Vultr Deploy a Server select server type 1

1- Select the host type, only "Shard CPU". The other types are less suitable for regular websites and are several times more expensive.

2/3- Choose the region and specific location of the server room, according to their own business situation, try to choose the closest server room to the customer. If you are in the global market, it is recommended that you choose the U.S. server room.

If the business scope is global selectionUnited States (America) Region. U.S. network construction is better, global access speed are fast suitable for foreign trade B2B sites, cross-border e-commerce sites. The business scope is specific to the country / region to choose the closest to the region's server room (for example, the British market to choose the London server room).

Los Angeles (USA) machine room to the mainland of the fastest link speed, many people will choose it to build a website in the country, especially to build ladder software. Because too many people pile up in this room will lead to many problems, such as SSH often can not connect, ip is blocked, and occasionally the network is very slow. Plus it is the only one that has failed several times before so it is not recommended to build foreign trade websites. We will generally choose the Silicon Valley server room, it is recommended that the first speed test to choose the most suitable for their own network server room.

Note: Often some servers (e.g. 2H2G) are sold out in some server rooms, so switch between several server rooms to find the right configuration.

It is not recommended to choose Japan / Singapore machine room, the daytime speed can be, but at night the packet loss serious very card. Tokyo / Singapore room is not directly connected, you need to detour the United States and then to Japan / Hong Kong and then to the mainland, but the speed is not as fast as the Los Angeles room.

4- Select the CPU type, it is recommended to select the third "High Performance", the best performance, the highest configuration package is only 12H24G. if you need more hard disk space, or higher configuration package, choose the second "High Frequency".

See the difference between different CPU types (click to expand/contract)

There are 3 CPUs available on the purchase page above, the first one Cloud Compute The worst performance, the hard disk using a slightly worse speed SSD, the price is also a little bit cheaper, only this CPU type has a 0.5G memory package; the second one High Frequency (HF server) is the HF server of the old package; the third High Performance (High-performance servers) are later new servers with the best performance.

The performance and bandwidth of High Frequency is a little bit lower than High Performance, but the hard disk space is a little bit bigger.

In order to compare the performance of the latter 2 CPU types of servers, Xiaodi opened 3 servers individually to install the Pagoda panel score test, the following chart of theHigh Performance - AMD(High Performance Server) has the best and most stable performance and is recommended for building websites.

Here are the previous 3 different CPU host runs (data based on 2023, data subject to change)↓:

5- Select CPU manufacturer, recommendedAMD, using the EPYC series, which outperforms Intel's Xeon series.

AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon performance comparison (click to expand)

The following answers are fromDeepSeeks AI, Diamo also found AMD EPYC to perform better after 2+ years of use.

Multi-core performance and parallel processing capabilities
AMD EPYC: With the Zen architecture's high core count design (e.g., the fourth-generation EPYC 9754 has 128 cores), it performs significantly better in multi-threaded tasks (e.g., virtualization, big data analytics, scientific computing). For example, in the SPECrate® 2017 integer test, the EPYC 9654 can deliver up to 1.6x the performance of the Intel Xeon 8592+. In addition, EPYC supports higher memory bandwidth and PCIe 4.0/5.0 interfaces for highly concurrent data processing and storage-intensive applications.
Intel Xeon: Stronger single-core performance and higher mainframe frequency for scenarios that require high single-threaded responsiveness (e.g. real-time database queries, lightweight virtualization). However, in terms of multi-core performance, the number of cores of Xeon is generally less than that of the same generation of EPYC, for example, the sixth generation of Xeon Platinum 8592+ has a maximum of 64 cores, while EPYC 9654 can reach 96 cores.

Energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness
AMD EPYC: Outstanding in terms of energy efficiency ratio, SPECpower_ssj® tests show that EPYC systems are 2.25 times more energy efficient than Xeon. Its high core density and low-power design (e.g., 3x lower power consumption per core) make it particularly suitable for large-scale data centers that are sensitive to power costs.Intel Xeon: Although it consumes more energy, it has a stable performance in terms of energy efficiency in specific scenarios (e.g., encryption tasks that rely on Intel-optimized instruction sets), and has a more mature platform compatibility, making it suitable for enterprise-level applications that require long-term stability.

Typical Application Scenario Recommendations
Choose AMD EPYC: High-density virtualization, cloud computing, AI training, large-scale data analytics (e.g. Hadoop, Spark).
Scenarios where budget is limited but high performance multi-core is required (e.g., small to medium sized enterprise servers).

Choose Intel Xeon: Single-threaded sensitive tasks (e.g., high-frequency trading systems, relational database OLTP).
Rely on Intel proprietary optimized enterprise software (e.g., certain ERP systems).

6- Choose the configuration, according to your website.

See how to choose the right configuration (click to expand/contract)

Remember to select the third CPU type "High Performance", select AMD for the CPU, and here are the configuration suggestions. No need to consider the bandwidth, the minimum 1T is very large. Although the hard disk capacity is generally enough, also pay attention to the next.

