We wish all programmers interesting and successful developments, and also remind you that there is an unlimited promo code *LL-WEBHOSTBIZ* for forums.thewebhostbiz users with a 40% discount on any and every ordered virtual server (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers)

Happy Internet Day, co-forum users!

The day of April 4th was chosen as it is the feast day of Saint Isidore of Seville.

Why him, you ask?

How to choose: a VPN application or a VPN server?

First, what does VPN mean?
VPN (Virtual Private Network) - technologies that allow you to get private access to the network, by changing the IP address and increasing privacy due to data encryption.

What types of VPN exist?
VPN can be divided into three main types: Public VPN service, Private server for VPN, and Private VPN server.

Let's find out which VPN is suitable for you, considering all their pros and cons.

A public VPN service is an application for your device with the possibility to choose the country and the VPN server you are connecting to.

"+"
- Usability: download, install and use.
- Free application (most often).

"-"
- Connection speed and quality: depends on the number of users connected to the server.
- Functional restrictions: the free period may be limited.
- Privacy risks: your data is not protected from leakage.
- The number of devices to connect is limited: each employee of the department needs to install a separate application.
- Technical support: most services either do not have it or it is available due to business hours.

Private server for VPN is your own server where you can set up a VPN.

"+"
- Consistent service and no "neighbors": it is available to you and those you grant access to.
- High privacy: “No-logs” policy - no data about your server operations is logged or stored.
- Ability to connect multiple devices, for example, for the entire department.
- 24/7 technical support.

"-"
- The service is paid (with a free trial period).
- Technical skills are required for the VPN configuring on a dedicated server.

Private VPN server is your own server, with a VPN, already configured.

"+"
- Consistent service, high confidentiality, the ability to connect multiple devices, 24/7 technical support - like a Private server for VPN.
- Easy to install (almost like a VPN application): the provider sets up the VPN for you on your private server.

"-"
- The service is paid (with a free trial period).

Conclusions:
1. Free applications do not guarantee your privacy and security of personal data.
2. Advanced solutions are accessible without technical skills.
3. You can choose the appropriate service according to your budget, needs, and technical background.

So, you can assess the usability and customization of the Private VPN server during the trial period with just two clicks: follow the link (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) and choose "Free 24h test". 24/7 technical support is available in Russian and English languages (telegram chat (https://t.me/LLHOST_Chat) or ticket (https://my.llhost-inc.eu/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=8)). Any electronic means and cards from anywhere in the world are accepted for payment.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/SPAM%20%20EN.png

This is definitely NOT SPAM, is this?

The world calendar is full of funny and, sometimes, very strange holidays. The IT industry is no exception. The first week of May is filled with interesting events based on unusual stories.

For example, May 3rd is considered spam text's "birthday". The story begins in 1978, when about 400 Arpanet users received the same advertising message from DEC, the electronics manufacturer. Nevertheless, the meaning of annoying advertising mailings became synonymous with "spam" in 1986. Dave Rhodes, with admirable tenacity, began promoting the new Ponzi scheme in emails that were compared to the ubiquitous ads of canned food SPAM (short for "Spiced ham") in the aftermath of the World War II.

Let's also remember the “love fever” that plunged the world on May 4th, 2000. The virus worm from a message with the subject “IloveYou” spread fantastically quickly: “love” messages were sent automatically to all contacts from the address book. Guinness World Records confirmed "I Love You" virus as the most destructive computer virus in the world. The assumed damage caused by "I Love You" worm is estimated at up to $10 billion.

Probably, this story also inspired “Intel” to declare World Password Day on the first Thursday of May. The idea of ​​the holiday is simple: all users are invited to pay attention to their online security and to update their passwords, as the majority of users still constantly forget those recommendations. The most common password in the world is "123456" and the shortest is just one character. People often use the same passwords for different accounts.

LLHOST INC. would like to thank all the subscribers. The “secret password” of the day - is the promocode “NOSPAM”. Enter it in the special field when ordering any virtual (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_server?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) (OVS) or VPN (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) server and get a 40% discount!*

Thank you all for your attention!

*Promo code can be applied for 3 periods of monthly billing cycle and will expire on May 15th, 2022.

VPN for your business: is it HYPE or a MUST?

The problem of data leakage and cyberattacks is one of the most relevant today. Not only huge corporations, but also small companies are at risk. According to VseVPN, the damage from cybercrime will reach 6 trillion dollars in 2022. Getting your own VPN server is the key solution and the first step to ensure your company security.

VPN has been used for years to provide secure access to the corporate systems, and the range of its advantages has increased exponentially. But why should a business consider these VPN solutions? The reasons are next:
1. To enhance your online privacy by Internet connection encryption.
2. To change your virtual location to bypass any regional locks.
3. To ensure the privacy of personal data, both yours and your customers.
4. To provide access to intranet websites and corporate systems, limited by the local network.
5. To increase protection of public Wi-Fi networks (cafes, airports, hotels, etc.), used while working remotely, but the risk of traffic interception is especially high.

A VPN server for business should have the following specs:
- a dedicated static IP address with a dedicated server (in most cases, IP address can be changed each time you connect to VPN, or be transferred to other users),
- multiple devices' accessibility (in this case, the company will have access to the register of websites visited by employees),
- flexible payment system (bank cards of any country and in any currency, as well as other payment systems, including cryptocurrency),
- free trial period of the server,
- guaranteed no-logs policy due to no client tracking.

A corporate VPN, even for a small business, is not as expensive as it might seem. You do not need to purchase expensive equipment, both server configuring and tech support are for free.

So, LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) offers VPN servers with ready-made solutions for fast and secure connection for any device running any OS (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android), for private use as well as corporate with 24/7 support. Kill switch function included will protect your customers' data by blocking all Internet traffic in case of a sudden disconnection from the network. Promocode “VPN4BUSINESS” guarantees a 40% discount for any Private VPN Server (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_server?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz).*

VPN servers save your company's reputation and prevent data breach legal issues due to advanced security protocols and dedicated servers. You can also run different countries market research and get access to regional blocked business services by changing your virtual location. In addition, your employees can connect to your servers and work remotely from anywhere in the world.

Do you really need a VPN for business? You have to decide. But in case you have employees working remotely, business documents are stored online, or you need to provide access to business systems available on your company's intranet only, then a VPN is a must for your company.

*Terms and conditions:
1. This discount can be applied for any Private VPN Server.
2. It is available for 3 periods of monthly billing cycle.
3. The promo code is valid until May 22th, 2022.
4. It is active for an unlimited number of users.

Who is watching us on the Internet?

Information technologies have been developing at blistering speed since the beginning of the 21st century. Everyone is talking about the need for the Internet in our life whether it is work or leisure, study, financial management or even getting quality medical care. Datareportal reports that the worldwide web has 4.8 billion users, which is 63% of the world's population. Their number is increasing by 700,000 new users every day.

The Internet offers incredible opportunities, but at the same time it is a tool of limitation for us. Our personal data and habits are logged. Most people do not take into consideration that all their network activities are not private at all. But even if you are not doing anything illegal, your privacy must be respected.

Both Internet security and confidentiality are such tricky subjects. Ondřej Vlček, CEO of Avast, believes that the ability to connect to the Internet safely is an important human right.

This article will highlight who has access to data about our actions on the Internet, and what can be countered with this.

Internet providers
They have access not only to the websites addresses you visit, but also to whom you write emails, what do you do on social networks. All your entered passwords can easily be tracked by an Internet service company.

Wi-Fi network administrators
All your interactions on the Internet are at a glance: websites, emails, social networks (even in Incognito mode).

Government organizations
Law enforcement may request data from your ISP about your online activities to prevent any cybercrime.

Operating Systems
The computer and phone OS also track your internet activity and location (in case the function is on).

Search engines
Search drives such as Google or Yandex collect data all the time your account is enabled, building your interests profile to personalize ads.

Websites
Many websites use cookies to track user traffic and activities, as well as ads campaigns promotion.

Applications
Most apps, both on your phone and on your computer, have access to your location, accounts, and email address by request in your privacy settings.

Hackers
Attackers use hundreds of tricks to get data of your personal accounts, bank cards, etc.

To avoid network stalking, you need to stop using computers and gadgets and, most importantly, the Internet in general, which is impossible for anyone of our time. And if minimizing vulnerability on the Internet seems something incomprehensible to you, then we, as developers of digital products, share all the knowledge and tools necessary for a comfortable and safe online experience. Following these tips, you can enhance the protection of your personal data on the Internet right now.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)
2FA is a sign-in verification feature with a code, thus creating an additional layer of security. It requires entering a one-time code from the SMS message received on your phone, to sign in your account.

Password Manager
This application is created for the safe storage of your passwords. Everyone has so many accounts nowadays that it is simply impossible to remember all the passwords. Using any password manager, only a password is enough (to enter the manager itself). Many of them have key generator features to create unique, difficult to crack passwords.

VPN server
VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted "tunnel" between your computer or phone with a server, so it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to intercept your traffic. If you connect to a public Wi-Fi network that is not password protected (or with an accessible password), you become vulnerable to traffic interception. Your own VPN server (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) enhances your Internet security, and allows bypassing geographic restrictions (see more about VPNs differences and use here (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-choose-a-VPN-application-or-a-VPN-server?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) and here (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/private-vpn-server-announce?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz)). Get connected using promo code STAYSAFE from LLHOST INC. and enjoy a 30% discount on any VPN server (this offer is valid until June 3rd, 2022, for three periods of monthly ordering).

Your online activities and interests are valuable data that can be used against you. It is your decision to protect your privacy or not, being armed with the knowledge and tools described in the article, in order to block access to your personal information from intruders as much as possible.

Stranger things or a nightmare of the streets in the 1980s.

Yes, we've been waiting for this too, and it's finally here!

The premiere of Stranger Things season 4, one of the most awaited TV shows of 2022 took place today.

In the summer of 2016, when the first season released, no one could have imagined how much we would love this mystical story about a girl with superpowers, role-playing children and otherworldly forces. As a result, the series awarded many times, six of which were Emmy Award.

The first volume of the fourth season is already available on Netflix. The remaining episodes can be watched since July 1st.

The brothers Duffer jokingly call it their “Game of Thrones” because of the abundance of storylines and special effects, thanks to which each of the nine episodes pleases us with a significant duration (more than 60 minutes). In addition, the creators shared that the mystery of why Hawkins is constantly becoming the epicenter of supernatural events will finally be revealed.

Netflix marked the premiere with the preview of the first episode of season 4, which the invited guests rated as “the scariest debut episode of the series.” Matt and Ross even hinted that Stranger Things could get a sequel or spin-off, outside the current plot and cast. It sounds tempting, because we are already prisoners of the Upside Down world, waiting for the dénouement of fantastic and confusing adventures of strange children.

LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) was also dragged to the alternate dimension. Crossing over the Upside Down world with the promo code “THEUPSIDEDOWN”* you can purchase any LLHOST INC. services with a 40% discount for three months. But remember, you can't spend more than two weeks being there, otherwise someone will appear who believes that we have already lost the new season. The first five players who enter his name ** in the promo code field will get a year of VPN for free to connect with the world!

* Valid only for the monthly billing period, expires on June 10th, 2022.
** In English, in all caps, valid only for the monthly payment period, expires on June 10th, 2022.


Little tip: If Netflix is blocked in your region, install a VPN (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) and enjoy watching your favorite series!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Stalkerware.%20EN.png

Smartphones as well as various gadgets play a great role in our everyday life. The variety of features and options opens up new opportunities, so voice calls take less than a half of the time we spend with mobile phones. At the same time, those features hide many risks, because the input data we bring into our devices is quite large.

To increase online security and privacy is one of LLHOST INC. key targets. That is why we bring it up again. We have posted an article earlier referring to the fact that many applications get access to your personal data (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Who-is-watching-us-on-the-Internet).

The most dangerous of them are spyware/stalkerware. What it is? How to recognize it and to prevent? What are the methods of protection? - those are our today's article about.

Stalkerware is malware that tracks and transmits data to a third party without the user’s consent and knowledge.

As a rule, such applications are covertly running in the background, without displaying any activity to the user. This is a direct violation of data privacy policy, and is legally considered virus software.

According to the NortonLifeLock research, the number of devices infected with spyware has increased by 63% in 2022. Russia, Brazil and the United States of America (USA) are the top three of the most affected countries in the world. In Europe, that top belongs to Germany, Italy and the UK.

Why is spyware so dangerous?
Eva Galperin, the Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), says that spyware is particularly harmful as our smartphones are an extremely rich data source.
These apps are capable of the following actions:
- track your location,
- listen and record your telephone conversations,
- get passwords to the social media accounts you access from your phone,
- browse photos and videos in the gallery,
- check your browser history,
- collect calendar info (scheduled meetings and events),
- and even read any messages (email, text messages), including messengers and social media!

You can download a stalker app disguised as applications with another functionality, including system ones, or install any application with embedded spyware. Please remember that you can be provided with a phone already affected by stalkerware.

