Small and medium-sized enterprise website construction, the budget is generally 5000 to 30,000. What is the main part of it?
Many people think it is development cost, but it is not necessarily so. If an open-source CMS is used, the development cost can be greatly reduced.But the server and maintenance costs are long-term expenses, and after three years, they may be higher than the development costs.
I calculated an account with real data.
Scenario setting
Assume that a small and medium-sized enterprise needs to build a website, with daily PV reaching 50,000 and average daily IP about 15,000.
Website content: 50 categories, 2000 articles, 200 product pages, 500 images.
Page type: Home, Category list page, Article detail page, Product detail page, About us, Contact information.
Cost of WordPress solution
Server
A WordPress website with 50,000 daily page views can't handle a 2-core 4G server.When concurrency is high, there will be delays. Adding cache can improve it, but problems will still occur when the cache expires.
A stable configuration is 4 cores 8G, plus Redis cache.
4-core 8GB server: approximately 400 yuan/month, 4800 yuan/year. Redis: If it is a cloud database Redis, it is about 200 yuan per month, 2400 yuan for a year. SSL certificate: Free Let’s Encrypt, 0 yuan.
The first-year server fee is: 4800 + 2400 = 7200 yuan.
