Media Temple 更新了Grid Service服务

最近都没有去关注Media Temple了,早上看到Media Temple Weekly,发现他们推出了新版的Grid主机,就是传统的shared hosting。

1、价格比独立服务器还贵。

新的Grid根据可使用的资源数量分为三种套餐,Grid Pro,Grid Ageny 和Grid Agency+,每月的价格分别是30刀,150到和350到,如果超过了这些资源,还可以购买网站数、流量和带宽。

2、提供了不少新的功能。

旧款的Grid Service使用的存储,不是SSD,新的全部使用SSD,并且增加了CDN、备份、网络防火墙等功能。尤其是备份,提供了30天的自动备份,比较使用。

最低的套餐都要30刀,越来越贵族了……我是不是该挪窝了?

CPU科普篇

Intel 笔记本CPU后缀

一般来说,Intel在笔记本处理器上共有U、Y、H、M、Q和X这几种分类,并且这些字母可以自由组合。具体含义如下:

  • U代表低电压,TDP为15W;
  • Y代表超低电压,TDP为10W;
  • H代表的是BGA封装,也就是直接焊接在主板上,无法更换;
  • M代表的是标准电压产品,TDP每一代可能都不一样,但一般都是30W以上,也是最主流的产品;
  • Q代表的是四核,在笔记本中,i7可不一定都是四核心的,不乏双核心四线程的产品,不过一般都属于低电压或者超低电压系列;
  • X代表的是旗舰级,一般都是四核心八线程产品。
  • K代表不锁倍频。
  • P代表无核显。
  • S代表低功耗版本。

如何导出iPhone照片视频

iPhone的操作经常不按套路出牌,在一些方面,它的应用确实很方便,但是如果要导出iPhone的照片到电脑上,那还真有点麻烦。可以直接连上USB口导出,也可以通过一些APP备份到网上,然后下载,下面介绍几种导出照片到电脑的方法,以及他们的利弊。

直接连接USB端口导出

连接USB端口导出有两种方法,一种是右击iPhone设备,选择“导入图片和视频”,然后根据系统的提示一步一步导出,另一种就是双击iPhone的图标,打开资源管理器模式,选择需要的照片,然后导出。

iphone, 导出, 图片

这两种方法,确实很简单,但是也有问题。用导出模式的时候,会把所有的图片或(和)视频都导出来,不能选择性导出;如果用资源管理器模式,那么你又找不到最新的图片在哪个文件夹里,我的iPhone中有好几十G的图片,下图是iPhone中DCIM文件夹下的子文件夹,并且是无序的,最新拍的照片不一定在排在最后面的文件夹中。

压力测试工具:Loader

压力测试工具地址:https://loader.io/

以前在日志《12款在线网站速度和性能测试工具》中介绍过Load Impact在线压力测试工具,今天再给大家介绍一款:Loader。Loader分为免费版和付费版,免费版在测试过程中,有测试时间,测试页面数,模拟访客数量的限制。不过,对于绝大部分的虚拟主机或者VPS来说,免费版提供的额度可以说是破坏性测试了。

不同于Load Impact,Loader在进行压力测试之前,需要我们对网站进行验证,上传一个txt文件到根目录下,或者添加DNS解析,证明我们对网站的所有权,避免利用其工具对其他网站进行DDos攻击。

Loader对于免费用户有如下的限制:

  • 每次最多10,000个连接
  • 一个主域名

FAQ of Media Temple WordPress Hosting

There are a lot of questions and answers about Media Temple WordPress hosting from its knowledge base, but those may not meet your demands. Here is a list of frequently asked questions and answers I collected during my testing of its Managed WordPress hosting, it may helped to you.

How Many Visitors Could Media Temple WordPress Hosting Handle

From the beta version to officially released version, there is no precise bandwidth or CPU resources limits set to Media Temple WordPress hosting solutions. I contacted the support team and got an answer to that question:

There are no individual resource or RAM limits for sites. The WordPress Hosting service is a shared service, so your sites share the resources of a network of servers with other customers. We personally will take no action (if you exceeded the 400,000 visitors limit of your Personal package in a month), but it is likely that you may encounter performance issues on the site.

In other words, for now, before Media Temple update their WordPress hosting packages limits, your sites can handle as many visitors as you can. If you have a WordPress site which have more than 1,000,000 visitors per month, Personal package is also suitable.Don’t worry about the limits, start produce more high quality contents for your visitors, as a managed service, Media Temple will solve all problems for you.