How to detect a spy app on my device?
Stalkerware actively use the resources of the device to connect to the servers that control their work. Since they all are constantly running in the background, we have the following warning signs:
- strong heating of the device,
- unexpected battery drain,
- increase of mobile data usage,
- device malfunctions, system crashes, and device failures have become more frequent,
- unusual pop-up messages and notifications,
- location service is always turned on,
- personalized device settings change: new icons, search engine or home page,
- device runs out of space quickly.

How to protect your device from stalkerware?
There are few simple steps you can take to help users reduce the risk of spyware affecting your devices:
Password. Set up a strong password on your phone of at least 8 characters, consisting not only of letters, but also numbers. Don’t share them with anyone either! Change your password regularly, every few months.
Antivirus. Install an antivirus that can recognize the “spy”.
VPN service. Configure a VPN for your online privacy protection. Private VPN server (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) is able to anonymize user data by changing location and encrypting traffic.*
Applications. Download apps only from official sources, review the permissions of already installed applications.
Access. Do not leave your phone unattended. Your safety is up on you!

*VPN server from LLHOST INC. sets up in two clicks: install the application and download the configuration file you receive by email after placing an order.

Download Day or Mozilla Foundation Guinness World Record.

Hello forum mates!
Our publications cover a wide range of IT-related subjects. Today, let's remember June 17th, 2008, the official release date of Mozilla Firefox 3 browser, called Download Day 2008 (to specify, the last Firefox version is 101.0.1 released on June 9th, 2022). Why is this event so appealing to go back to after so many years? The thing is that Firefox has established a world record for the most downloaded program throughout the day. Guinness World Records controlled the increase in distribution downloads for 24 hours, which exceeded 8 million downloads. It took them several days to check the data, and just at the beginning of July they confirmed 8,002,530 downloads in 24 hours, which equates to 83 Tb of downloaded data with the transfer rate 20 Gbps. For comparison, Opera 9.50 has been downloaded 4.7 million times within five days of its release.

To celebrate the record, hundreds of parties were held worldwide, the Internet was filled with hashtags: #Firefox3, #DownloadFestival, #WorldRecord and #DownloadDay. Each participant received an award of gratitude from Mozilla. The top three most active participants included the United States (3,252,673 users), Germany (852,432) and Japan (533,369).

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/June2022/b4cefe40-17d9-410d-ba8c-3798f307664e1.png

As a result of this event, Firefox has become the most popular browser in the world, with a worldwide share of over 20%. That was until November 2011, when Google Chrome, according to StatCounter, for the first time in its history, took the lead in the global marketplace for web-compatible PC browsers.

We look forward to the time when LLHOST INC. register its world records. Our team works diligently on every project to ensure that the end product appeals to every client. And today we have prepared for you a promoсode applicable to any OVS plan (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz).

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/How%20to%20choose%20a%20VPS_%20EN.png

How to choose a VPS?

We have already covered what a VPN service is, what are the differences between a VPN application, Private Server for VPN and Private VPN Server, as well as their pros and cons. This article is on VPS: what they are for, how do they differ, and how to choose the right one.

VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a partitioned piece of a physical server that acts like its own server.
The technology looks like this: a physical server is divided into several partitions, and the server software is configured on each of them, that makes each virtual server work independently. This means that the power of each virtual server is determined by technical specs: RAM, disk space, processor, etc. and do not affect each other's performance in any way.

What is a virtual server for?
VPS servers can be used for different tasks such as:
• web development: design, develop, test and deploy software products;
• VPN service: install your own software and configure a VPN server to improve privacy and business information protection;
• online stores: a virtual server allows you to store a large amount of data and host loaded projects;
• Information portals: databases, mailboxes, etc. on a virtual server guarantee full management and security of users' personal data;
• video surveillance system: the best option for backing up a streaming video archive;
• remote desktop (RDP/VNC): a computer that can be accessed anywhere in the world from any device (laptop, tablet or smartphone);
• school portals: electronic control system and remote access to educational materials for all educational program participants;
• storage of personal data: place your photo, video, music, app archive with guaranteed privacy, as well as the ability to sync all used devices through one.

Pros and Cons of VPS.
"+":
• guaranteed resources,
• the ability to install your own software,
• flexible server settings,
• root access to the server.
"-":
• technical skills are required for the managing.

What will help you choose a VPS?
Those technical specs are important when choosing a server:
Storage
Determine the amount of uploaded data, considering all the projects deployed on the server (always with a margin, as your project will grow).
Storage technology
It can be HDD (Classic Hard Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive), which is faster and more productive.
Virtualization
The main types of VPS virtualization are OpenVZ and KVM. At LLHOST INC. VPS are represented by the OVS (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) (Optimized Virtual Servers) group based on KVM virtualization.
Memory (RAM)
It effects on the download speed: the larger the project, the more RAM is required.
Processor (vCPU)
Task speed depends on the server processor's performance: more processor cores are able to process more requests.
Operating System
Each OS has its own specifics, so it depends on your needs and habits.
Bandwidth
This is the amount of data your server can transfer over the internet per month. At LLHOST INC. any OVS plan includes unmetered bandwidth, which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you use.
Control Panel
There are Control Panels for the VPS service as well as Control Panels for hosting software.
The Control Panels for hosting software help you to manage your Linux hosting software through a web interface. You can install various software and launch websites on the server, build and manage databases. The VPS Service Control Panel is created to reinstall the operating system, reboot the server, and monitor the status of the server. LLHOST INC. offers VM manager by default, other control panels can be configured optionally.

In addition to these technical specifications, the following are equally important:
• a free trial period for assessing the quality of the server's power and capacity;
• data centers located as close to your area as possible;
• multilingual technical support available 24/7;
• ability to upgrade without downtime.

If you can't define your project requirements, first choose the minimum plan and check if it is sufficient for you, and if necessary, upgrade it.

Feel free to contact Sales Department (https://my.llhost-inc.eu/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1), or place your question in our Telegram chat (https://t.me/LLHOST_Chat).

As a summary, VPS is an excellent solution for many tasks in a variety of areas - from personal needs to large enterprises. It allows you to save on purchase and maintenance of a physical server. At the same time, you can install and configure any software you need, as well as upgrade your plan with extra disk space or a more powerful processor. Technical skills are required for server management. However, this issue can be easily solved by numerous step-by-step instructions.

Protect your server from hacking!

Online security is a top priority for each and every one of us. Every person or business can face a virus attack or servers’ hacking. This has implications related not only to data stealing or loss, but also to the power of your server that can be used to perform DDos-attacks on any other web resource.

For this reason, it is very important to pay as much attention to server security. Don't forget that when it comes to safety, it is not just a specific action, but a series of measures.

Today, let's discuss how to protect your server from hacking and secure all the data stored on it.

Services setup
OS and its default configurations contain a wide range of network services, from remote registry to print server service. Each service running on your server's operating system is an open port for attacks. Delete the unnecessary services you are not using. This keeps your server safe and increases its performance.

Software Update
Regular software updates are essential to secure the virtual server. The daily update of the OS, hypervisor, databases, apps, etc. removes all vulnerabilities identified by developers. However, we recommend that you check upgrades on a test server before installing it. This will allow to follow the impact of the new patches on the behavior of the associated programs.

Strong password
Do not use the same password on different services. We recommend that you change the default password of the control panel at the first authentication. Also send the address, login and password in separate messages if you need to pass the access passwords.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Use two-factor authentication, both to access the server control panel and to the server itself.

Firewall/Brandmauer
Setup firewall/brandmauer to filter traffic and control access to the network. It automatically protects vulnerable areas on your server from unauthorized communications and trespassing by blocking suspicious and frequent connections to your assets when, for example, a virus or potential attack is detected. LLHOST INC. team is always ready to assist you in configuring the firewall as needed.

Separate servers for development and testing
Any web project in its early developmental stages is the most vulnerable and poses a security risk to your server. As mentioned above, we recommend using individual servers for development and testing, each for their purposes.

Security monitoring
Keep server logs separate. Test the security of your server regularly (for example, by pentesting). Also check the logs for any information that indicates possible attacks.

VPN
Use VPN. In fact, it is your own local network that can only be accessed by your servers. VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) help improve your privacy and security. You can configure traffic routing with the VPN for the entire server, as well as for certain services or applications.

Professional audit
The last step in improving the security of your server is a professional verification by security experts. They will identify any vulnerabilities on your server and resources and provide recommendations on possible steps to eliminate them.

Do not forget that all server protection methods are not a panacea for every hack, but they do help prevent most attacks. Protecting your server from hacking is a permanent job, not a one-time event. It is important to keep monitoring the operation of the server even after all security measures have been implemented. And LLHOST INC. is here for you!

Get a -15% discount on all LLHOST INC. Virtual Servers (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) orders until July 22, 2022! Apply the promo code "SAVE2SECURE"* and spend the resources you have saved to the security of your server to minimise the risk of hacking. Protect your server today!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Nested%20Virtualization.%20EN.png

A virtual server within a virtual server? Why not?!

Let's imagine that a project, you are working on, needs the software not supported by the main OS of your server. Or you are engaged in the development for Android or iOS. In this case, it is necessary to have running multiple operating systems always at the disposal. Of course, you can configure each of them on a separate server. But also, you can skip all the challenges and run several operating systems at the same time (one within the other or two at the same time). This allows to work on the task in a separate environment. This configuration is known as nested virtualization.

Nested Virtualization is a set of processes that allows you to run virtual servers within virtual ones. It is carried out with the help of hypervisors, specialized programs that manage the operating systems you need in virtual environments. Hypervisors play an important role in regulating the performance of your virtual environments. They are responsible for allocating key resources like processing power, memory, and other resources that your virtual environments require to function, and bridge the gap between the hardware and the operating system.

The nested virtualization performance that you achieve will depend on the virtual environments that you deploy. You can select the amount of resources you want to allocate when deploying nested virtualization.

In other words, nested virtualization is the ability to run a hypervisor within a virtual server that runs on a hypervisor too.

What is nested virtualization for?
This question is quite reasonable if you are faced with the concept of nested virtualization for the first time.
So, nested virtualization is the ideal solution for companies that require virtual environments for development, testing, QA, demos, remote desktops, and more. This technology improves productivity, improves the customer experience, and ensures the correct functioning of your software in the environments that your customers will use.

What are the advantages of nested virtualization?

Compared to traditional on-premise solutions, nested virtual machines offer many advantages. Let's look at the most notable benefits in detail:

Settings flexibility. The ability to host virtual environments within virtual environments allows you to develop and test software on your own terms and provides you with flexible isolated environments that you can adapt to your needs.

Significant cost savings. With nested virtualization, you pay only for the resources you use, with no overspending on equipment or maintaining.

Support for multiple hypervisors. Not all hypervisors are equal. You may require a specific hypervisor that is compatible with the virtualization environment. Most virtual environments support the most popular of existing hypervisors.

Scalability. The goal of any company is growth. You can add additional processing power, memory, and other resources as needed, as nested virtualization is a highly scalable solution.

LLHOST INC. is pleased to announce the launch of nested virtualization on all virtual servers (OVS)! To celebrate the release, we have prepared for each of you a discount of -20% by the promo code “NV20OFF” when ordering any OVS plan (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz).

Take full advantage of nested virtualization for development and testing, virtualization training, providing guest virtualization, testing configurations and deploying virtual clouds, as well as any other cases where you need to run multiple hypervisors within a single server!

Terms and conditions:
1. The promo code is valid until July 29, 2022.

How to create your own VPN server easily?

Hello forum users!

Blocking certain resources will not come as a surprise to anyone today. VPN services continue to be relevant in this case. They allow you to bypass regional restrictions, as well as ensure a secure connection to the network.

We have already covered all types of VPN (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-choose-a-VPN-application-or-a-VPN-server) and mentioned that there are functional limitations to a public VPN service:
- the speed and quality of the connection depends on how many users have reached the server,
- the trial period can be limited,
- there is no guarantee of data protection from leaks.

Today, we will teach how to access blocked resources, through deploying a VPN on a virtual server. As auxiliary applications, install PuTTY (a SSH-protocols client) and OpenVPN Connect (to establish a connection between your devices and the server).

Thus, step 1. Selection of the hosting provider.
A provider that enables the deployment of a VPN on virtual servers is required. LLHOST INC. is included therein. Choose any OVS plan (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers) and get all configurations for server access by email.

LLHOST INC. is one of the few European providers who accept payments from any country in the world and in any currency: bank cards, PayPal, WebMoney, QIWI, cryptocurrencies (more about Payment Methods here (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Paying-from-anywhere-in-the-world-in-any-currency-Yes-it-s-real)).

Step 2. SSH connection to the server.
Enter the IP address of the server (from the configurations sent by email) in the Host Name field and click Open.

Step 3. Authorization.
To paste the password into the console, copy it to the clipboard, then right-click (the password will not be displayed in the console). Press Enter.

Note! If a warning window appears, select the Yes button.

