**Smart Dual-line Hosting: The Perfect Solution to the Bottleneck of Network Access Between Southern and Northern China**

Based on the current state of China's network, Telecom in the south and Unicom in the north represent the two major camps of internet users in the country. This has caused a situation where Telecom users experience slow access to Unicom websites, and Unicom users experience slow access to Telecom websites. However, most websites need to cater to visitors from across the nation, especially medium-to-large scale websites. No one wants to lose customers due to slow access speeds for a portion of their users. Normal access between southern and northern regions has become a bottleneck and a key issue for network development.

To address this problem, various network service providers have introduced many different solutions, which can be summarized into the following main approaches:

1. **Dual Servers with Dual IPs**

Servers are set up separately in Telecom and Unicom data centers, and different domains are used to point to different servers. With this method, website maintenance requires uploading twice, and maintaining two sets of data is relatively complex. It also consumes a significant amount of funds and manpower.

2. **CDN Acceleration Technology**

Network service providers place different cache servers in different data centers. User access is realized through these cache servers. This method effectively accelerates the access speed of static pages and images. However, for dynamic web pages (such as ASP, PHP, ASP.NET programs, forums, etc.), CDN cannot accelerate them and may even slow them down.

3. **Dual-line Server**

A dual-line server is a new type of network service that has emerged in the past 1-2 years. A dual-line server actually has both Telecom and Unicom lines connected, allowing Telecom users to access the Telecom line and Unicom users to access the Unicom line. This achieves the purpose of fast access nationwide.

4. **Smart DNS System**

With a dual-line server, how to intelligently identify visiting users becomes crucial, which is where a smart DNS system comes in. When the intelligent parsing server receives a domain name query request from the client's DNS server, it will intelligently determine whether the client's DNS server belongs to the Telecom or Unicom network and return the corresponding IP address. This enables a single domain name where Telecom users access the Telecom IP and Unicom users access the Unicom IP.

**Nes尼克 Dual-line Hosting (www.nicenic.com)** is the only network operator in South China that provides dual-line virtual hosting services and a smart DNS system. We believe that the combination of dual-line virtual hosting and a smart DNS system will bring unexpected experiences to your website, thoroughly breaking through the bottleneck between Telecom and Unicom.
