What is Webmin and How to Install It on Your Hosteons VPS

Leave a Comment on What is Webmin and How to Install It on Your Hosteons VPS

When managing a Linux server, command-line control is powerful — but not always beginner-friendly. That’s where Webmin comes in.

In this post, we’ll explain what Webmin is, why it’s useful, and how to install it on your Hosteons VPS in just a few steps.

🌐 What Is Webmin?

Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix/Linux servers. It allows you to manage your VPS using a graphical interface right from your browser — no need to memorize long terminal commands.

🧰 With Webmin, you can:

  • Create/manage users & groups
  • Install and configure services (Apache, MySQL, FTP, etc.)
  • Manage firewall rules and cron jobs
  • View logs, system info, and performance
  • Configure network settings
  • Mount/unmount disks
  • Restart services — all from a clean web UI

This makes it a fantastic tool for VPS users — especially those who are new to Linux.

✅ Why Use Webmin on a Hosteons VPS?

Hosteons VPS plans come with full root access, allowing you to install and configure tools like Webmin easily.

Whether you’re using your VPS for hosting websites, databases, VPNs, or just learning Linux, Webmin makes daily management simpler — without giving up power or flexibility.

🛠️ How to Install Webmin on Your Hosteons VPS

We’ll walk through the steps to install Webmin on Debian/Ubuntu, which are two of the most popular operating systems available with Hosteons VPS.

🔐 Note: Webmin uses HTTPS by default. Make sure port 10000 is open in your firewall.

📥 Step 1: Update Your System

SSH into your VPS:

ssh root@your_vps_ip

Then update your package list:

apt update && apt upgrade -y

🔑 Step 2: Add Webmin’s Repository & Key

Install required dependencies:

apt install wget gnupg2 -y

Add Webmin’s GPG key:

wget -qO- https://download.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/webmin.gpg

Add the Webmin repository:

echo "deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list

📦 Step 3: Install Webmin

Update and install Webmin:

apt update
apt install webmin -y

🌐 Step 4: Access Webmin in Your Browser

Once installed, Webmin runs on port 10000 by default.

Visit:

https://your-vps-ip:10000

🛡️ You’ll likely see a browser warning about the SSL certificate. This is normal for self-signed certs — just proceed.

🔐 Step 5: Log In

Use your root username and password (or sudo user) to log in.

Once inside, you’ll find a powerful web dashboard to manage your VPS.

🔄 Optional: Enable Webmin on Boot

It usually starts automatically, but to make sure:

systemctl enable webmin

You can also manage the service manually:

systemctl start webmin
systemctl stop webmin
systemctl restart webmin

🔁 Need to Allow Port 10000?

If you’re using UFW:

ufw allow 10000/tcp

Or with iptables:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT

✅ That’s It! You Now Have Webmin on Your Hosteons VPS

Webmin is a fantastic tool to make server administration easier and more visual. It’s lightweight, secure, and works great with all major Linux distributions.

💻 Need a VPS to get started?

🧠 Bonus Tip: Want even more features?

Webmin also supports:

  • Virtualmin (a cPanel-like module for website hosting)
  • Let’s Encrypt SSL setup
  • Scheduled backups
  • Package updates & monitoring

Perfect for developers, self-hosters, and small businesses.

🌐 Geopolitics, Tariffs & Hosting: Why Hosteons Remains Unshaken in a Shifting World

Leave a Comment on 🌐 Geopolitics, Tariffs & Hosting: Why Hosteons Remains Unshaken in a Shifting World

In 2025, the global tech and infrastructure landscape is more volatile than ever. From increasing geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions, to rising cross-border tariffs and payment restrictions, businesses are being forced to rethink how—and where—they host their digital assets.

For companies relying on global infrastructure, this creates a big question:

Is your hosting provider future-proof?

Let’s break down how these factors are affecting the hosting industry—and why Hosteons stands out as a stable, borderless solution.

🧭 The Global Climate: Politics Meets Infrastructure

In recent months, we’ve seen:

  • Countries placing export restrictions on server hardware
  • Trade wars affecting data center expansion and component supply chains
  • Payment processors limiting transactions in certain regions
  • Sanctions restricting access to cloud services in some countries

All of this means one thing for businesses:

Your hosting provider’s location and flexibility now matter more than ever.

🌍 The Hosting Industry Feels the Pressure

While the demand for virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated infrastructure keeps growing, many hosting companies are struggling with:

  • Hardware shortages due to import/export limitations
  • Billing issues from payment providers exiting specific regions
  • Rising costs from new tariffs or unstable currencies
  • Downtime risks from geopolitical disruption in key server hubs

For end users, this results in slower provisioning, reduced availability, unexpected service interruptions, or even frozen accounts.

🇸🇬 Why Hosteons Is Unaffected — and Future-Ready

At Hosteons, we anticipated these challenges — and built our infrastructure with resilience in mind:

✅ Singapore-Based Stability

Our headquarters in Singapore offers political neutrality, economic stability, and a pro-technology environment. We’re not tied to any one geopolitical influence — making us a safe hub in turbulent times.