Step 4. OpenVPN script.
After successful authorization, enter the ready-made OpenVPN Road Warrior script: wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn‑install.sh && bash openvpn‑install.sh and press Enter key:

Step 5. Setup wizard dialogue.
The setup wizard automatically includes the best suggestions within square brackets [ ]. Type your choice, confirming with the Enter key:
Protocol [UDP] — 1
Port [1194] — 1194
DNS — 1
Client name — You can type client, as suggested. In this example, Test was used.

Press any key — confirm data entry with any key and wait until configuration are completed.

Step 6. Protocol for running OpenVPN.
When configured successfully, enter the command cat ~/Test.ovpn (instead of Test, use the name specified while configuring). The script will be displayed:

Step 7. File *.ovpn
Select the text of the script, starting with the line client and ending with </tls-crypt>, copy it to the clipboard with the Ctrl + V combination and paste into Notepad. Save file as Test.ovpn (instead of Test, use the name specified while configuring), choosing All files type:

Final step. Server connection.
Right-click on the Test.ovpn file and select Start OpenVPN on this config file.

If the connection is successful, the PuTTy console will display the Initialization Sequence Completed status. Ready! You build your own VPN server from zero. From now on, all traffic will go through the VPN, which means the network connection is protected, and all blocked resources in the area will be available.

SysAdmin Day. Wait, it’s today?!

They say that the profession of a system administrator (sysadmin) is similar to that of the doctor — they only remember him when something fails.

Installing and configuring hardware and software, preparing and maintaining data backups, creating and updating user accounts, system troubleshooting, planning and implementing ways to expand the network structure of any business, and often ensuring cybersecurity, these are the main tasks of a system administrator. Thus, the success and stability of business performance is directly dependent on them.

Nowadays, the world's largest computer network consists of 6,000 computers and contains 35,000 km of optical cable. It was created at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland to serve the Large Hadron Collider. On a daily basis, 2,500 specialists monitor the entry and distribution of approximately one petabyte of data. Although sysadmins are able to solve a lot of complex problems, the most common reason for apply remains fluid spillage on the keyboard. Every funny story spreads at lightning speed, turning into a joke. Let's remember one of them:

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts,
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?
"The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field. "
"You must be in IT", says the balloonist.
"I am", replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well", says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone!"
The man below says, "You must be in management."
"I am", replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

It has become a tradition to honor our invisible but important G-men on the last Friday of July. Ted Kekatos initiated System Administrator Appreciation Day in 2000. The American system administrator with 20 years of experience was so inspired by a Hewlett-Packard ads, in which users thank a system admin for installing printers with flowers and fruit baskets. He arranged a picnic for his colleagues in the suburbs of Chicago. Since then, this holiday has been celebrated annually, and is gaining popularity all around the world.

This year it takes place today, on July 29. LLHOST INC. is directly associated with the work of system administrators, and we want to celebrate that day together! On this occasion, each system administrator (as well as our readership) is honored with a -16% discount on all LLHOST INC. services for 6 months! It is so easy to use: enter the promo code #SysAdminDay2022 in a special field when ordering a Virtual (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz), Dedicated (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/custom?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz), VPN-servers (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) until August 12, 2022.

Free hosting: pitfalls guide

Search engine statistics show that thousands of people request "free hosting services" every day. Despite all the wealth of choice, these proposals do not lead the market. Why doesn't the word "free" have its magic effect anymore, and why does "free lunch" pose serious problems? Let's look at all the hidden threats of free hosting in today's article.

Low uptime
98% uptime (that comes with most free plans) is in fact a critical range. This means that your project will not be available for 14 hours per month. An unavailable resource will result in customer turnover, which will certainly have a negative impact on your business.

Low data transfer rate (DTR)
As usual, every free server has many projects hosted on it. It gets overloaded, download speed is reduced, and this increases download time by 20-30 seconds. The user loses interest in that resource, and you find it difficult to work on the project.

Traffic limits
There is often a traffic limit for free servers. The excess of the consumed traffic is an additional expense.

Inability to scale
Free hosting has a limited amount of disk space. As your project progresses, the only way to move forward is to switch to a paid plan. Its price may exceed that of the standard.

No technical support
Free plans mostly do not provide any technical support. Any questions that come up must be resolved on your own.

Risk of being hacked
Generally, just the cloud space you share with other users is offered free of charge. This increases the risk that your resource will be hacked in case your "neighbors" are attacked.

Threat of losing your project
Using free servers, you can lose your project anytime. Many hosting companies, which provide a free service, specify in their terms of use that they may stop the service completely at any time without explanation. A good example of this is Geocities, a free Yahoo hosting. The project was closed in October 2009, with over 38 million web resources hosted.

Restrictions, restrictions and more restrictions - the only thing that free hosting can guarantee. Minimal assistance, limited tools and excessive risk mentioned above.

If you are working on creating a project that you intend to develop, invest your time and energy, then free hosting is completely inappropriate. However, you have to pay for it, but in a hidden form. The right way is to accept the fixed plan for reliable and mutually beneficial terms long-term cooperation, isn't it?

LLHOST INC. is always willing to provide options to build a strong foundation for developing projects of any complexity. We offer a permanent discount for long-term cooperation for all our users. For all new customers, we have prepared a promo code #lunchdiscount. Apply it when ordering any Virtual Server (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) before August 19, 2022, and take advantage of a -14% discount on 3 monthly billing periods. Save on hosting smartly!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Free%20WiFi.%20EN.png

Public Wi-Fi: Top 5 threats and 10 protection methods.

In our previous post, we shared the dangers that free hosting presents to our projects (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Free-hosting-pitfalls-guide). To continue the same topic, let's talk about public Wi-Fi. What threats and risks are involved, and how can you protect your device?

Yes, we are used to the fact that public wireless Internet is everywhere: in any coffee house and shopping mall, airport, hotel and even on the street. ESET research shows that 74% of respondents use Wi-Fi hotspots without considering their security. And interception of traffic at such points can easily be done. Personal information, digital identification data, including banking ones, are at risk.

What makes public Wi-Fi dangerous?
The primary vulnerability is that while using a public network, your traffic is not protected. That creates numerous "loopholes" for attackers. We'll talk more in today's article.

Threat 1. "Evil twins" - fake hotspots.
When connected to Wi-Fi, you may not notice that you are using a "parallel" network with a similar name, imitating only a legitimate one. These hotspots are known as "Evil Twins" used for the theft of personal data and credentials and unauthorized access to internal networks is made.

Threat 2: Cloned websites.
Similar to a fake Wi-Fi access point, there is a risk of entering a "clone" site. This kind of scam is called DNS spoofing. Instead of the URL entered, you are actually redirected to a website that can look exactly like the original and your traffic is redirected to a third-party server. So, without any suspicions, you can willingly transfer personal data to attackers.

Threat 3: Infected devices of other users.
You may have taken care of your device's security, but all guarantees come to nothing if you connect to a public hotspot. Gadgets of users from the same Wi-Fi network can be infected with various viruses, worms and other malware that puts your device at risk of infection and/or loss of personal data, even if you have antivirus software.

Threat 4. The risk of stealing passwords.
According to LogMeIn statistics, 59% of users set the same password to access accounts on different services for ease of use. It represents a threat not only to personal security on the network, but also to family and friends. With your universal password, attackers actually get the keys to your life and can use them for various purposes: from correspondence on your behalf on social media to money transactions from your personal bank client account (mentioned in the previous article (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/This-is-definitely-NOT-SPAM-is-this)).

Threat 5. MITM vulnerability (“Man in the middle”).
“Man in the middle” is an attacker who interferes with the data transfer protocol. During a MITM attack, communication between the parties is intercepted (normally within the reception range of a wireless access point) and then relayed to the counterparties. An attacker may steal the identity of each endpoint, or remain an intermediary host, deleting or corrupting information.

How to protect yourself when connecting to public Wi-Fi?
Refusing to use public Wi-Fi in the modern world is hardly possible. Following these guidelines can help reduce safety risks.

1. Use public Wi-Fi only when necessary. All important operations requiring authentication and the entry of other private information should be performed only through a secure and reliable access point.
2. Disable the automatic Wi-Fi connection and select the networks manually. Thus, your device will not be constantly scanning for a familiar network, and attackers will be unable to connect the device to their network without your awareness (see paragraph on "Evil Twins").
3. Make sure that the devices you use to connect to a public Wi-Fi network are protected by antivirus software. Don't forget to update it on a regular basis, because if you force updates to be installed on a public Wi-Fi network, malware may be installed on your devices.
4. Check the legitimacy of the wireless connection. Whatever network you connect to, always check the Wi-Fi access point information (network name and password or IP address).
5. Always mark your connection to public Wi-Fi as "Public Network". This will prevent your device from sharing files or other sensitive information with others in the network, which will decrease the risk of malware infection from its "holder".
6. Use a VPN. Private VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) create a secure and encrypted network connection, taking care of your privacy.
7. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for critical resources (bank clients, email, social networks, etc.). This will prevent unauthorized connection to the device.
8. Delete your Wi-Fi connection when you have completed the necessary steps to avoid automatically connecting to a network when you get within reach.
9. Change your passwords once you have used public Wi-Fi networks. The recipe for a strong password is simple: use upper and lower case letters, numerals and special characters.
10. Use the HTTPS data transfer protocol. It supports the security of site operations, the reliability of connections and the protection of data transmission.

It's quite difficult to protect yourself from hunters who are deliberately trying to get your bank data. But you should be prepared for any attacks today. Private VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) were created to ensure that your personal and business correspondence, instant messenger conversations, online purchases, browser browsing history, etc. were not intercepted or overheard. And we're ready to help and keep it simple! Use promo code #publicwifihowto and get a -12% discount on any Private VPN server from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) for 3 monthly billing periods. The promotion is valid until August 25, 2022, but why wait when you can take action now!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Uptime.%20EN.png

All you should know about UPTIME.

We have mentioned uptime more than once in our publications. And since it is one of the keys when choosing a hosting, let's get into what uptime means, and why the quality of hosting directly depends on it.

Uptime is a measure of time an equipment, IT system, or device, has been working and available. It displays the time interval from startup to termination of server functionality for any of the reasons: an error, a reboot, an unplanned shutdown, etc.

Idle time of a system is called "downtime". This is the time interval during which the server is unavailable to users.

Server uptime is measured as a percentage of uptime to downtime.

The ideal uptime is 100%, which is impossible. Scheduled reboots or other preventive maintenance, as well as emergencies, are reflected in uptime rates. Short interruptions with the server are safe, because problems are diagnosed in an instant and immediately fixed by hoster. So, for example, 99% uptime says that your server will be unavailable for 15 minutes a day (8 hours a month), and 99.9% - 50 minutes a month. Uptime 98% is considered critical (see Free hosting: pitfalls guide (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Free-hosting-pitfalls-guide)). Your server will be unavailable 14 hours a month, which could cause serious problems for web project owners.

Low uptime affects search engine optimization especially. It pushes down in search results rankings, since indexing by search robots stops during downtime. Negative results demonstrate PPC ads, posted on the third-party advertising platform, if your resource cannot be achieved. Losses from low uptime affect not only progression of your project, but also earnings. If your resource operates with frequency of crashing, the user will appeal to another one.

Make sure your project is available for as much time as possible! Prevent your users from switching to competitors and increase the number of new ones. Choose high-quality and reliable hosting that will ensure the smooth running of your commercial project, as changing hosting to a more stable one will increase the rating of your resource.

LLHOST INC. guarantees the maximum server uptime to ensure the successful implementation of any projects. Our uptime rate is currently 99.9%. You can make sure of it when working with virtual (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=thewebhostbiz) or VPN servers from LLHOST INC.

QA environment on a virtual server.

Virtual servers are used nowadays for a variety of tasks, not just in IT, but in many other fields. However, before we can enjoy a software product, an entire team is working on it.

QA is one of the important production stages, for which virtual server is an ideal environment. The virtual QA environment greatly reduces the time spent working on a project because of the following reasons:

1. On a virtual server, you can simultaneously deploy several versions of the same software product, each of which can be run on demand. In this case, you can create an unlimited number of users with certain access rights to server resources.
2. Testing environments deployed on virtual servers also prevent idle time of your own servers when there is no need to use them. All the virtual resources you need are at your disposal without loss of quality.

3. All virtual servers LLHOST INC. are configured with nested virtualization, allowing you to create isolated QA environments that you can easily set up to your needs.

4. Developers can work with the virtual environment without fear of damaging the QA engineer's one.

5. A QA environment on a virtual server is also necessary to calculate the consumption of selected resources without affecting its own capacities.

6. Temporary projects, which require diagnostics of software functionality only, are advisable to deploy in a testing environment, since they will not be used later.

Testing environments based on virtual servers (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=thewebhostbiz) will help speed up the product QA stage with minimal overhead. They can be deployed in the shortest time, being flexible in configurations.

Choose virtual servers (OVS) from LLHOST INC.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Dedicated%20IP%20address.%20EN.png

Dedicated IP address: what are the advantages?

