VPS / VDS Hong Kong on Windows, Linux, Ubuntu, ISO, CentOS and other operating systems are needed to promote projects for Asian countries. Virtual and dedicated servers in Hong Kong can host services of different types: gaming, Forex (trading, trading), 1C, 1C-Bitrix, and many others. Thanks to KVM-virtualization technology, reliable connection and stable operation is ensured regardless of "neighboring tenants". Other technologies can also be used: OpenVZ, VMware, Hyper-V.

Why do you need a virtual server in Hong Kong?

The advantage of virtualization is that there is no attachment to a specific location. Server equipment is placed in the most suitable data centers and successful locations. There is control over resource allocation, and most importantly, the hardware cost is reduced.

The technology of virtual servers also has another name - VPS/VDS. Therefore, renting VPS/VDS is very often flashed in the search engine, you have probably noticed it. VPS/VDS servers can be dedicated to business units or affiliated companies. Large organizations use this solution in order to consolidate multiple physical machines into a single entity or cloud hosting platform.

Developers who work in Turkey also have their own views on the technology: for example, with the help of a virtual server in Turkey it is convenient to deploy software, test specific software amongst others and conduct development. VPS/VDS is a safe and, most importantly, economical way to test different applications, software, services. You can connect to the server from anywhere in the world, which greatly simplifies teamwork.

Features of virtualization

Hosting companies offer tenants virtual servers, which were obtained as a result of virtualization by one of two technologies - hardware and software. OpenVZ (operating system level) and KVM (hardware). Let's take a closer look at each of them.

OpenVZ

Thanks to OpenVZ, you can create several mini-servers on one server. Their peculiarity is that they are isolated from each other, which means that if a problem occurs on one of them, it will not affect the others. Complete isolation guarantees stable and reliable operation of the virtual server.

OpenVZ virtualization is easy to use and easy to manage. The user is able to manage the rented server through the control panel. The client can also increase the capacity of the leased virtual server if desired. The client has the right to choose the operating system - Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu.

KVM

Another virtualization technology is Kernel-based Virtual Machine or KVM for short. This is a hardware-based way of virtualizing a physical machine that fully mimics the operation of a dedicated server. Each mini-server obtained through KVM virtualization receives a certain amount of RAM and hard disk space. This guarantees the stability and reliability of your leased solution, but the client will not be able to change the amount of RAM or HDD/SSD memory with a single mouse click, as it is possible in the case of OpenVZ.

The client has his own virtual server in Switzerland at his disposal, which he can customize and upgrade as he sees fit. This is a solution with a Linux kernel installed. But it is possible to install FreeBSD, Windows, and also any custom build. Taking into account the listed advantages of this technology, the tariffs of a virtual server with KVM are somewhat higher. However, they are still less than the rates of a dedicated server. Therefore, if you have a task to optimize costs and reduce expenses, renting a VPS/VVM in Switzerland will be appropriate in this regard.

Why rent VPS / VDS Hong Kong servers?

Hong Kong is a part of the People's Republic of China with a special administrative status. The reason is that until 1997 Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was under the administration of Great Britain. Western European investors, technologies and capital came here. As a result, in a short time Hong Kong became the center of economic life in China.

Today, outsourcing and product companies, IT startups and other projects come to Hong Kong. The population of Hong Kong is 7.5 million people. But the servers located here allow you to work not only with the Chinese market (1.5 billion inhabitants), but also with the whole of Southeast Asia.

The main advantages why you should rent VPS / VDS servers in Hong Kong:

1. The price is lower compared to Western European countries. This allows you to save money without losing quality. The reason for the low price is the loyal tax legislation on the territory of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
2. Promotion of projects to the Asian region market. Working with users from Japan, China, Thailand and other countries is easier when you have leased servers (normal ping is ensured).
3. Legal requirements. To work in the Chinese market, foreign companies need to comply with a number of legal requirements. Among them is the need to place servers on the territory of the PRC.
4. Stability, protection from leaks, confidentiality. Hong Kong is considered one of the most secure regions of China in terms of personal data protection.

For what projects is VPS / VDS rental in Hong Kong suitable?

Virtual Private Server or Virtual Dedicated Server is needed at different stages:

• development and testing;
• work in production;
• refinements, implementation of new features and so on.

Virtual servers in Hong Kong are needed for projects of different complexity, including:

• social networks, dating services, training and entertainment;
• trading platforms, solutions for professional trading (advisors, robots, etc.);
• commercial resources (aggregators, marketplaces, online stores), and many others.

VPS / VDS allow hosting projects of any complexity (from simple one-page sites to applications with a large amount of media content). At the same time, the system can be scaled up, i.e. more expensive tariff plans can be connected. If you have conducted a code-review and optimized the load, you can reduce the server capacity and choose a cheaper tariff.

Game server

Renting a VPS/VDS for a game server will give you all the necessary conditions and tools to run a game server - a stable communication channel, high uptime, effective protection from hacker attacks.

For mail servers

In addition to the mail server, UPU/VDS can also act as a solution for other corporate purposes. You can deploy accounting, project management and CRM applications.

For proxies

Using a virtual server to configure a proxy, the user solves three tasks at once:

• creates an anonymous connection;
• speeds up access to the network;
• protects against hacker attacks.

To change your real IP, you need at least one IPV4 or IPV6 address.

For telephony

The next option of using a virtual server is for telephony setup. By deploying a cloud PBX, you will greatly simplify the task of organizing telephony in the office. By integrating voice communication with Internet technologies and CRM it is possible to automate services and launch call analytics.

For video surveillance

If you want to organize round-the-clock video surveillance, the best solution for storing video records and organizing round-the-clock access to them is to rent a virtual server. As needed, you will be able to increase the capacity at any time.

For education

Rental of a virtual server is a justified solution for organizing and building the educational process. The server will be an ideal storage for competitive works, placement of educational materials, online classes.

Server to store personal data

If you prefer to save the resources of your own computer due to their limitations, then you should consider renting a VPS/VDS. You will save a lot of free space on your PC's hard disk, while still getting constant access to the uploaded information.

How VPS / VDS Hong Kong works and how it differs from hosting or physical server

Virtual / dedicated server in Hong Kong is an option for those who are faced with the lack of capacity of shared hosting, but at the same time do not want to overpay for a physical server (rent or build).

Different technologies are used for virtualization of VPS / VDS Hong Kong. We opted for Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). It has been known since 2012 and allows us to ensure:

• independence from "co-tenants" (neighbors whose projects are hosted on the same server);
• privacy, protection of personal data, special technologies to counter DOS attacks.

The client decides for himself which operating system to install (for example, CentOS, Windows Server, Debian, Ubuntu), which control panel to choose (cPanel, ISPmanager, DirectAdmin, Vesta CP), etc.

Backups (backups) are necessary to reduce the risk of data loss. This is important to ensure the safety of personal and corporate data.

What to do if the capacity of VPS / VDS Hong Kong is not enough for a large aggregator or ecommerce project? To ensure uptime, you can add RAM or change the characteristics of the hard disk. It is also often necessary to increase processing power by adding CPU cores.

VPS / VDS rental in Hong Kong is booked by product, outsourcing and commercial companies as well as individuals. To work, the system administrator receives root rights, which allow you to manage the content (install and delete files, update information, roll up the operating system, customize the environment and so on). Choose proven providers and service providers of virtual / dedicated servers.
