The 8-core CPU configuration has exceeded the standard of general Web servers. When processing video scheduling, database response, and transcoding requests in PHP, Python, or Node.js environments, there are sufficient thread resources to support multi-tasking operations. The 16GB memory also provides sufficient space for operating system operation, Web middleware, database services, and cache services.

　　For small video sites, if Nginx + PHP + MySQL + FFmpeg is used as the basic environment for low-to-medium concurrent content services, this resource can fully meet the initial operation requirements. If combined with reasonable program logic and content distribution strategies, this configuration can even support on-demand content services (non-live broadcast) with millions of daily visits.

　　The key to the operation of video sites lies in bandwidth. If the site provides high-definition video content (such as 720p or 1080p), then the 10Mbps export bandwidth will undoubtedly become the main limitation. A simple conversion is as follows:

　　A 720p video stream takes up about 1.5~2Mbps; a 1080p video stream takes up an average of 3~4Mbps; if it is real-time playback, 10Mbps can only theoretically serve 23 1080p users or 56 720p users at the same time.

　　Obviously, without CDN or P2P distribution mechanism, 10Mbps raw bandwidth alone is difficult to support medium-scale video access. Especially during user peak hours or sudden traffic growth, the site is prone to freezes, buffer delays or playback failures.

　　To run a stable video site under the 8H16G10M configuration, a targeted architecture design is required:

　　1. The recommended operating system is Linux system (such as Ubuntu 22.04, CentOS 7/AlmaLinux 8), which has small system resource usage and good software environment compatibility.

　　2. Web service stack construction:

　　Web Server: Nginx (lightweight and efficient);

　　Application language: PHP-FPM (such as ThinkPHP, Laravel) or Node.js;

　　Database: MySQL/MariaDB, it is recommended to optimize the connection pool and index;

　　Cache layer: Redis, used to accelerate the response of popular video information and user requests;

　　Media processing: FFmpeg, supports background automatic transcoding, cover image generation, segmentation, etc.;

　　Front-end player: Use Video.js, DPlayer, etc. to support multi-bitrate and bullet screen functions.

　　3. Video storage and call strategy: Storage uses a local disk + object storage hybrid mode; video calls use HLS format encapsulation to reduce resource loading pressure;

　　4. Security and stability optimization, regular backup of database and video index information, use HTTPS certificates to encrypt all requests, limit current and prevent brushing, and set up anti-hotlink to protect video resources, firewall configuration and DDoS cleaning service access.

　　In summary, the Hong Kong cloud server with 8H16G10M configuration has certain feasibility in building a video station, but the premise is to make a reasonable system design and content distribution strategy. Its CPU and memory resources are sufficient to carry low and medium concurrent user access, and bandwidth, as the main bottleneck, needs to be supplemented by CDN, transcoding, and caching mechanisms.

　　If you are planning a video business, have a limited budget, and want to quickly launch and verify the product, then this configuration is undoubtedly a cost-effective choice. After the business scale expands, it is also necessary to upgrade the bandwidth, access object storage and CDN in a timely manner to achieve elastic expansion of services.