Today we will talk about the IP address and the benefits of a dedicated IP for safe connection to the network through a VPN server.

So,
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical address that identifies a device on the Internet or a local area network. It is regulated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

There are two types of Internet addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 address is used since 1981 as the most widely accepted. It consists of four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by a dot. Since there can be only 4.3 billion such combinations, and the number of devices with Internet access has passed the 29 billion mark (according to statistics from CISCO, one of the world's largest IT companies), a new type — IPv6 has been developed. It represents eight blocks of letters and numbers separated by colons. The number of such possible combinations is 2128 billion.

What is an IP address used for?
All devices connect to the network, with an Internet provider as their bridge. A simplified model of it looks like this: device → provider → Internet. Thanks to IP address, the provider performs data exchange upon users' request.

Data from every website is stored on the server. Every server has its own IP address on the worldwide network. Therefore, each website also has its own Internet address, or more, if we are talking about a large portal hosted on several servers.

There is no need to remember the IP address to access a specific resource. To do that, the Domain Name System, or DNS, was created. This technology enables the browser to find the IP address by name and upload the website (see our article What is a DNS server (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/chto-takoe-dns-server)).

Is a VPN server hiding your IP address?
When you connect to a network via a VPN server, your original IP address is replaced by the IP address for the VPN server, which can be located anywhere in the world. Beyond privacy, VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) help improve your online security, as well as protect Internet traffic, by encrypting the data transmitted from your device.

What kinds of IP addresses do exist?
According to the assignment method, there are static and dynamic IP addresses.

A static IP address is permanently assigned to the user. It does not change with each new connection to the network, being an identifier for a certain network node.

Dynamic IP is a temporary address that is assigned to the device throughout the session. Once connected to the network, the user receives one of the addresses available at that time. When connecting afterwards, the device is assigned another address among the available ones.

A dynamic IP is characterized by a slower download and upload speed than a static IP address (which is highly discouraged when using a VPN service), with the threat of disconnect, from deceleration to complete shutdown, associated with the assignment of a new free IP.

According to the type of location, IP addresses are divided into public and dedicated ones.

A public IP address allows multiple users to access the Internet with the same address.

Dedicated IP address is a unique IP address which is assigned solely to you. With a dedicated IP, all the benefits of a VPN server are available, such as the interaction of company branches, access to geo-restricted content, mail service protection against blocking due to suspected spam, and much more.

What are the benefits of a dedicated IP address?
Secure access to all accounts. Bank clients, online stores, social networks can block your account if you regularly change your IP addresses. Connect to the network through VPN servers from LLHOST INC. for secure transactions.
(https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz)
No security checks required. Website security services will be less likely to consider you a robot and offer to fill out a CAPTCHA.

Secure remote work. Connect securely to your working network from your home device and continue to operate anonymously with our No-logs Policy.

Exclusion from black lists of public IPs. The absence of "neighbors" who can violate the Terms of Use will prevent you from being denied access. Only you can build your reputation online.

Protection of IoT devices. Data and settings from home security cameras, smart doorbells and other IoT devices which may collect data will only be available to you, and the opportunity for unauthorized access is minimized.

What problems can a dedicated IP address solve?
• Blackmail services if your IP neighbors are spamming. It will also block the Inbox and Mailbox from your asset.
• Sanction blocking of an IP address if neighboring resources are recognized as forbidden and blocked by supervisory structures.
• A DDoS attack against one of the “neighbors” by IP address threatens all resources with a public Internet address.

Thus, a dedicated IP address will help avoid many problems caused by users' actions with the same IP.

Obtain a dedicated static IP address when connecting to VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) in any available location. Use promo code #iptips to enjoy a -12% discount!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Server%20vs%20hosting.%20EN.png

What is the difference between a server and hosting?

Well, formally the term "hosting" is defined as "a service that runs servers connected to the Internet, allowing organizations and individuals to serve content or host services connected to the Internet". It is applied to all hosting services: from shared to dedicated servers.

In the informal communication environment, the meaning of "hosting" has become almost synonymous with shared hosting. In this article, we will cover it from an informal point of view. To do this, let's find out the essence of those services in order to have a clear understanding of the capabilities of your own resource.

It is known that absolutely all data on the Internet is stored on servers. Each server is a specially configured, powerful physical computer connected to the network 24/7. It can be fully managed by the user as a dedicated server (required for large organizations), or it can contain a certain number of virtual servers. This virtualization technology allows several virtual limited servers to run on one physical server. Each of the virtual servers is assigned a unique IP address. System files on such servers are completely isolated. This provides security at a sufficiently high level and protects against unauthorized access to user resources.

Virtual private servers are ideal for high-load resources and show stable performance, even if there is a technical failure on one of the neighboring virtual servers. You can configure the server by yourself, open and close ports, set a privacy policy, and more.

Complex managed hosting, such as hybrid (a combination of physical and virtual) can be applied to both dedicated and virtual servers, where the complexity of infrastructure deployment plays a key role.

Colocation provides just the Internet connection, constant power and climate control, and system administration is carried out by users.

Regarding the hosting, it is the service of providing disk space for hosting websites. All configurations are set up. Site management is implemented intuitive through the control panel’s user account. On the one hand, hosting is easy and simple to manage, and on the other hand, all resources are shared with “neighbors”, disk space and bandwidth are limited.

Although technical skills are required to set up a virtual server, this issue can be covered by any control panel that is convenient for you, which will set up your server for hosting.

In other words, hosting is a server with shared resources, configured to host and operate websites (with services already installed, such as control panel, mailbox, FTP, etc.). A virtual server, on the other hand, has dedicated resources and can be configured for any task (read more in our blog article
How to choose a VPS? (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-choose-a-VPS)).

Virtual servers from LLHOST INC. have a lot of advantages:
• Affordable price in the VPS market.
• Guaranteed allocated resources with no additional fees.
• Full access to all server resources.
• Set up flexibility: the ability to install any OP and software.
• Dedicated IP address.
• Projects of other users do not affect the performance of your server.
• Ability to link the required number of domains.
• The security of your server does not depend on "neighbors".

Happy Software Freedom Day!

Every year, Software Freedom Day is celebrated on the 3rd Saturday of September. It was initiated by the non-profit organization Software Freedom International. The idea of the celebration is to inform as many users as possible about free software opportunities.

What is free software? Free software (FOS) is software that allows users to run software for any purpose, redistribute copies of it, and explore, study, or modify the source code. The most popular FOS today are: GNU and Linux operating systems, Firefox web browser, LibreOffice and OpenOffice office suites, etc.

The Free Software Foundation was founded in 1983 by Richard Stallman, creator of the Unix-like free operating system GNU. He always highlights the word "free", accenting that "the real goal of such software is freedom."

For the first time, Software Freedom Day was celebrated in 2004. 12 teams of volunteers participated in the event organization. They talked about the advantages of using free software in every sphere of life, with an idea to learn and share what they learned with others. Today, the geography of this event reaches about 100 countries.

Initially, the holiday was held on August 28, but in 2006 it was replaced by the third Saturday in September. Every year, participating teams from around the world celebrate Software Freedom Day at the regional level. Local organizers choose the format of the event. So they may differ from region to region. Conferences, seminars, cultural and educational meetings, exhibitions have become traditional activities. Celebrations may also contain master classes, demonstrations, games, discussions, Instalfests, during which experts will help you install and learn the FOS.

LLHOST INC. as well as Digital Freedom Foundation supports the distribution of educational content, including free software. Therefore, on Software Freedom Day, we are happy to keep the traditions of the holiday. Starting today and for two weeks (until September 30, 2022), our pleasure is to offer all our subscribers an -11% discount on all virtual (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) or VPN servers from LLHOST INC.

All about Remote Desktop.

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed files or programs from a computer that is currently at home or at work? Or the project you are working on was not available while you were in a business trip? All this can be avoided if you have a Remote Desktop. It allows you to connect to your work or personal computer from anywhere in the world and access the files stored on it, or remotely share the screen with friends and colleagues as if you were sitting right in front of it.

Remote Desktop is a technology that allows you to control a PC or server remotely via the Internet. The connection is implemented by assignment of the administrative rights of your device to be managed by others. The ability to connect from almost any device, be it a PC or laptop, tablet or smartphone, is available due to the fact that the remote server takes the entire workload. You do not overload your device with running processes, but simply get an image from the server screen and freely manage its system.

Remote desktop on a virtual server is necessary for both private use and business. So you have a connection to your home computer at any time and access to your files and soft anywhere. And if you have to work with resource-intensive soft such like video editing, 3D modeling programs or run a video game that your home PC cannot keep up, Remote Desktop can help solve this problem.

For any company, both large corporations and small businesses, it is a great opportunity to organize a remote workplace, allowing you to work from anywhere in the world, having access to corporate software on your work computer and work files. At the same time, all documentation is stored on one server, and access to it does not depend on the presence of the employee in charge in the office. You can perform all actions on a remote device: change software settings, share files, encrypt transferred data, hold conferences, connect webcams, remote projectors and other network devices. It is very important that you have possibility to assign employees access to certain folders.

There are two options for organizing remote access:
• Special programs that connect two workstations via the Internet. In this case, constant access to power and the Internet are essential.
• Server rental, in which operational activities are performed on a remote server of the hosting service provider (therefore, the requirements for your devices are minimal), and it is accessed via the Internet.

A remote desktop deployed on a virtual server has increased protection, while special programs, both free and with a purchased license, have an increased threat of hacking and unauthorized access to the local network.

Now let's talk more about the areas in which remote desktop on a virtual server has a distinct advantage:

Accounting.
It is well-known that the database should be stored within the company, not at an accountant's home. If you have ever lost your ledgers, or broke the contract with an accountant, then you understand how important is it. With a virtual server, you will always have access to accounting files.

Bank-clients.
For security purposes, some bank clients are linked to the certain IP address and can only be accessed from one device. Virtual servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) have dedicated static IP address, which means that your bank account is always available for operations.

Electronic archives.
Remote desktop for the documents' archives contributes to the centralized storage of huge amounts of information. It is great for monitoring, statistics and data management.

Exchange trading.
To keep the network delay to a minimum, the server with bots that buy and sell assets should be located closer to the data centers. For example, LLHOST INC. has a data center in Amsterdam. You connect to the remote desktop from your location, and the bots trade directly from Amsterdam.

Alternative OS.
Some tasks or software may require a different operating system than installed on your device. Virtual servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) are the easiest way to deploy it.

System administration.
To system administrators, in order to manage the system and quickly troubleshoot malfunctions, remote access is a must.

Educational platforms.
Distance education is widespread today. Remote desktop technology is actively used by modern educational platforms for remotely students' access.

Personal gaming server.
If you want to set up a server to play online with friends, remote desktop can help in that.

VPN as a Bonus.
You can also deploy your own VPN server based on a virtual server from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) which will be a nice bonus for you.

Remote Desktop is an essential technical tool in almost any area of life. It finds its application for both private and business use, being effective and secure.

So, today we offer you a -14% discount on any LLHOST INC. virtual server (OVS) plan (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) for three months with the #remote promo code, valid until October 7, 2022.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/12%20proofs%20you%20need%20a%20VPN.%20EN.png

12 proofs you need a VPN.

Talking about VPN, privacy and data security is always in focus. We covered this topic in the articles Who is following us on the Internet? (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Who-is-watching-us-on-the-Internet) and Beware: Spy Apps! (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Beware-spy-apps) This is really important, because information such as IP addresses, proxies, provider, etc. can be intercepted if they are sent over an insecure network. It is the VPN that creates a private encrypted tunnel between the two networks, which protects all your data.

However, there are many other uses for VPN that you may not even have heard of. Today we will talk about 12 of them:

1. Access to blocked resources.
In many countries of the world, several social networks are subject to censorship and blocking. For example, Facebook and Twitter are blocked in Algeria to prevent students from using them to get answers during exams. However, the blockage affects every user in the country. A VPN will help you bypass regional blocks of resources that are not available in your country.

2. High speed of media resources.
A VPN is your trusted companion for avoiding ISP (Internet service providers) speed limits on streaming media platforms like YouTube. In other words, a VPN will allow you to watch videos or movies across multiple platforms without annoying disconnects, buffers, or other barriers.

3. International libraries and streaming TV.
Streaming platforms like Netflix have different content in different countries. This may be due to copyright or censorship laws, as well as licensing agreements and price discrimination practices where the cost is different for one viewer or provider than it is for another. A VPN will allow you to access libraries that are not available in your area, as well as watch original programs from almost all TV channels in the world absolutely free of charge, bypassing geo-restrictions.

4. Change of location.
If, for whatever reason, you wish to hide your site from others, like employees or employers, a VPN will come to your rescue. For this, a server at the desired location will suffice.

5. Online gaming without speed limits.
Game developers often use BitTorrent for updates and fixed bugs. Such traffic significantly increases the load on the network, so it is "throttled" (intentionally slowed down) by Internet service providers to minimize bandwidth congestion. Using a VPN will help prevent those limitations.

