Section: Site server

A server for a site is a server that hosts a website in an online data center. The website server is mainly used for publishing and using websites on the Internet, and is the main hardware of network applications.

Concept
Server software, server software works on a client-server or browser-server basis, there are many forms of servers, commonly used include: file server (file server) - such as Novell NetWare. Database server - e.g. Oracle database server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, etc.

Application environment
The website server can deploy and build ASP/JSP/.NET/PHP and other application frameworks according to the needs of the website application. Two popular environments are Linux + Apache ( Nginx ) + Mysql + Php , i.e. LAMP/LNMP environment, and another WINDOWS + IIS + ASP / .NET + MSSQL environment.

LAMP is the most widely used server environment running under a stable and secure Linux system, Apache is the most famous open source web server, Mysql is also the most famous open source relational database, and PHP is a popular scripting language that can handle dynamic user requests.

Windows+IIS+ASP/.NET+MSSQL has also won the favor of many webmasters due to its ease of use. Windows is a famous visual operating system, and IIS is a Windows-based web server that can use ASP./. NET Two programming languages have been developed, and ASP.NET is the most widely used now.

Main failure factors

⟹ First, the lack of information. Incomplete signal reception or unstable signal propagation can lead to incomplete information.
⟹ Secondly, information overload. Bandwidth limit or maximum response limit for a service request.
⟹ Third, the computer room environment. The configuration of the computer room environment, such as ventilation conditions, fire conditions, air conditioning, etc., these external factors can also affect the stability of the server.
⟹ Fourth, hacking. Hackers are becoming more and more popular, and servers must be equipped with high-performance firewalls and the necessary anti-virus software.
⟹ Fifth, hardware failure. For example, hard drive failure, network card failure, etc. So there must be a fallback.
⟹ Sixth, safety management errors. For example, fire, equipment damage caused by human error, etc.
⟹ Seventh, force majeure factors. For example, wars, earthquakes, floods, etc.

Network bandwidth and traffic of your server

Bandwidth is one of the important factors that determine the access speed of a host. Especially for sites with a lot of visits, the size of the network bandwidth is extremely important. Traffic is really...
