Cloud station address: /minisite/goods? userCode=se6p9xeg
The latest voucher amount and usage conditions are shown in the following figure:
2. Select the cloud server region.
There are both domestic and overseas servers in Alibaba Cloud, and there are many regions. The domestic regions include North China 1 (Qingdao), North China 2 (Beijing), North China 3 (Zhangjiakou), North China 5 (Hohhot), East China 1 (Hangzhou), East China 2 (Shanghai) and South China 1.
Note: In general, it is recommended to choose the data center closest to your target user's region, which can further improve the user's access speed. However, in terms of infrastructure, BGP network quality, service quality, operation and configuration of cloud servers, there is not much difference between Alibaba Cloud servers in mainland China.
3. Select the instance specification
Alibaba Cloud server instance specifications include * * * sharing type, general type, computing type, memory type, big data type, local SSD type, high frequency type, etc. Many novice users are often confused at first glance. If ordinary individual users and ordinary enterprise users don't have high requirements on the performance of the cloud server itself, they can choose * * * sharing type. If the budget is enough, we can consider general type and computing type. Here we take the general g5 instance as an example.
4. Select mirroring and storage.
Mirror refers to the operating system of the cloud server, and storage refers to the type and size of the cloud disk used by the system disk and data disk of the cloud server.
Note: If we can install the images of various environments and software selection systems needed for the project to run on the cloud server, it will take about 2-3 minutes for you to open your server and it will be a brand-new system without any other files.
If you don't want to toss, you can also choose one in the mirror market, which is free, paid, PHP-based and JAVA-based. After you buy the server, this mirror will automatically help you install the functions you choose, eliminating many configuration requirements, which is a good choice for novice users who can't configure the server.
5. Select the bandwidth
The bandwidth charging mode of Alibaba Cloud server can be divided into fixed bandwidth charging and usage charging. If it is a website with a small number of visits and irregular traffic, it is more appropriate to choose charging by traffic, which can not only save costs but also ensure the normal operation of the website or project. If it is a website with fixed traffic and a fixed traffic peak, it is more appropriate to choose to charge by fixed bandwidth.
Note: If you choose to charge by usage flow, you must always ensure that the account has a balance.
6. Set up security groups
In terms of security groups, users can choose to create a new security group at the time of purchase or set up a security group after purchase, but the security group must be set. Some users find that websites or applications are always unavailable after purchasing the Alibaba Cloud server, and finally find that the corresponding ports of the security group are not opened.
7. Set the cloud server login password.
The login password of the cloud server can be set at the time of purchase or after purchase. It is generally recommended that users set it at the time of purchase. After all, some novice users do not know how to set and change the login password of the cloud server.
Note: cloud server login password must contain three items (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, () ` ~! @#$%^& *_-+=|{}[]:; '< > ,.? /), where Windows instances cannot start with a slash (/).
8, the choice of purchase time.
There is a discount for the purchase duration of 1-5 years, but there is no discount for monthly purchase. It is recommended to choose annual payment. The latest preferential policies are:/kloc-0, 8.5% discount per year, 7% discount for 2 years, 5.5% discount for 3 years, 4.5% discount for 4 years and 3.5% discount for 5 years, as shown in the following figure:
Note: If we need to put on record, the purchase time must be longer than 3 months, otherwise we can't apply for the service number for filing.
9. Confirm the order and pay for the purchase.
Here, you can directly confirm the order and pay for the purchase, because we have received the universal voucher for cloud products from the official cloud station, and you will be reminded to use the voucher here. We just need to check the use voucher and select the voucher with the largest amount to deduct it, as shown in the following figure:
After the above steps are finished, wait for about 1-3 minutes, and we can see the information such as the IP of the Alibaba Cloud server that we chose to buy on the cloud server console.
In the actual purchase process, many novice users will choose to buy a cloud server through the ongoing activities in Alibaba Cloud. After all, the price of the activities is much cheaper.