6. Shopping in foreign online stores.
According to InternetRetailer.com, 24% of online shoppers purchase goods on foreign marketplaces daily. By using a VPN, you can avoid the challenges on different financial systems and make your shopping experience more enjoyable.

7. Anti-eavesdropping.
We have already highlighted the threats of public Wi-Fi (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Public-Wi-Fi-Top-5-threats-and-10-protection-methods). Since such connections are not encrypted and not protected, the risk of being eavesdropped is quite high, which you can check by all the permissions of installed applications. Even legitimate apps that let you control your kids or your employees' activities are vulnerable to attackers. VPN not only masks the route of your Internet traffic, but also encrypts your data, hiding your presence on the network.

8. Voice over IP (VoIP) calls.
Using a VPN for VoIP calls can make your connection safe from a country where the Internet is strictly monitored or blocked. It is also a means to save money on VoIP calls. The cost of this type of connection depends on where you are, and switching your IP address to a server address may help you access cheaper rates.

9. Safe connection to any Wi-Fi hotspot.
All Wi-Fi connections are highly vulnerable and are considered weak when it comes to IT security (see paragraph 7). Keep in mind that a VPN helps you connect to any Wi-Fi network safely.

10. Booking of air tickets and other services.
Many airlines and service providers may have different data collection methods that are used to generate service charges based on your location. Just like in the case of VoIP, a VPN will help you get a better price and, in addition, get rid of the annoying follow-up ads.

11. Marketing research on competitors.
It is known that each visit to a website is registered automatically. You can be identified by this digital footprint. In this case, a VPN will help you stay incognito. That is especially important when you are researching a competitor and anonymity is crucial.

12. The "Watch list".
Traffic, especially illegal, is carefully monitored by international security agencies, such as MPAA (Motion Picture Association) in the US or GPC (Government Communications Center) in the UK. Identified offenders are recorded under the so-called "Watch list". A VPN allows you to download and share files without risk of being included into one of these lists.

Those are just 12 reasons that prove the benefits of using a VPN. Highly secure encryption, IP masking, the ability to connect two devices at the same time, multilingual support - all this is about VPN servers from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/private-vpn-servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) Take the chance to connect the service with an -11% discount for 3 months!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/HDD%20vs%20SDD.%20Which%20is%20better_%20EN.png

HDD vs SSD. Which is better?

When selecting a server, processor specifications and storage capacity are regarded as key factors. In any case, the function of a storage for a server differs from that of your PC as every server must store a great amount of data with 24/7 access. Thus, the main characteristics are:
• high performance,
• minimal response time,
• safety of data and possibility to recover it.

Modern storage media are represented by HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and SSD (Solid-State Drive). What is that? What are the differences between HDD and SSD? What kind of storage to choose? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in our today's article.

So what are HDD and SSD?

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is a storage device based on magnetic recording technology. Reading and writing data from a hard disk is performed by the sensing head located above a rotating magnetic plate (similar to the phonograph). It was invented by IBM (International Business Machines) in 1956 and immediately became a very popular type of storage, decreasing in size and increasing in capacity over time.

SSD (Solid-State Drive) is a type of storage that uses electronic circuits to store data instead of moving parts. The operating principle is based on semi-conductors that change the electrical condition of the trillions of circuits contained in the drive. They have no moving parts, which helps to avoid problems with data loss or disk damage (similar to a USB flash drive).

Both HDD and SSD are similar in their physical features, but they have totally different ways to store and recover data. However, both technologies come with their advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about the most obvious facts.

HDD’s speed is very low.
Speed ​​is the main difference between an SSD and HDD, when servers have to perform multiple IO operations (Input-Output), and information is not distributed sequentially. The speed of an SSD is not mechanically limited, so it works better with random IO processes and reading or writing random information.

SSD loses in terms of storage capacity.
This is a major factor if you need a dedicated server for storing large-capacity data. One HDD can hold up to 16 TB. Although it is possible to increase the amount of memory with any storage device nowadays, the price-to-power ratio becomes the only difference.

HDD is vulnerable to many external influences.
This could be caused by sunlight exposure or high temperatures, fluids, dust, or sensitivity to other magnetic fields. Mobile parts of a hard drive may be damaged at any time and cause data loss. The architecture of the SSD makes it mechanically more reliable than a hard drive because it can withstand vibrations or shocks that are fatal to an HDD.

SSD has a limited number of write cycles.
Although SSD has a limited life-time determined by the number of write cycles, you should not worry about the data safety. SSD assets and smart planning can handle massive quantities of written data. For example, the controller evenly distributes data across all SSD sectors, levelling out its mechanical wear. Also, non-volatile flash memory cells used instead of RAM maintain their conditions when the power is switched off.

What storage type is worthy to select?
Of the two options, it is impossible to identify the winner, and there cannot be any clear answer to this question. Both technologies are relevant today, and the choice between them depends on the operations performed on the server. On some, the data are written more frequently than read, on others, inverses. So, video hosting basically requires data reading, logging systems, video surveillance or backup - recording, corporate information systems - both reading and writing. That's why HDD servers are suitable for long-term storage of data with a constant low load. But in case you need a server for quickly dealing with all the tasks under a heavy load, then an SSD is a must.

The storage of all LLHOST INC. Virtual Servers (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) is based on a fast SSD, which has an advantage in terms of speed and response time compared to the HDD. They can easily perform a wide range of operational tasks that require fast loading, such as 1C, web development, 3D graphics and animation, audio and video editing, etc. Also, you have the opportunity to get a -13% discount on any virtual server (OVS) (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) plan using the promo code #needforspeed until October 21, 2022.*

With virtual servers (OVS) from LLHOST INC. (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) the time for searching and reading data tends to zero!

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Data%20Centers%20and%20information%20security..%20 EN.png

Data Centers and information security.

Data security has always been and continues to be an LLHOST INC priority. This subject is always relevant when choosing a hosting provider, since you entrust your confidential information and want to make sure that it is protected safely. Is it real?

Now imagine the scene: a typical computer genius attempts to obtain confidential or classified information in a secret hideout. All manipulations performed on the laptop are commented as: "Getting around the firewall and accessing the data center." This is the moment when any technician sighs loudly at this blockbuster. And all of us starts thinking seriously about the safety of personal data if, according to the movie script, anyone can access it in seconds.

Now first things first.

A Data Center is a special room (or building) in which powerful computing resources are concentrated: servers and data storage systems. Their main functions are: storage, processing and transmission of the information. In addition to server and network equipment, each data center is equipped with engineering systems, security and monitoring systems that ensure efficient operation and protection of the entire complex. Also, any data center provides secure communication channels through which data is exchanged.

How exactly do Data Centers protect personal information?

Protection of engineering components.
There are thousands of servers in Data Centers, and all of them are monitored day and night by a “smart” control system: from air conditioning to resource consumption. Each server is equipped with its own power supply, and the entire data center with a backup power supply system. It continues to operate normally even if power is lost.

Premises protection.
Each data center has its own range of security protocols. The highest security level is intended for military and financial organizations of special importance.

Data centers used by LLHOST INC. are 24/7 under video surveillance. They are protected by multi-level access control and biometrics scanning. Each server rack is also under lock. These security measures, combined with the physical presence of security personnel, ensure that the data center as well as personal data is protected 24/7.

Protection of data transmission channels.
Nearly 50% of data centers experience DDoS attacks every year. The most frequent are threats of hacking, theft or deletion of data stored on servers. Our networks have both firewall protection and threat detection systems to help mitigate and prevent DDoS attacks. Information protection is achieved thanks to means of detection and elimination of the malicious code, as well as traffic redistribution to other nodes. You can be sure that your data is strongly protected at any LLHOST INC. data center.

Protection from external factors.
As was mentioned before, data centers are usually protected by high-tech security measures to ensure maximum physical security of personal data. For example, each data center used by LLHOST INC. is equipped with the latest fire extinguishing and smoke detection systems. Their intelligent system is activated independently in case of any smoke. Additional protection against external threats such as natural disasters is provided by security rooms and safes, where server equipment is reliably protected from any threatening factors. The choice of the location of data processing centers is not accidental, these are the safest corners of the world, although distant, but in proximity to the Internet exchange ports in order to maintain a high connection speed.

You can be confident that LLHOST INC. is making every effort to keep your data safe and sound. So, the promo code #safeandsound guarantees a -14% discount on all virtual server (OVS) plans from LLHOST INC (https://llhost-inc.eu/ru/optimized_virtual_servers?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz).

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/HTTP%20error%20codes.%20EN.png

HTTP error codes.

Every Internet user at least once stumbled upon errors that are displayed when trying to access a website. Technically, it works like this: the server accepts requests from the user via a browser (or a client), processes information and gives the answer in the form of a numeric code that indicates the response status.

HTTP status codes are standardized three-digit codes that a web server returns in response to HTTP requests from network clients. The first digit indicates the status class. Currently, there are five classes of status response codes (depending on which you need to take certain actions):
1. Informational (100–199).
2. Successful (200–299).
3. Redirection (300–399).
4. Client error (400–499).
5. Server error (500–599).

Successful and Informational server responses remain invisible for us, while codes referring to a request processing error are displayed on the screen. In this article, we will analyze the main standard types of errors and the possible causes of their occurrence.

4** Client error response (400-499).
HTTP status codes 400-499 indicate an error on the client side of the browser. For example, a request for a non-existent page or lack of valid authentication information. Also, it may be incorrect settings of the web server, site scripts, etc.

Error 400. Bad Request.
Indicates that the request cannot be understood by the server, as it was not made correctly. An invalid URL may have been specified, or a technical failure occurred while transferring data for one of the following reasons:
- unstable Internet connection;
- blocking data transfer by antivirus or firewall;
- browser attempting to download a file that is too large;
- corrupt or expired cookies.

Error 401. Unauthorized.
This code means that authentication is required to access the resource. The login and password were not included in the server's request.

Error 403. Forbidden.
The server cannot fulfill the request due to access restrictions on the resource. In other words, restrictions were imposed by the server administrator or developers. Reasons may be an attempt to access web server system resources such as .htaccess or .htpasswd files, or from a blocked IP address.

Error 404. Not Found.
It is the most common error code. The server cannot find the file or page. The reason may be:
- wrong page address;
- the page has been moved or deleted;
- technical failure due to which the page is temporarily unavailable.
The 404 error code is also used to hide the real reason for refusing to process a request. For security reasons, a 403 error can be disguised as a 404 error.

Error 405. Method Not Allowed.
For each type of operation (download, data transfer), the HTTP protocol requires its own method: GET, POST, and others. This error means that the method defined in the Request-Line cannot be applied to the current resource. It can be displayed, for example, when trying to process files using the POST method instead of the Apache server, or when the interaction between the POST method and the FastCGI module is incorrectly configured.

Error 406. Not Acceptable.
It is a quite rare error that means "the server issues information in a form that the browser or crawler cannot recognize due to data compression or an unsupported format".

Error 407. Proxy Authentication Required.
The error is similar to code 401. The only difference is the authentication is required for the proxy server. As usually, the answer contains recommendations for its fixing.

Error 408. Request timed out.
It means that server timed out for transmission from client. It occurs when large sized files are being transferred, or there is a temporary loss of Internet connectivity, or the server is temporarily overloaded. You can solve this error simply by reloading the page, as well as checking the Internet connection or visit the resource later.

Error 409. Conflict.
Indicates a conflict between the request and the server configuration. Possible reasons:
- conflict with proxies through which the server is accessed;
- access conflict between files on the server itself;
- virus software on the user's device;
- failures in the browser.

Error 410. Gone.
It is similar to a 404 error: The requested page or document is not available. However, a 410 error is displayed when the requested resource has been irreversibly deleted.

Error 411. Length required.
When files are transferred by certain methods and the amount of transferred data is limited, the server refuses to accept a request without a Content-Length header.

Error 412. Precondition failed.
This error means that a precondition processing failure or error was encountered while checking one or more request header fields. To fix the error, it is usually enough to clear the cache and cookies.

Error 413. Request Entity Too Large.
It is displayed when the request is larger than the web server can handle, such as when a file is too large to download. To eliminate it is recommended:
- to compress an image or video before uploading to decrease file size;
- do not upload multiple files at the same time;
- to allow the large file size by changing the settings of the web server that are referred to downloading.

Error 414. Request-URI Too Long.
The server is rejecting the request because the specified URI is too long. This error can occur when the CMS code is configured incorrectly. In the administration panel, each time you go from page to page, data with parameters is added to the URL until the link exceeds the limit. Also, the frequency of displaying error 414 may indicate hacking attempts.

Error 415. Unsupported Media Type.
The server refuses to process a request with the specified data type because the request body has an unsupported format.

Error 416. Range Not Satisfiable.
The server cannot process the request because the Range field in the request header is specified by a range outside the resource.

Error 417. Expectation Failed.
The server for some reason cannot satisfy the value of the requested Expect field header and refuses to process the request.

Error 422. Unprocessable Entity.
This error indicates that the server cannot perform the request because one or more elements may have a logical error.

