Host evaluation YY: Looking at the war-torn foreign IDC market from Linode upgrade

Since 2010, everyone seems to have jumped from virtual hosting to VPS all at once. Doesn’t it feel like it’s too fast? Think about the virtual host that I used with cpanel panel and directadmin panel and then suddenly moved to linuxVPS that didn’t require any panels or a VPS with CP\DA panel. Now you are embarrassed to say that you don’t know how to play VPS...

From dreamhost’s $9-a-month virtual host to buyvm’s $15-a-year VPS that also gives you an independent IP; from the previous two- to three-hundred-dollar-a-month server to the current independent one that starts at thirty or forty dollars Server, if you plan to be an IDC, you can start selling VPS with a little more cost of about a hundred dollars. As for selling virtual hosts, it is even simpler. Everyone has noticed the recent two upgrades of Linode, the top foreign XEN-based VPS provider. Let’s talk about the fiercely competitive foreign IDC market.

Linode, before the end of 2012, the hard drive was increased from 20G to 24G, a 20% upgrade, and the price has not changed! Linode, in March 2013, the traffic increased from 200G to 2000G, an upgrade of 9 times, and the price has not changed! Linode, in March 2013, the CPU was upgraded from 4 cores to 8 cores, a full upgrade of 100%, and the price has not changed! Linode, in June 2013, the memory was upgraded from 512M to 1G, doubled, and the price remained unchanged! [According to rumors, wait for the picture below]

VPS.NET, the 0.6G CPU frequency was upgraded to 1.2G, the 384M memory was upgraded to 512M, and 6 data centers mentioned 20G. What is the price? Down $2!

digitalocean, doubled from 256M to 512M, still using a mechanical hard drive? NO, directly use 20G SSD, 1T traffic, what’s the price? Damn it, $5! The above are all talking about VPS. Let’s talk about independent servers. The combination of theplant and softlayer has created the world’s largest data center. Old data centers like whosaleinternet sell independent servers for more than 40 US dollars a month. Small IDCs like enzu\directspace Coming out to disrupt the market, are servers expensive? Give me $20 and I'll give you a dedicated server...

Then let’s talk about the virtual host market. Back then, dreamhost was sold for US$8.99 a month, bluehost was sold for US$6.99 a month, Hostgator, 1and1, even if the Chinese wanted to buy them, I wouldn’t sell them. What about now? godaddy has reduced the virtual host to 12 US dollars a year and gives you a com domain name. The EIG consortium basically has a bucket of rivers and lakes, including iPage, Spry, globat, VPSLink, Netfirms, YourWebHosting, AccountSupport, BizLand, BlueDomino, DomainHost, Dot5Hosting, EasyCGI, eHost, EntryHost, FatCow, FreeYellow, HostCentric, HostYourSite, HyperMart, IMOutdoorsHosting, iPower, IPowerWeb, Networkshosting, PowWeb, PureHost, ReadyHosting, StartLogic, USANetHosting, VirtualAvenue, […] are included under the banner, whether it is a domain name, virtual host or VPS, this EIG has to step on it...

We believe that it will be more difficult for small fish to survive in the next market, while big fish will become increasingly larger and stronger, and monopolies in certain industries will basically take shape. Of course, this monopoly refers to a few large groups. , competition still exists, but in fact it has become increasingly difficult for users to choose, and we have been swayed by them... If the Chinese mainland market is not open, it can last for a few years. At present, there are only Alibaba, Sina, Baidu, Tencent, Shanda, etc. Rich owners are there to sell themselves and boast, and once foreign investment is opened to participate in the melee, I hope that the hardware conditions of China's IDC market will at least improve!
