclusively enjoy the server's resources and serve the programs they develop and run themselves.

Specifically speaking, server leasing means that customers who need servers do not need to purchase servers themselves, but only need to make requirements for server hardware configuration based on their business needs. The host server is configured by the IDC service provider. Users rent it and install the corresponding system software and application software to realize exclusive use of a dedicated high-performance server and realize all network service functions of WEB+FTP+MAIL+VDNS. In this way, users' initial investment is reduced and they can focus more on the research and development of their own business.

The types of hosts currently provided by hosting providers for hosting rental services are mainly servers based on Intel CPUs. Users can install the operating system and corresponding application software according to their specific needs and manage them completely by themselves. IDC service providers can also install systems and application software on behalf of users and provide free server monitoring services.