Error 423. Locked.
The server is refusing to process the request as one of the required resources is blocked to apply this specified method.

Error 424. Failed Dependency.
This error occurs when the server's implementation of the current request depends on another operation that cannot be performed.

Error 426. Upgrade Required.
The server requested to update the connection protocol, but SSL is not supported by the client.

Error 429. Too Many Requests.
Indicates that the user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time. As usually, the response indicates how long to wait before making a new request. It can also point to an attempted DDoS attack.

Error 451. Unavailable For Legal Reasons.
Means that access to the resource was closed for legal reasons. This may be the requirement of public authorities or copyright holders in copyright infringement cases.

Error 499. Client Closed Request.
This is a non-standard code for cases where the client closed the connection without waiting for a response to his request.

5** Server error responses (500–599).
These codes are referred to the errors on the server side. They say that the request is correct and meets all the requirements of the server, but at the moment the server cannot process it. Usually, an explanation of the error is displayed with the code...

*[Due to forum character limit, see full text in the blog: https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/HTTP-error-codes]*

...This is such an impressive list. But those are just standard errors! Experimental or draft are not included to the list. Experience has proven that errors 403, 404, 504 are the most common. They are easy to remember. In other cases, you can always turn to the LLHOST INC. blog, which replenishes your “knowledge bank” weekly.

Why does your business need a virtual server?

Every business owner, in order to dominate the market or expand his company, has to optimize it with various IT technologies. So, different online shops, information portals and websites of companies not only host their own website, but also implement various control systems related to the storage and management of information. In this case, virtual servers can assist you. They are an excellent alternative to physical servers, which take up a lot of office space and require a significant investment to organize and maintain.

A virtual server can perform many different tasks, being, in fact, a universal solution for any business. Let's consider the most popular of them.

Corporate websites.
Hosting your corporate website requires significant processing capacity and enhanced security. This is a prerequisite for the web resources that store personal data. Virtual servers have an individual environment with its operating system and software used only by your company.

Online shops.
For a fast and steady running trading platforms, you just need a powerful virtual server. According to the statistics of Data Insight, a research agency specializing in the Internet market, one of the most important factors for online shoppers is the quick download pages and the ability to make a successful purchase.

Media content platforms.
These include photo stocks, video hosting, music services, etc. Such resources must withstand a large server load, not to cause delays when uploading and downloading files. A virtual server will provide maximum speed even during extreme traffic peaks.

Email server.
It's quite impossible to imagine a company that does not use email. It is used both in internal communication and in communication with customers and partners: for promotional mailings, notice updates, etc. A unique domain email address, control and restrictions on accessing the mailbox, creation of new or additional email addresses - these are the main advantages of your own email server.

IP calls.
Virtual Servers LLHOST INC. can be used for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls. They are powerful enough to install all the required software and store all the call recordings. It is a great solution for call centres, customer support or companies whose activities are related to telephone calls.

Virtual work environment.
We've already covered all the advantages of a remote desktop (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/All-about-Remote-Desktop). Virtual work environment is an ideal solution for different departments or employees working on the same project and interacting with each other on an ongoing basis. This will allow access at any time from anywhere, while protecting the company's confidential information.

Automation of business processes.
Most companies have already implemented 1C, CRM, databases, billing systems and others to automate their business processes. That software can be easily setted up and configured on a virtual server with access limitation depending on the employee's activities.

Databases.
It is recommended to store databases on a separate server. This will prevent the loss of information in case your PC is affected by a malicious virus or an attack on the company's website, because you're the only one who has access to the server.

Your own VPN.
While free VPNs are insecure as well as many paid apps are geo-restricted, it's easy to set up your own VPN on a virtual server to increase your online privacy and security. You can find all the instructions on How to set up your own VPN on LLHOST INC. virtual servers in our blog (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-create-your-own-VPN-server-easily).

Creative agencies.
Virtual servers allow you to connect an unlimited number of domains and databases. Thanks to this, you will be able to develop and test numerous websites or services, which will run uninterruptedly.

This is why a virtual server is one of the prerequisites for the development and expansion of any company.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/How%20to%20choose%20a%20VPN_%20EN.png

How to choose a VPN?

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology for a secure and private connection to a network that allows access to resources and services with geo-restrictions. There is a great number of VPN services available today, both applications and servers, both paid and free (their comparison can be found here (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-choose-a-VPN-application-or-a-VPN-server)). And if all the providers declare anonymity, then how to choose the best service among similar ones?

Let's start with the main advantages of using a VPN:
• anonymous use of the Internet;
• data encryption during transmission;
• access to resources with geo-restrictions;
• remote access to work/home PC;
• safe connection to the public Wi-Fi hotspots.

What are the criteria for choosing a VPN provider? We have prepared 9 tips for you to help you find the perfect service for you.

1. Choose the possibility of multi-connections.
If you want to use VPN for all the gadgets in your home, or even an entire department at work, it's important to choose a VPN provider that allows you to connect multiple devices at the same time.

2. Check device compatibility.
Some VPN services support certain operating systems. When choosing a provider, it's important to make sure that all platforms you use are supported.

3. Explore possible payment methods.
Being able to pay for the services from any country in the world in any currency, including cryptocurrency, is one of the advantages of LLHOST INC. Earlier we've published a full list of available ways of payment in our blog (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Paying-from-anywhere-in-the-world-in-any-currency-Yes-it-s-real).

4. Pay attention to the Data Centres' locations.
Using a VPN will always cause slower speeds. It can be a slight slowdown or a sharper one. The farer you are to the Data Centre, the more speed loose will be. So we recommend connecting to VPN servers that are geographically closer to you.

Important! Keep in mind, that the power of your device as well as the speed of your Internet connection also affect the overall download speed.

5. Make sure the provider is reliable.
A free VPN is characterized by traffic restrictions, bandwidth restrictions and, most importantly, a dubious privacy policy. This means that your personal data can be provided to the third parties.

6. Identify geo-blocked content locations.
In order to access geo-restricted resources, it is important not only to connect to a VPN server, but also to make sure that the content is available in the country(s) you connect with. VPN servers from LLHOST INC. have frequently reaffirmed that they can bypass all blocking (for example, Netflix).

7. Check bandwidth limitations.
Bandwidth limits, as well as exceeding the allocated amount of bandwidth, can affect the speed.

8. Query the protocols to be used.
For increased privacy, make sure your provider uses modern VPN protocols such as OpenVPN and WireGuard.

9. Look for a VPN provider with customer support.
All VPN services are constantly working on optimization, so it is very important to be able to contact customer support at any time. The ideal solution is 24/7 technical support.

These simple tips, combined with cybersecurity rules, will help solve the issue of confidentiality and data safety, as well as protect against hacking threats, which is especially important for business security and maintaining brand reputation. Therefore, VPN servers from LLHOST INC. not only provide an additional level of privacy and security, but also guarantee a high-speed connection and access to any content around the world.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Managed%20vs%20Unmanaged%20server.%20Which%20one%2 0to%20choose_%20EN.png

Managed vs Unmanaged server. Which one to choose?

Hosting providers offer a wide range of products to meet all the users' needs. There are some basic specifications in order to choose a VPS:
- high uptime,
- technical support available 24/7,
- ability to scale plans,
- additional security services, etc.
You can learn more about this from the post (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/How-to-choose-a-VPS) in our blog.

To continue the subject of VPS selection, let's look at what managed, and unmanaged servers are, and what are used for.

Managed hosting ensures that your server is administrated by the provider. In fact, you get additional services to the standard configurations of unmanaged hosting, such as software updates, mailbox, database management, installation of add-ons, which, of course, are reflected in the price of the plan. It can be recommended for users with no technical knowledge on server operation. As usually, the functionality is limited and depends on the service provider.

An unmanaged VPS is completely controlled by the customer. The software and operating system configuration, as well as total control over server configurations and operation, allow you to customize the server environment according to your preferences.

An unmanaged VPS has several advantages over a managed VPS.

The primary benefit of an unmanaged VPS is full control (in terms of bandwidth, memory, software installation and storage usage). Flexibility in settings allows you to install selected applications that best meet your needs or are required for specific tasks. It's easy to create a separate environment within the server or isolate resources for different projects. Finally, unmanaged VPS servers are ideal for businesses with high bandwidth requirements.

What factors should be considered when choosing an unmanaged VPS?

Virtualization. Learn the available features of virtualization software. VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) are based on KVM, which has more core settings and more software options available.

Resources. Over time, your project will expand and require additional resources. Ensure you can scale your plan as needed.

OS compatibility. Not all providers offer unmanaged Windows VPS or all Windows OS distributions, and the same can be said about Linux.

OS distributions. If you need a specific OS version, make sure it's on the provider's services list.

Uptime. Make sure your server provider has minimal downtime. VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz)’ uptime rates to date are 99.9%.

Additional services. Some projects may require additional components, such as IP addresses. We recommend choosing a provider that can offer these services.

Technical support. Despite the fact that an unmanaged VPS implies full control over the system, LLHOST INC.'s multi-lingual support is available 24/7 for any queries.

The decision to select a VPS is based on your technical experience, project needs, budget, etc.

We just want to kindly remind you that Black Friday MONTH is in full swing! And VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. gets -50% OFF with the promo code #BlackFriday50! Hurry up to apply it before December 25, 2022 and share it with your friends, because the promo code can be applied by an unlimited number of users.

Note! The discount is valid for 3 months of the monthly billing cycle and may not be combined with other special offers.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/6%20tips%20to%20check%20the%20server%20before%20th e%20Christmas%20holidays.png

6 tips to check the server before the Christmas holidays.

Winter holidays always come with long weekends. Someone decides to spend it with family and friends, and someone leaves for a vacation. Anyway, you don't want to get back to work, even for a minute.

We have prepared for you a list of recommendations to check the server before the long vacation, so that you can celebrate without worrying about your projects.

1. Check your balance.
Server invoice is the most important and, at the same time, most often forgotten to pay. Check the time frame of your services. We recommend that you make sure that your balance is not zero. It is even better to pay in advance so that the server is not stopped for non-payment. Also, in the case of a bank payment method, take into consideration some time for the funds to be credited to your account.

Don't forget that you also need to verify payment for additional services, such as domain name, SSL certificate (if used), IP addresses, services provided under a paid subscription. For example, an SSL certificate has to be installed on the server instead of the expired one, even if you have automated payments.

2. Set up tracking.
During the holidays, there is always an increased load on the servers, which can result in their downtime. The risks of other external factors are also not excluded as well. A tracking service will notify you of any issue that occurs. It can be achieved through scripts that send emails or by installing special tracking apps.

3. Keep logins and passwords within your reach.
Ensure that you always have access "keys" with you, at least to the main resources: your email account, personal account and server. They can be saved, for example, in a password manager or notes on a mobile phone. This will save you time and allow you to solve any problem promptly, because it may happen that due to the lack of access to a resource, any minor problem will turn into a global one.

4. Ensure free storage.
Lack of disk space is one of the frequent reasons why your project is unavailable. You can test the upload to the server with special utilities, commands, or tracking services. We recommend that you check these settings:
• cache space that your project requires,
• log files,
• backups that are saved to the same disk,
• at least 40% of space is available.

5. Keep backup copies.
Backup is necessary to form a data archive that is protected from changes and damage, as well as to restore the project in case of damage or failures in the original source. Save all data back up before the holidays using the "3-2-1" rule. It consists of creating 3 copies at a time, 2 of which are stored on physical storage devices and the other in digital format.

6. Improve network security and DDoS protection.
Server security is always our priority, and is particularly relevant during vacations. Almost every Internet project, from business applications to web development and online services, requires increased fault tolerance, performance and data protection. We recommend switching passwords and using servers with anti-DDoS services. VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. include DDoS mitigations that scan all incoming traffic and cut suspicious packets in accordance with established rules.

These simple tips will allow you to avoid unnecessary worries on the server during the winter vacation. In addition, you can also get a DDoS-protected virtual server for half the price!

LLHOST INC. is still on Black Friday MONTH! Until December 25, 2022 VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) are available with a -50% discount on the website (https://my.llhost-inc.eu/index.php?rp=/store/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) or with the promo code #BlackFriday50.

Avatar: The Way of Water. Worldwide release.

Released in 2009, “Avatar” was a huge success and continues to be the highest grossing movie of all time. So 13 years later, since the movie hit the public, we're going back to Pandora. December 16, 2022 is the day when the world will see the next chapter of the story. It is the date of the world premiere of the eagerly awaited sequel "Avatar: The Way of the Water".

The release of the movie was planned for December 2014. However, its launch has been delayed eight times because of multiple pre-production problems, as it was designed to be a visual show with staggering effects and the best 3D technologies. The pre-broadcast took place earlier in London, and almost all participants agreed that director James Cameron is definitely creating different visuals of everything we've seen on the screen before. And “Avatar: The Way of Water” also has a more personal emotional development of the story. 3 hours and 12 minutes of CNA hours seems to make up for the long wait between films.

