This will translate in a faster boot time, a faster database, a faster website and all in all, a much faster VPS. All our NVMe servers currently run on Intel Xeon Gold...
What Is VPS Hosting? VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, which is a virtual machine that uses virtualization technology to separate one server into multiple virtual servers. VPS hosting basically mimics the environment of a dedicated server. However, it is significantly cheaper because it is hosted on one physical server and users share that server with others. Additionally, with VPS hosting...

Why does it happen? There are millions of infected computers in the world constantly scanning the internet for open services, which try to brute force their way into your servers. New computers are infected each day, so banning them becomes a futile exercise. This is the reason we see so many failed login attempts when we login to our servers and this happens to any ssh server which runs on the...

Qubes OS is an operating system designed for security and nothing breaks the security faster than an unpatched system. Qubes notifies you when there are updates and you can do them on your own terms. But for the lazy and forgetful people like myself, we prefer the updates to be added automatically. Both in the templates and in the dom0. This is very easily achieved by using cron. Simply run the...
By default, accessing USB devices is disabled. Enabling USB access comes with specific security risks, but for most of us, it’s a necessity. For example, I need access to my YubiKey in a specific domain. Qubes uses a sys-vm called sys-usb to proxy the USB devices. Normally, this is created during the installation process (you are asked at the end). But if you do not have it, you can create...