How many websites a server can run smoothly has to do with system optimization, website optimization, website visits, the website itself is light/heavy, and the number of websites, here is the average public situation given the suggestion.

Web site complex / large number of visits / budget enough to buy a high point configuration, it is best to find people to optimize the site and hosting, cost-effective as well as the best results; know how to optimize the technology / did not use heavy plug-ins / OpenLitespeed / not much access to multiple sites can choose a low point of the configuration, the later bottlenecks and then upgrade the configuration.

Tips: 1) After 10 minutes of turning on the machine has not been able to connect to SSH, the IP address may be blocked, check the following tutorial to deal with it; 2) Using SSH to install the Pagoda need to close the ladder software, otherwise you may not be able to open/login the Pagoda panel after installation.

New deploy server

This is the end of the Vultr purchase tutorial, the following 2 actions will be performed according to your situation. For tutorials on how to use Vultr, please go to the bottom of the page.

Check if IP address is blocked (click to expand/contract)

If you want to check the ip address of the server to see if it is blocked domestically (Wait 10 minutes after the new server is configured before pinging it), follow the tutorial below.

Foreign inexpensive servers will be used by some people to take the ladder software, resulting in some servers ip address by the domestic Great Firewall (GFW) shield. We have a customer server ip address is blocked, resulting in not over the wall to log on, but also can not use some of the functions of the domestic plug-ins, change the ip after the return to normal. So it is necessary to ping the ip first, ping can not be rented a host (or change ip).

Existing serversrefrain fromDelete it first! Turn on the new server and test it before deleting it. Deleting first and then opening a new host will assign the same IP address you used before, for nothing.

Ping method: Right click the Windows logo in the lower left corner of your computer > click "Run" > type "cmd" and press "OK".

cmd

Enter the screen below and type ping+space+your server ip address (red box below) and press enter.

image 45

If the prompt is the same as the figure below, 0 is lost, and the round trip time is more than 100ms, it means that it can ping through and the ip is not blocked.

ping ip pass

If you get the same message as below, "request timeout" or 100% is lost (must be 0 loss means no problem), there is a high probability that the ip is blocked, follow the above steps to rent a new server.

ping ip address

If your server has already built a website or something that you don't want to discard, you can change the IP to unblock it and keep the data at the same time. Below is the official method of changing IP address given by Vultr, which can be used for testing. The approximate method is 1- take a snapshot backup of the previously rented server (see the backup section below for specific methods), the serverrefrain fromDelete first;

2- Rent a new server and select Snapshot in the step of selecting system, it will show the snapshot backup that was done before, click to select it, other registration steps remain unchanged. After renting a new server, you will have all the content of the old server, including websites, pagoda panels and so on. As long as the domain name is resolved to the new server's IP, you can continue to use the previous URL/account to log into the website, pagoda panel and so on. After testing the new server, remember to turn off and delete the old server to avoid overcharging.

Running scores for the server at Pagoda Templates (click to expand/contract)

For various reasons, even if the same configuration, the same room, while renting the server performance will be inconsistent! It is recommended that after the server is rented, do not build the environment and so on, immediately install the score software to run the score test.

If the pagoda panel build, after installing the pagoda first do not install LNMP and other environments, first go to the 1 software store to install the following runtime software, check the runtime.

4) Upgrade server configuration

First, click into the "Products" section, click on the corresponding server in the server list interface, and then go to "Setting" > "Change Plan", as shown in the figure below.green boxFor the host's current package configuration, select the target package configuration in the red box, and click the "Upgrade" button to upgrade the configuration.

If there are not enough hosts left in the server room with available packages, you will be prompted that you cannot upgrade. In this case, you need to copy the server to another server room with the package before upgrading. Method: Take a snapshot backup of the host first and then open the new host, select the snapshot backup of the old server in the operating system, select the server room with the target configuration package and then open the host. After the new host is opened, remember to resolve the website domain name above the host to the IP address of the new server.

5) Data backup

Be sure to do data backups! It is recommended that both site backups (UpdraftPlus) and server backups be done. In-site backups are free and can restore specific data for a specific site alone, Snapshots backups can restore the entire server even if the server is deleted/damaged (forgotten to renew and deleted or hacked) and have the highest security. Kryptonian players are recommended to choose Backup backup for server backups, while civilian players choose Snapshots backup. Panel (pagoda) backup will take up hard disk space and is not recommended.

 

Server Backup (chargeable)

Vultr server backups are divided into Backup backups and Snapshoots snapshot backups, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Backup Backup
Backup is easy to understand, is to automatically backup the entire server on a regular basis, retain several copies of backup data, when you need to restore the server, click the corresponding time period of the backup data can be automatically restored, the advantage of automatic backup is very convenient, the disadvantage is the high price.

