Beginners, afterHow to Build a WebsiteThe questions on this issue are really, far too many. So here, Naiba will explain againthe relationship and differences between cloud web hosting, VPS, and Baota Panel。

What are Cloud Web Hosting and VPS?

Regarding web hosting and VPS, Naiba previously wrote a separate article introducing them, so it won't be repeated here. Please refer to the previous article:#WebsiteBuilding#BeginnerQuestions The Difference Between Shared Hosting and VPS

What is Baota Panel?

From the Baota Panel official website, you can see its own introduction: a simple and easy-to-use server operation and maintenance panel. To explain, using Baota Panel allows you to easily install the environment needed for website operation. For example, if your website requires programs like PHP, MySQL, Apache, Nginx, Baota Panel installs them for you, eliminating the need for manual installation and configuration. Moreover, it's simple to use with a graphical panel interface; whatever you need to do, you can just click buttons in the Baota Panel backend to operate.

Easy-to-understand explanation

If we must put it in layman's terms (so that non-experts can understand), here's an example anyone can grasp. Think of building a website as finding a place to live. Think of web hosting and VPS as a rented room (basic decoration) and an independent apartment (bare walls). Then, Baota Panel is the decoration team (free). So their relationship is as shown in the diagram below.

Other website environment suites

Besides Baota Panel, there are other free one-click website environment packages (free decoration teams?). For example, the following: LNMP one-click package:https://lnmp.org/(No panel, command-line management mode, resource-efficient. Beginners might find it difficult, but it's actually very simple.) OneinStack:https://oneinstack.com/(Same as above, with higher update frequency and customizability. Many switch from LNMP to OneinStack.) LAMP one-click package:https://lamp.sh/(Same as above, the difference is it uses Apache as the web component, while LNMP uses Nginx.) Of course, if your technical skills are sufficient, you can also manually install each software one by one to set up the environment needed for the website, without using the above one-click packages. The effect is the same; it just depends on who does a better job decorating.
