Introduction
The first technical decision when building a virtual world is: where to deploy it? 创世虚拟世界CRM supports three deployment methods — local PC, cloud server, and hybrid solution. Each option has its own pros and cons; choosing the right one saves time and effort, while the wrong choice leads to endless follow-up troubles. This article helps you clarify your thinking.
Option 1: Deploy on Local PC
Suitable for individual geeks, internal use by small teams, testing and development environments. Advantages include zero additional cost (no need to purchase a server), complete physical isolation of data, and extremely low latency. All you need is a computer that stays powered on. The downside is that external network access requires port mapping or intranet penetration configuration, and the service is interrupted when the computer is shut down. Recommended for: Entrepreneurs testing the waters, internal collaboration teams, and functional testing phases.
Option 2: Deploy on Cloud Server
Suitable for externally operated virtual worlds that require 24/7 online access and are open to the public. We recommend starting with a 2-core 4G configuration from Alibaba Cloud or Tencent Cloud (monthly fee: 100-300 RMB). Advantages include direct access via public IP, stable 7×24 operation, and elastic scalability. Deployment is completed remotely by us; you only need to provide the server account. Recommended for: Externally operated virtual exhibition halls, virtual communities, and brand metaverses.
Option 3: Hybrid Deployment
Local development and debugging + formal operation on cloud server — this is the practical path for most customers. First build, test, and adjust scene content on a local PC, then migrate the entire system to the cloud server for launch once satisfied. The advantage is a combination of low-cost trial-and-error and high-reliability operation; zero cost during the development phase, and stable and reliable operation after launch.
Cost Comparison Overview
| Option | Server Cost | External Network Access | Stability | Suitable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local PC | 0 RMB/month | Requires configuration | Interrupted when shut down | Individual/Internal Testing |
| Cloud Server | 100-300 RMB/month | Direct access | 99.9% | External Operation |
| Hybrid Solution | 0 RMB for development + 100-300 RMB/month for operation | Flexible | High | Pursuing Control |
Option Comparison: Private Deployment vs Platform Rental
| Comparison Dimension | Platform Model (SaaS) | Private Deployment (创世虚拟世界CRM) |
|---|---|---|
| Data Sovereignty | Data stored on platform servers, ownership ambiguous | Data is on your server, fully autonomous |
| Cost Model | Monthly/annual payment, cumulative long-term cost is high | One-time deployment investment, extremely low long-term cost |
| Function Customization | Standard templates, fixed functions cannot be modified | Completely free customization, expand on demand |
| Brand Independence | Restricted by platform brand and tone | Independent brand image, fully autonomous design |
| User Ownership | Users belong to the platform, you are just a tenant | Users are yours, data is yours, relationships are yours |

Frequently Asked Questions
What technical foundation is required to build a virtual world?
None. The system provides a graphical management backend and AI construction functions, enabling zero-code daily operation. The B package includes deployment services; we will take care of everything for you, and you can use it directly by opening a browser.
Can I modify scenes and content myself after deployment?
Absolutely. The graphical scene editor supports drag-and-drop operations, and AI construction can generate scenes with a single sentence. For those with technical foundations, the source code is open for secondary development.
How much does it cost? What's the pricing model?
The reference price for the B package (program + deployment + 3 months after-sales service) is 499-1500 RMB, which is a one-time investment, not an annual fee. You can choose a cloud server with a monthly fee of 100-300 RMB, or deploy it on your own PC for zero-cost operation.
Is the data secure?
The system is deployed on your own server, and 100% of the data is in your hands. We do not touch, store, or view any of your data. This is the core value of private deployment.