Backup price is approximately 20% of the monthly server price. 6 USD/month package server automatic backup price is about 1.2 USD/month, 120 USD/month server package automatic backup price is 24 USD/month. And so on.

image 35

 

Snapshots Snapshot Backup
Snapshots (hereinafter referred to as snapshot backups) are manual backups that require you to manually tap on the backup yourself in order for it to be backed up. It is billed according to the total size of the backup package, $0.05 per GB. The advantage is that it is cheap, but the disadvantage is that you need to backup manually. Click "Snapshots"Go to the backup screen below.Enter a random name in Label and click "Take Snapshot" to start the backup.

image 36

After backup, the backed up data is displayed at the bottom of the page. You can delete the backup and restore the data via backup. Be sure to back up regularly to avoid data loss. We are manually backing up at least once a week and keeping several backups to save money and be safe.

image 38

One of our servers only hosts 2 new sites, although there are no articles and products but the snapshot backup out of the data has 4.24GB, a month to pay $0.212. Usually a small to medium sized website should have 200~400M articles + product images.

2 normal sites should be backed up with about 5G of data and the snapshot backup cost is $0.25 per month. For the same server with Backup backup, the monthly backup cost is $2.40. Snapshot backups are much less expensive. It is recommended that you should always take snapshot backups regularly and remember to delete old backups to save money.

The advantages of server backup are the highest security and the most comprehensive backup. Even if the server is deleted, all data can be restored, including the operating system.

The disadvantage is the lack of flexibility, the recovery can only be done for the entire server, you can not select a specific site individually for recovery. If there are multiple sites on the server and one of them is corrupted, the data of the other sites will also be recovered through server recovery.

 

Admin Panel Backup (free)

If you have installed a server administration panel such as Pagoda, you can backup/restore your website directly in the administration panel. The panel backup is free and you can backup/restore a website or database individually. The disadvantage is that you may not be able to restore the data if the server is deleted or you cannot login to the admin panel, and the security is not as high as server backup.

How to backup Pagoda: Go to Scheduled Tasks > Select the website to backup and the backup content to fill in the task name and click Add Task to complete the automatic backup. Database and website content cannot be backed up at the same time, you need to create a new backup task to back up database separately.

Through the panel backup, the hard disk space will be exponentially consumed very quickly, if at this time and then back up in the server, the data is very large, repeat backup. So it is recommended to backup only in one place, if it is a panel backup, it is best to backup to a network disk or COS object storage, and the backup interface selects to delete the local backup.

Pagoda Panel Backup Website

 

Site backup (free)

We install all our clients' websitesUpdraftPlus The Backup plugin automatically backs up website data on a regular basis toOneDrive (5G free space), theGoogle Drive(15G free space) and other free web sites with one-click recovery. And you can backup/restore database, themes, plugins, etc. separately.

Vultr is more suitable for use to do more websites or high performance requirements of large/complex sites, low configuration Vultr to build simple static small sites is fine, but to optimize the server configuration, do not mess with the installation of so many complex plug-ins.

After adjusting the preload frequency, the situation improved, but still stuck, and the server returned to normal after adjusting and removing the unused CSS frequency.

Suddenly the website does not open

If the entire site, including the Pagoda backend, won't open, it's usually because the server was deleted by the merchant after being in arrears for too long (a month or so). Log in to the Vultr.com server background, go to Make a Payment or History under the Billing section to check your balance. If your account is closed when you log in or your billing balance shows "Owe", then you are in arrears and the site is having problems.

The content of the email as long as you say forget to renew the server was deleted, please help to activate the account we immediately charged in, customer service will be happy to help. Below is a sample email we wrote, you can copy and paste it directly and send it to us for reference only.

Dear Vultr,
My account (this email address) has been closed because I forgot to renew, can you please help activate it so I can pay the bill and restore my site.
Thanks in advance,

After the server is restored, an email notification will be sent (pay attention to check the email), immediately log in and fill the money in. Follow the tutorial above to reopen a server, select Snapshot in the step of selecting the system, it will show the snapshot backup completed before, click to select, other registration steps remain unchanged. After the new server is rented, it will have all the content of the old server, including websites, pagoda panels and so on. As long as the domain name is resolved to the new server IP, you can continue to use the previous URL to login/open the website, pagoda panel and so on.

If you have not made any backups on the server side before, the data will not be recovered. If you have backed up your data in the WordPress backend using a plugin like UpdraftPlus, directly open a brand new server, build a pagoda panel and a wordpress backend and then restore the data through a plugin like UpdraftPlus. Remember to resolve the domain name to the new server IP, the new server may be the same as the deleted server IP address.

 

Pagoda phpMyAdmin reports an error and cannot be used

This is a common problem, Pagoda phpMyAdmin is not compatible with PHP 8.x version (good sense of Pagoda -1), you need to install PHP 7.4 (PHP 8.x version do not have to uninstall), in phpMyAdmin inside the choice of PHP 7.4, restart the database and PHP on it.

PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.x can coexist, but for websites and the like, PHP 8.x performs better, and installing extensions is only possible with PHP 8.x.
