搬瓦工:香港PCCW机房即将关闭;可免费升级至香港CN2 GIA;2核2G/1Gbps大带宽高端线路,89美元/年

搬瓦工怎么样?这几天收到搬瓦工发来的邮件,告知香港pccw机房(HKHK_1)即将关闭,这也不算是什么出乎意料的事情,反而他不关闭我倒觉得奇怪。因为目前搬瓦工香港cn2 GIA 机房和香港pccw机房价格、配置都一样,可以互相迁移,但是不管是速度还是延迟还是丢包率,搬瓦工香港PCCW机房都比不上香港cn2 gia 机房,所以不知道香港 PCCW 机房存在还有什么意义?关闭也是理所当然的事情。点击进...

器安装环境和运维管理工具推荐

今天看到一个网友从原来虚拟主机准备转移至服务器管理自己的业务。这里问到虚拟主机和服务器到底有什么不同,需要用到哪些工具软件。那准备在下班之间稍微摸鱼一下整理我们服务器安装环境和运维管理中常见需要用到的软件工具推荐。第一、系统镜像软件一般来说,我们云服务器或者独立服务器都是有自带镜像的。我们只需要选择镜像安装就可以,比如有 Windows和Linux。但是有些时候我们可能需要自定义镜像的高级玩法,这...