In an interview, Cameron said, "I felt I had to do the same thing [as Jackson did with The Lord of the Rings]. I had to play this as if the books already existed. So the only way for us to do that was to write all the scripts and let the actors read all the scripts and see where their characters were going and what it all meant".

Long before he began working on the sequel, he spent several years writing “The Avatar Bible”, where he described the entire saga: world, mindset and characters. And this time, James Cameron also took on the role of screenwriter with Josh Friedman, author of War of the Worlds, and Terminator: Dark Fate.

An official synopsis says, "Jake Sully is living with his new family on planet Pandora. Once the troubles begin to follow them, he co-operates with Neytiri and the Na'vi army to protect his planet". This only unveils the mystery as well as the trailers.

The production crew specified that the film focuses on Jake, whose human consciousness has been permanently loaded into his Na'vi body. Along with Neytiri and their children, he is forced to leave their home and explore other areas of Pandora, including its oceans, in order to save their family. While “Avatar: The Way of Water” is the sequel to the first film, the team has repeatedly pointed out that this is a full-fledged story.

Looking forward for Cameron to once again makes a 3D revolution in cinemas, we're going to the premiere of “Avatar: The Way of Water” with you.

And yes, good news are never not much! We remind you that -50% discount for VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. with DDoS protection (L3-L4) is extended until December 25, 2022.

How to make a server migration?

Data migration is the process of a one-time mass movement of large amounts of data from a source system to a destination system, in which the operation of data in the source system is terminated.

During the migration process, we can't avoid a temporary downtime of both servers. Also, the complexity of the process depends on the type and volume of data being moved. There are steps to help facilitate the process:

1. Determine the type and status of the data, such as format and confidentiality, taking into consideration any changes they may receive during migration.
2. Plan your migration time: since migration involves a downtime period, this can affect the work of all project members.
3. Back up your data in order to have access to all available files and, if required, use them for recovery.
4. Monitor the process, even if everything goes well; there may be some issues after the process is completed.

Depending upon your options, the following migration methods are available:

Migration via Control Panel.
If the source system uses one of the control panels, the migration process will be much simpler. They usually contain back-up and recovery options. For example, during your website migration, you may need to update the configuration to use your VPS' IP address. When the installation is complete, you will need to update your DNS records to point to your VPS.

Migration via a unique or non-use Control Panel.
If the source system (hosting provider) does not use a control panel or uses its own, or you do not want to use a control panel for your VPS, then you'll have to do some extra steps. Using the example of a website migration, once you backup and complete your configurations, you may need to manually install additional software on your new VPS.

Migration carried out by LLHOST INC. technicians.
LLHOST INC. team is ready to help you set up the server, organize and prepare the migration. To do this, select any VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) plan and, after server activation, send a migration request through the ticket system (https://my.llhost-inc.eu/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=8). Data transfer is done automatically by fully copying and then deploying the entire file system and its settings (OS and software) on the new platform, excluding temporary files or directories.

To reduce your concern about the migration process even more, LLHOST INC. is coming up with an interesting offer for you: a -35% discount on all VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) plans for 3 months of the monthly billing cycle.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/En.%20What%20is%20the%20best%20VPS%20hosting%20ser vice_.png

What is the best VPS hosting service?

Virtual servers (VPS) are one of the best business solutions around the world today. It is useful not just for the IT community involved in web development or online shops, but also for enterprises using the services of an email server, IP telephony or CCTV server.

VPS is a must for complex web projects with high traffic, which is supported by a reliable hardware solution.

On a virtual server, you can deploy any version of the system libraries and configure existing ones. Full access to the root directories will enable you to change, add or remove files, change the operating system and make modifications to the software.

When using a VPS server, the dedicated resources are guaranteed: RAM, CPU, storage, which make your server operate fast and independent of other users.

LLHOST INC. team improves its services daily to ensure our users get the best products. We aim to provide the highest level of service by increasing anti-DDoS protection. At the same time, a high level of productivity and maximum uptime are retained.

83% of our customers continued using VPS Netherlands from LLHOST INC. after first month of use.

Why do they choose virtual servers from LLHOST INC.?

The main advantages of VPS Netherlands are:

High security level.
VPS Netherlands includes protection from DDoS attacks (L3-L4), and 24/7 multilingual technical support ready to solve any issues as quickly as possible.

Server's performance and power.
All hardware is based on Dell platforms, latest generation AMD and Intel® Xeon® processors, REG ECC RAM, enterprise-class SSDs. As a result of these technical specifications, there will be sufficient power and memory for all needs. You can distribute resources in different directions, create an email server, cloud storage, install your own software, etc.

Quick installation.
SLA setup is 10 minutes. You can start using VPS immediately, without installing extensions. The virtual server receives all required startup information from the parent host.

Server scalability.
As the amount of data increases and the power needs to be increased, it is possible to scale any VPS Netherlands plan.
You can also perform nested virtualization or request an extra IP address.

Root access.
You manage the server with administrator rights, so that all processes running on the server are under your control. You can modify the settings for your project's needs, install additional software, edit or replace the files in the system.

Dedicated IP address.
It helps to protect from accidental blockades caused by the actions of "neighbors". A dedicated IP address is required when setting up an e-mail service or FTP server for exchanging files, when creating VPN channels.

Price and payment.
All the possible payment methods of LLHOST INC. allow you to make transactions in any currency from anywhere in the world (find the full list in our blog (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/Paying-from-anywhere-in-the-world-in-any-currency-Yes-it-s-real)).

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/En.%20What%20a%20Virtual%20Server%20is%20NOT%20a%2 0Solution%20for.png

What a Virtual Server is NOT a Solution for?

In our blog, we have talked about all the benefits and advantages of virtual servers (VPS) several times. Whether it's storage of personal data or creating VPN channels, deploying IP telephony, a CCTV or a mail server (see the articles “Why does your business need a virtual server?” (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/why-does-your-business-need-a-virtual-server), "QA environment on a virtual server" (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/qa-environment-on-a-virtual-server), "What is the best VPS hosting service?" (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/blog/What-is-the-best-VPS-hosting-service)).

Today we are going to discuss on what a virtual server is NOT a solution for.

Thus, cases where VPS will not be helpful to your business:

Storage of bank data or state secrets.
Processing and storing confidential data requires high-level security and control that no virtual server is yet able to provide. The "Concerning Personal Data" law in many countries requires physical data protection and security practices. Often, such organizations use a hybrid infrastructure: some of the data is stored on a virtual server (including the QA environment), and critical information is stored on a physical one.

IT conservatism.
IT-technologies offer ever more advanced methods of processing, monitoring and management. And if it's sometimes difficult if they help or if they just exist in parallel, allowing us to enter their world, pay attention to the world's leading successful brands. There are few who today do not use modern virtualization capabilities, cloud-based solutions or big data.

Older hardware and software.
Is your operating system version pre-2000s, and is your database stored on floppy disks? Based on the above, older versions of software and components block the transition to the VM environment. This means the business must make fundamental changes to its IT infrastructure.

Financial indifference.
You're unlikely to ignore IT service maintenance costs, such as budget for hardware purchase and repair, software upgrades, team of experts. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost of physical servers is heavy. Virtual servers help prevent capital investment in hardware. All you have is just small monthly payments for the necessary specifications. The provider takes care of everything else.

No plans to develop the business.
If today you decide to stop there or don't see any development possibilities, tomorrow everything can change in a spectacular way. Increase in customer base or services always requires scaling the IT infrastructure. And migrating to a virtual server will prepare your company for fast growth as much as possible.

For all other solutions, there are VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/The%20Last%20of%20Us%20Premiere.%20En.png

TV Show The Last of Us. Premiere Weeks Review.

WARNING! This text may be followed by spoilers!

The first video-game "The Last of Us" from Naughty Dog’s developers, was released back in 2013 exclusively for PlayStation consoles. This story of the post-apocalyptic world has struck a chord with so many users, that it has been constantly updated with various DLCs and remastered versions of the video-game, as well as four comic books as a spin-off.

Thus, nearly 10 years later, HBO presented the eponymous TV show to fans of "The Last of Us". It debuted on January 15, 2023, and is already determined #1 on IMDb's "Most Watched TV Shows" with a 9.3 user rating.

We went through the reviews of the first two series on the network. The opinion of the critics is unanimous: "The Last of Us" is better than the cult "The Walking Dead".

“Empire”, a British film magazine, named “TLoU” the best adaptation of the video-game: “Comfortably the best adaptation of a video-game ever made: one that deepens the video-game’s dystopian lore, while staying true to its emotional core. Like the video-game, it’s a masterpiece, too.”

Indeed, the TV adaptation follows the video-game's original storyline, keeping all the most thrilling moments.

“NME”, one of Time Warner's largest magazines, noted that the authors revealed the missed moments of the video-game: “Mazin and Druckmann have opted to expand their world rather than remake it – filling in the gaps that were previously left blank.”

Thus, the series "The Last of Us" not only adds details to the video-game, but also acts as an entry point for those not familiar with the story. The action takes place in the United States after a global epidemic caused by a mutated Cordyceps fungus. The cities were destroyed alongside the population. The survivors, a smuggler Joel and a teenage Ellie, cross the ruins to get out of the quarantine zone.

No doubt, the imitated key scenes from the video-game are delightful, but the "terrifying" details deserve special attention: the appearances of the infected, their fuzzy tendrils crawl out of their mouths like nested xenomorphs, mushroomed scalps... Even the old paint scabbing over walls and fungal veins crawling across floors was taken into account and imitated in the series.

No negative reviews were found for "The Last of Us'' as of this writing. It was also highly rated by LLHOST INC.'s team. We are also interested in your opinion. So we prepared two promo codes at the same time: HBOTLOU-LIKE for those who liked the series, and HBOTLOU-DISLIKE for those who think the video-game would be sufficient. Apply them when ordering VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. and benefit from a -25% discount during 3 months of the monthly billing cycle.*

Let's see how you cast a vote ;)

*The discount is valid until February 10, 2023 and cannot be combined with other special offers.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/Server%20logs.%20En.png

Why are server logs necessary?

Server logs are records of what is happening on a server. They contain information about all events occurring on the server, including user requests, server errors, security events, performance and configuration information, and more. These logs serve many different purposes, and in this article, we will explore how they can be used and how they can help us.

Logs (log files) are files containing system information about the operation of a server or computer, in which information about a request is recorded, including the user's IP address, time of the request, requested resource, and response code.

Server log files are necessary for the following purposes:

Server logs can be used to comply with security and regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Storing server logs allows organizations to demonstrate compliance and provide evidence in case of an audit.

Trend analysis.
Server logs can be used to assess changes in server load over the course of a day, week, or month. This information can help plan server rental expenses and optimize its operation.

Server logs analysis provides many advantages. They help detect malware, various errors, improve server security, and even analyze all server traffic. Depending on the operating system, server logs can be found in various directories, often in the corresponding /logs directory.

LLHOST INC. offers virtual servers that provide a high degree of security and performance. Powerful monitoring systems allow you to access server logs in real-time. Additionally, until March 3, 2023, VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. are available with a special -15% discount on any plan.*

10 Advantages of KVM Virtualization You Need to Know.

Today, no hosting service provider can do without virtualization. Indeed, in recent years, this technology has expanded its boundaries beyond the IT sphere, as it can significantly increase the efficiency of equipment use, reduce maintenance costs and improve overall system flexibility.

In this article, we will consider the main aspects of servers on KVM virtualization, its advantages and applications in the modern world. We will also talk about the technologies used to manage resources and ensure system security.

Among the most popular hardware virtualization technologies for VPS are KVM, VMware, Hyper-V, Xen, and others. All of these hypervisors allow multiple virtual machines to run on a physical server, using the hardware capabilities of the processor to efficiently divide resources between virtual machines.

Each of them has its pros and cons, but KVM is considered one of the most effective and flexible options. For example, the Hyper-V hypervisor, developed by Microsoft, was created to run Windows OS VPS, while KVM supports a wide range of guest operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, and others, making it more flexible and universal.

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtualization is a Linux kernel-level virtualization technology that allows you to create virtual machines based on the resources of a physical server.

4. Scalability.
KVM allows to easily scale virtual machines based on user needs, as well as create and maintain numerous virtual machines on a single host with different specifications (CPU, RAM and Storage), making it an attractive choice for enterprises and large companies.

5. Community and support.
With a large community of developers and users, KVM provides extensive documentation, support and development of this technology.

6. Integration with other technologies.
KVM can be integrated with other technologies, such as OpenStack, allowing it to be used in various virtualization scenarios. And thanks to integration with backup and recovery mechanisms, KVM is highly reliable.

7. Various encryption methods.
KVM can use various encryption methods to provide an additional level of security.

8. Quick virtual machine creation.
KVM allows you to quickly create and delete virtual machines, making it convenient for testing and development.

9. Storage types.
KVM allows for the use of various storage types, including local disks, network storage, and SAN and NAS-based storage.

10. LIVE MIGRATION support.
KVM allows migration of virtual machines from physical servers without downtime, which provides higher availability and ease of management.

