Due to the serious shortage of domestic export bandwidth, the access speed for foreign users is very slow, and foreign users often experience long delays when trying to access domestic websites. Based on user psychology analysis, users generally lose interest in websites that fail to load within eight seconds. Imagine if a potential customer of an export-oriented company abandons the website due to its slow loading speed; unfortunately, the company will lose this customer as a result. Therefore, hosting the website on overseas servers and directly targeting the intended customer base has become a consensus for building outward-oriented websites.
A significant difference between overseas virtual hosting and domestic hosting is that overseas hosting limits traffic, which refers to the total sum of upload and download traffic from your space. Overseas hosting does not limit concurrent connections; no matter how many people are online at the same time on your website, once the traffic is used up, you have to pay to purchase more. Many domestic customers are often attracted by large capacities, and website owners with high traffic often think they're getting a good deal. However, once actual traffic exceeds the specified amount, they immediately need to pay for additional traffic. This is the biggest difference between domestic IDC providers.
When selecting overseas virtual hosting, companies can generally list the advantages of overseas virtual hosting, which is also why companies choose overseas virtual hosting. For example: it can overcome the mutual visitation issues between telecom and network operators, a typically Chinese-style dilemma; relatively cheap prices, stable servers; insufficient China's export bandwidth causes many domestic websites to be inaccessible abroad, choosing overseas virtual hosting can solve the problem of slow access speeds from other countries, especially for websites targeting foreign customers, it is necessary to choose an overseas host.
When companies select overseas virtual hosting providers, they should prefer domestic suppliers because domestic suppliers can help resolve issues such as communication barriers, inconvenient payment processes, and poor after-sales service. However, it's not wise to arbitrarily choose a supplier without careful consideration. The process of understanding and screening is essential. It is necessary to check the domain registration validity period of the supplier. If its validity period is shorter than the expected operation time of your website, it is best to carefully evaluate or directly inquire, especially for those newly registered services with only one year of registration time.
