Many webmasters today may consider choosing a virtual host when building a website. Compared with traditional servers, virtual hosts have certain advantages, such as simple operation and higher cost performance. However, it is undeniable that virtual hosts also have greater limitations in some aspects, which also means that not every All kinds of websites are suitable for virtual hosting. Today I will share with you some types of websites that are not suitable for virtual hosting.

1. Resource websites

Resource-based websites mostly provide users with uploading and downloading services, such as some video or music software, among which are well-known websites such as Movie Paradise.

Most of these websites need to frequently read data from the server, and also need a very large space to carry the content for users to download, so if it is such a website, do not use virtual hosts, which is difficult to cope with. Websites that require frequent data reading.

2. Photo websites

There are many websites that collect a large number of pictures for sale to designers and other industries. This kind of website is similar to the resource websites mentioned above. They all need to upload a lot of content and require a lot of memory. At the same time, this kind of website also needs to frequently read the server data, so virtual hosting is also not suitable for this kind of website. Compared with virtual hosts, cloud hosts or servers have strong scalability and are more applicable.

3. Websites with higher authority requirements

For some personal websites, or the official websites of small and medium-sized enterprises, virtual hosts are more suitable, but for websites with higher requirements for permissions, websites are not suitable for using virtual hosts because the permissions of virtual hosts are lower. It is difficult to meet the requirements of this type of website. For this type of website, it is better to use a server or cloud host.

4. Websites with larger traffic

Obviously, the image and resource websites mentioned above all have a lot of traffic, but the websites with big traffic are not limited to these. In fact, as long as it is a website with a lot of traffic, it is not suitable for virtual hosting. Because the virtual host is a shared server resource, if the website traffic is large and the virtual host is used, it will make the user's access very slow, and sometimes even occupy the resources of other websites. At the same time, the visit experience is not smooth enough to make your website lose a lot of users.

5. E-commerce websites

Most e-commerce websites have a lot of content, including pictures, etc., so first of all, higher requirements for memory are put forward. Secondly, e-commerce websites also have high requirements for the stability of the website. If the website is not stable enough, the user experience will be very poor, which will seriously affect the conversion rate of the website, so if you use virtual hosting , Also requires a virtual host with higher parameter configuration, but this will also bring higher costs, so we still recommend using the server directly.

Of course, if the website sells fewer products, or the company only researches and develops certain products, then virtual hosting is also possible.

The choice of website server is a very important thing, because the server will directly affect the stability of the website, so for websites that are not suitable for virtual hosting, it is better not to save these costs on the server.