Predicting your questions about other hypervisors, the answer is: the choice of virtualization depends on specific needs and tasks. If you need high performance and flexibility, security and scalability, as well as availability and low cost, KVM based VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. is the ideal choice.

A day in history: the advent of the WWW.

Today, the internet has become an essential part of our lives, facilitating communication with friends and family, information searching, shopping, education, entertainment, and of course, business. Thanks to the internet, companies can find customers from anywhere in the world, providing small businesses with the same opportunities as large corporations in the market.

Let's go back to the beginning of March 1989. 34 years ago, English scientist Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, presented a global hypertext project called the World Wide Web (WWW). To implement it, Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) were invented, which became the foundation of WWW. Later, the technical specifications of these standards were improved and presented to users. Nevertheless, 1989 is still officially recognized as the birth year of the World Wide Web.

Initially, the World Wide Web served as a communication tool between CERN employees. In the 1990s, the internet became available to a wider audience through the first browsers: Mosaic, Netscape, and Internet Explorer. However, most users primarily used it for email exchange and communication on forums, since the internet library at that time could not boast modern volumes of information.

The development of internet technologies in recent decades has given us social networks, messengers, audio and video platforms, streaming services, AI technologies, and we can hardly imagine our lives without them. Like any technology, the World Wide Web will continue to evolve and change in the future.

The factors that will determine internet trends are:

‣ Growth in devices with the internet connection: it creates new opportunities for communication and interaction with other people and technologies.

‣ Artificial intelligence and augmented reality: already widely used in various fields and will be directed towards improving the user experience on the internet.

‣ Improvement in internet speed and availability: for example, 5G internet guarantees higher data transfer speeds and lower latency, allowing for full use of virtual reality and autonomous vehicles.

‣ Development of "smart" devices (IoT): in the future, IoT devices will be connected in a global network to create smarter and more efficient systems.

‣ Cybersecurity: with the growth in the number of devices connected to the internet, cybersecurity becomes increasingly important and leads to the development of new technologies and methods for protecting information from cyber attacks.

‣ Data privacy: technologies for protecting user privacy and legislative control over the collection and use of personal data will be strengthened.

For LLHOST INC., it is important to stay up to date with the latest technological trends and provide the highest level of security for our users. We are proud to use modern equipment and constantly improve our technologies to guarantee high-quality service. We also remind you that the spring discount of -40% on any VPS Netherlands plan (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz), is still valid until March 31, 2023.*

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/DDOS.%20En.png

DOS attack and DDoS attack: are they the same thing?

Attacks on computer systems and networks have become a common occurrence in the modern world. According to Infosecurity Magazine, a journal on information security, the number of DDoS attacks in 2022 increased by 74% annually. The most vulnerable sectors were: fintech industry (34%), telecommunications (26%), and e-commerce (17%). Microsoft recorded an average of 1435 attacks per day, with the highest number of attacks in a single day being recorded on September 22, 2022, with 2215 attacks.

The two most common types of attacks are DoS and DDoS, aimed at overloading a system and causing it to fail. Let's understand the essence of these concepts and what security measures can be taken.

DoS (Denial of Service) attack is a type of attack on a computer system in which an attacker tries to disrupt the service of the system or service. Various techniques are used, such as sending a large number of requests or data packets to the system, overloading its resources, and exploiting vulnerabilities in software. DoS attacks can be launched from one computer or several located in the same network.

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a more complex and common type of attack that uses so-called botnets - a group of computers or devices infected with malicious software to simultaneously launch an attack on the target system or service. The ability to distribute the load across multiple computers makes DDoS attacks more effective and difficult to detect and stop, and devices can be used without the knowledge of their owners.

Thus, the main difference between DOS and DDoS attacks is that a DOS attack is launched from a single computer or a few computers within the same network, while a DDoS attack uses a group of computers located in different places.

DDoS attacks can be classified as L3-L4 (network and transport layers) and L7 (application layer). L3 and L4 DDoS attacks are aimed at overloading network resources such as network bandwidth, routers, switches, and other network devices, as well as fraudulent purposes such as extortion.

VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) from LLHOST INC. include L3-L4 DDoS attack protection systems that operate at the network protocol level. These systems are capable of processing a large volume of traffic and quickly responding to attacks to prevent service disruptions. To do this, they use traffic filtering methods such as connection throttling or blocking certain IP addresses to prevent network overload.

To protect from DDoS attacks directed against VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz), LLHOST INC. employs the following methods:

1. Using specialized software to detect and block attacks.
2. Regularly updating the software used on network devices and servers.
3. Increasing network bandwidth to provide greater resilience to DDoS attacks.
4. Using cloud resources to distribute the load and ensure high service availability.

Until March 31, 2023, you can get any of VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) plans for 6 months with a -40% discount when choosing monthly billing cycle.

How to Improve VPS Performance: Tips from Experts.

Virtual private servers (VPS) are an excellent solution for many projects today. However, like any other server, a VPS requires a certain level of performance to ensure fast and reliable operation. There are many ways to optimize a web server. In this article, we will provide some tips from our experts on how to improve VPS performance.

Operating system update.
The first step to improve VPS performance is to update the operating system. This will help improve security and fix any version errors. In addition, timely updates contribute to optimizing server speed.

Software update.
New versions of software can also increase VPS performance and fix bugs that slow down the server. Make sure you are using the latest software versions.

Server settings optimization.
The third tip for improving VPS performance is to optimize your server settings. For example, a server could be software that manages requests to your website and delivers content to users. By setting optimal configuration settings such as memory settings, processor settings, network settings, etc., you can improve website loading speed and reduce server load. These settings can be done through the server's control panel, or may require changes to configuration files and operating system settings.

Software monitoring.
Each project requires different software for its implementation and operation. Too many applications installed on your VPS can lead to increased server load and decreased performance. Depending on the needs of your project and VPS capacity, you can scale your server, which will lead to efficient use of its resources.

VPS scaling.
VPS capacity also affects the performance of your server. Based on data on the volume of resources used by your projects, you can increase, for example, CPU, RAM, storage for your virtual server to ensure optimal performance.

Using caching.
Caching can significantly reduce the number of database requests, which will reduce the load on the VPS and speed up applications, especially with repeated requests. Caching can be implemented at the application level or using special software tools.

Database optimization.
The database is an extremely important part of your project and can be a source of performance issues, especially if it contains a lot of data or is used inefficiently. There are several ways to optimize the database, including indexing, cleaning the database of unused data, and optimizing queries. These actions will help speed up data access and reduce request execution time.

Performance tracking.
We recommend installing one of the server performance monitoring tools and regularly tracking the performance of your server in order to quickly identify issues and take appropriate measures to improve its performance

These are just some of the additional actions you can take to improve the performance of your VPS. All of them can be used depending on the specific situation and requirements of your project. It is important to understand that each virtual server is unique and requires an individual approach to optimize performance.

LLHOST INC. always strives to develop and provide its users not only modern and powerful servers, but also the necessary information related to their operation.

https://llhost-inc.eu/storage/articles/En.%20How%20to%20choose%20the%20optimal%20VPS%20co nfiguration%20for%20different%20tasks._.jpg

How to choose VPS configuration? Beginners guide.

As businesses and individuals turn to virtual private servers (VPS) for web hosting, it's essential to select the ideal VPS configuration to cater to specific tasks. With numerous options available, determining the perfect balance between performance and cost can be challenging. Here's a concise guide to help you choose the right VPS configuration tailored to your needs.

Understanding Your VPS Requirements
Before diving into VPS configurations, evaluate your specific needs, including:

Purpose: Are you hosting a website, running a database server, or developing a custom application?
Traffic: Will your VPS handle high traffic or a smaller audience?
Scalability: Does your project require the flexibility to expand or contract resources quickly?
Budget: What is your spending limit for a VPS solution?

Considering these factors, let's explore VPS configuration options for various tasks.

For Basic Websites and Blogs
If you're hosting a small-to-medium-sized website or blog with modest traffic, a cost-effective VPS configuration would include:

1-2 vCPUs (virtual CPUs)
2-4 GB RAM
20-40 GB SSD storage

This configuration allows you to manage your website smoothly, without incurring excessive expenses.

For eCommerce Websites and Web Applications
For online stores and complex web applications with higher traffic and increased demands, a more robust VPS configuration is necessary. Aim for:

2-4 vCPUs
4-8 GB RAM
40-80 GB SSD storage

This setup ensures faster load times and a seamless user experience, which are vital for retaining customers and increasing conversions.

For Database Servers and Custom Applications
If you're running a database server or developing custom applications with resource-intensive workloads, choose a powerful VPS configuration, such as:

4-8 vCPUs
8-16 GB RAM
80-160 GB SSD storage

This configuration provides enhanced performance for demanding tasks, ensuring your applications run efficiently and without hiccups.

Scalability and Bursty Traffic
Scalability is a crucial consideration for projects with unpredictable or fluctuating traffic. Opt for a VPS provider that allows you to scale your resources up or down quickly, ensuring optimal performance during peak times without overspending during quieter periods.

Managed vs. Unmanaged VPS
Another aspect to consider is whether you prefer a managed or unmanaged VPS. With a managed VPS, the provider takes care of server maintenance, updates, and security. This option is ideal for those with limited technical expertise or time constraints. In contrast, an unmanaged VPS offers more control and customization but requires advanced technical knowledge to manage and maintain the server.

To help you make the most out of your virtual hosting experience, LLHOST INC. is excited to offer a special 20% discount for 3 months on our VPS Netherlands (https://llhost-inc.eu/en/vps-netherlands?utm_source=external_paid&utm_medium=url_article&utm_campaign=f_thewebhostbiz) products!

Mastering VPS for File Storage: An All-Inclusive Guide

As the digital age progresses, the need for efficient, secure, and dependable file storage solutions is becoming more crucial for both businesses and individuals. Virtual Private Servers (VPS) present a powerful and adaptable answer to this demand. In this all-inclusive guide, we'll examine the various perks of using VPS for file storage, the steps to select a fitting VPS provider, and comprehensive instructions to configure your virtual server to safely store your precious data.

A VPS is a virtualized environment that lets you enjoy dedicated resources on a shared physical server. This technology offers several advantages over traditional server storage, including:


Scalability: VPS allows for easy resource scaling, like storage space and processing power, as your requirements change.
Cost-effectiveness: VPS only charges for the resources you use, making it a more budget-friendly choice than dedicated servers.
Customizability: You have full control over your virtual server, enabling tailored configurations to meet your specific needs.
Enhanced security: VPS provides higher security compared to shared hosting, as your files are isolated from other users on the same physical server.


2. Picking the Ideal VPS Provider
Choosing the right VPS provider is crucial to ensure top-notch performance and security for your file storage. When selecting a provider, consider:


Storage capacity: Make sure the provider offers enough storage space for your needs and future growth.
Uptime guarantees: Seek providers with high uptime guarantees, indicating reliable infrastructure.
Technical support: Choose providers with responsive and knowledgeable customer support for any issues that may arise.
Security features: Assess the security measures in place, such as data encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
Pricing: Compare pricing plans and the overall value of each provider's offering, considering the features and resources included.

After selecting a VPS provider, follow these steps to configure your virtual server for file storage:


Sign up for a VPS plan that suits your storage needs and budget.
Install your preferred operating system (OS) on your VPS, like Linux or Windows.
Update your OS and install necessary security patches for a secure environment.
Install a web server, like Apache or Nginx, to enable file transfer and access.
Set up an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, such as ProFTPD or vsftpd, for easy file uploads and downloads.
Configure your VPS's firewall to allow only necessary ports for secure file transfer and access.



4. Establishing Secure File Access on Your VPS
To make sure your files are safely accessible, follow these best practices:


Use robust authentication methods, such as SSH key pairs or two-factor authentication (2FA), to prevent unauthorized access.
Encrypt data in transit using protocols like SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or FTPS (FTP Secure) to avoid eavesdropping and tampering.
Regularly update your server software, including the web server, FTP server, and OS, to stay protected against security vulnerabilities.
Implement access controls by creating separate user accounts with varying permissions to restrict access to sensitive files.
Monitor server logs for any suspicious activity and set up alerts to notify you of potential security incidents.


5. Collaborative File Storage with VPS
VPS can be an excellent solution for teams requiring a centralized and secure platform for storing and sharing files. To set up a collaborative file storage environment, consider these steps:


Create dedicated user accounts for each team member, assigning appropriate permissions based on their roles.
Organize files into logical directories and subdirectories for easy navigation and file management.
Set up version control systems, such as Git or SVN, to track changes and maintain file history for collaborative projects.
Implement a backup strategy to regularly store copies of your files offsite or in another location, ensuring data recovery in case of accidental deletion or server failure.


6. Maintaining and Enhancing Your VPS
To ensure smooth operation of your VPS and maintain optimal performance, consider these maintenance and optimization tips:
Regularly monitor your VPS's resource usage, such as CPU, memory, and storage, to identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement.
