"Noah's Ark is here, have you bought tickets on your website?"

Bombing advertisements on the whole network, almost every netizen who goes online will see this sentence.

Although Noah's Ark's product launch has not yet been held, it has aroused strong curiosity!

Many newspapers and media have also begun to report on this!

Bob Gallagher, CEO of the company, is full of confidence. He said that Noah's Ark will definitely soar this time!

It didn't take long before December 1st. Many people came to the product launch of Noah's Ark Company, including IBM, Apple, and Microsoft, who sent their respective company representatives to come!

On the exhibition stand, the lights are shining. The floor is covered with a red carpet, and the background wall is a projection cloth. A web Ark-1 was placed in the most central position, but at the moment it was blocked by a red cloth.

It's almost time for the launch, and Bob Gallagher walks onto the stage confidently in a neat suit!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Noah's Ark Company's product launch!" Bob Gallagher talked to hundreds of viewers, "Although I am handsome, there are still many people who don't I know me. So, in order to let everyone know me as a handsome guy, I will introduce myself first. Ahem... my name is Bob Gallagher, and I am unmarried... So, if there are beautiful women who like me, please remember to contact me privately. Oh me! Well, just kidding everyone!!"

Bob Gallagher was humorous, then walked to the center of the exhibition stand, put his right hand on the red cloth, and said, "Have you seen this thing on the stage, are you very curious?"

Bob Gallagher did not immediately lift the red cloth, but instead said: "I believe everyone has seen the sentence 'Noah's Ark is here, have you bought tickets on your website?' on the Internet! That's right, we Noah The product launch of Ark is related to the website. As we all know, you need a computer with excellent performance to open a website. But the current supercomputer is too expensive, and ordinary computers are easy to cause the website to crash. Therefore, we Noah's Ark specially developed A product for the website company to solve this trouble!"

"Now, it's time to unveil this mystery!" Bob Gallagher said, and immediately lifted the red cloth, revealing the Ark One of the Web.

People first thought that this thing was very similar to a computer, but it was bigger than an ordinary computer.

"This thing is called a web server, a special type of computer designed and served for the web. Compared with general-purpose computers, it has great advantages in terms of processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability. It is many times stronger in all aspects! With it, you don’t have to worry about the website crashing easily. It is made for the website!!!”

Then, Bob Gallagher explained and demonstrated.

Many people in the audience built websites, and some of them crashed. The emergence of web servers is undoubtedly a boon.

Generally speaking, they need to use supercomputers to build their websites, otherwise, if there is a lot of traffic, the website will be delayed. But supercomputers are expensive, and ordinary companies can't afford them! A supercomputer can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is cheap. If it is expensive, there are tens of millions of dollars.

"Now some people may ask, how much is your web server? Hehe, I can tell you, it is much cheaper than the supercomputer you are using now! Well, I don't give you any appetite anymore, its price is only ten $10,000! You heard that right, just $100,000!!! For $100,000, you can have a web server that is comparable to a supercomputer! So if you need to build a website, buy a web server server!!!"

"In addition, our company will also set up a server hosting department to provide hosting services for major websites, that is, you can rent our web server for money. And the hosting fee is not expensive, only $2,500 per month!"

Finally, Bob shouted "Noah's Ark is here, please hurry up and buy tickets on the website" to end the product launch.

After the press conference, three companies placed orders, each of which ordered a Web Ark One. Five other companies applied for escrow services. In the following month, people called the company every day to inquire about the situation. Although not many web servers were sold, there were many websites applying for hosting, a total of more than 20.

On November 31, 1987, the number of global websites exceeded 10,000!

According to the statistics of the domain name management company, the number of domain names applied for today has exceeded the 10,000 mark, and the number of websites should soon reach 10,000! Even if only one-fifth of the website is hosted by Noah's Ark, Noah's Ark can make a lot of money!

Generally speaking, those who buy servers are rich companies, but there are more who have no money. In the Internet world, 20% of companies buy their own servers, and 80% of companies find specialized hosting institutions. So, the hosting market is still huge! Only selling servers, Noah's Ark may not make much money in the early stage. Although the hosting business is not much money, it is expensive in the long run and can make money continuously.

In order to make Noah's Ark grow faster, Nicholas Group and Cisco have made a second round of financing, investing $10 million together. Noah's Ark is going to build more than a dozen substations in the United States, and each substation will build a hosting library. Ten web servers are placed on each hosting repository. For websites with very poor traffic, one web server is enough for eight or nine. However, limited by the transmission speed of the network, it is better to host less than 50 websites for a hosting library. If there are more, the server will be fine, but the network is likely to be blocked. In the end, the website will be delayed to death!

However, considering that the US Science Foundation Network has begun to speed up, it will take less than a year or two to increase the speed of the network! By then, Noah's Ark will surely usher in explosive development.

Once Noah's Ark developed, Henry felt that cloud storage, cloud computing, and big data could take the lead. Now engaging in hosting is equivalent to owning other people's data. Although data theft is immoral, there is no morality in business. This is also the frustration of some small companies...

In addition, since the web server has been developed, servers with other functions can also be developed. Big companies like IBM have developed supercomputers, let alone servers. In the past life, IBM's servers were very powerful! Noah's Ark made a time lag, took advantage of IBM's not yet entered the server industry, quickly grabbed the market, and strived to become the world's best server company! (vote……)