✅ Global Server Locations

From the U.S. and Europe to Asia, our server presence is distributed across multiple jurisdictions, giving you choice and flexibility no matter where your audience is.

✅ Flexible, Borderless Payments

We support crypto payments (Bitcoin, USDT, ETH, DOGE, etc.), as well as local payment gateways like Alipay, UnionPay, QRIS (Indonesia), Dragonpay (Philippines), and more — ensuring clients worldwide can pay without friction.

✅ No Vendor Lock-In or Overselling

Unlike cloud giants affected by regional compliance or overuse of shared nodes, Hosteons provides raw power with real control — full root access, SSD storage, and instant setup via KVM VPS and Ryzen VDS.

🔐 Peace of Mind in an Unpredictable World

Your business shouldn’t suffer because of a trade war or payment block. Whether you’re a developer, a small business, or an enterprise scaling globally — you need hosting that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Hosteons is built for that.

🚀 The Bottom Line

While some providers scramble to adapt to a shifting global climate, Hosteons continues to offer uninterrupted service, fast deployment, and freedom from geopolitical roadblocks.

🛡️ How to Check If Your VPS Is Compromised or Infected

Leave a Comment on 🛡️ How to Check If Your VPS Is Compromised or Infected

If your VPS is behaving strangely, running slow, or using more resources than expected, it could be compromised. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for Hosteons clients to help detect common signs of infection or unauthorized access.

✅ Step 1: Check for Unusual CPU or Memory Usage

Start by checking if any process is consuming excessive resources:

top

or use:

htop

Look for unfamiliar processes, especially those using a high percentage of CPU or memory.

🧠 Step 2: Check for Unknown Network Connections

You can inspect open ports and active connections with:

ss -tulnp

Also try:

netstat -antup

Check for unknown IP addresses or ports your VPS shouldn’t be using (e.g., cryptomining pools, spam servers, etc.).

🔍 Step 3: Scan Running Processes

List all processes with their command line details:

ps auxf

Watch for suspicious scripts, base64-encoded strings, or unfamiliar binaries.

🔐 Step 4: Check for New or Unauthorized Users

List all users:

cat /etc/passwd

Check recent logins:

last

Or failed login attempts:

grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log

Watch for users or login attempts you don’t recognize.

🕵️ Step 5: Inspect Cron Jobs & Scheduled Tasks

Malware often installs cron jobs to maintain persistence:

crontab -l
ls -la /etc/cron*

Look for unusual scripts or scheduled commands.

🐚 Step 6: Scan for Malware

Install and run a malware scanner like Chkrootkit or ClamAV:

Chkrootkit:

apt install chkrootkit   # Debian/Ubuntu
chkrootkit

ClamAV:

apt install clamav
freshclam
clamscan -r /

These tools help detect rootkits, backdoors, and trojans.

📁 Step 7: Check for Suspicious Files

Search for recently modified or hidden files:

find / -type f -mtime -2
find / -name ".*" -type f

Look especially in /tmp, /var/tmp, or /dev/shm — common hiding places for malicious scripts.

📜 Step 8: Check System Logs

Scan through /var/log/syslog, /var/log/auth.log, and /var/log/messages for any strange activity.

Example:

less /var/log/auth.log

Use grep to search for specific keywords like root, sudo, fail, etc.

🚨 What to Do If You Suspect a Compromise

If you suspect your VPS has been compromised:

1. Disconnect from the internet (disable the network interface).

2. Back up important data (be cautious with infected files).

3. Open a support ticket with Hosteons: https://my.hosteons.com

4. Consider wiping and reinstalling the OS for full peace of mind.

5. Change all relevant passwords and SSH keys.

🧯 Prevention Tips

• Use strong passwords and SSH keys

• Keep your software and OS updated

• Disable root login and use a non-root user with sudo

• Set up a firewall like ufw

• Regularly monitor your server

Stay secure,

The Hosteons Team

How to Set Up V2RaySSR on Your VPS – A Complete Guide

Leave a Comment on How to Set Up V2RaySSR on Your VPS – A Complete Guide

If you’re looking for a powerful, secure, and flexible proxy solution, V2RaySSR might be just what you need. It’s a custom fork of V2Ray that includes support for ShadowsocksR (SSR), allowing for more advanced configurations and better censorship resistance.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to set up V2RaySSR on your Hosteons VPS step by step.

🔍 What is V2RaySSR?

V2RaySSR combines the flexibility of V2Ray with the popular ShadowsocksR protocol, offering:

• Support for multiple protocols (VMess, VLESS, SSR, SOCKS, etc.)

• Strong encryption

• Obfuscation methods like WebSocket, TLS, mKCP, and more

• Reliable bypassing of network restrictions

It’s a go-to tool for developers, privacy-conscious users, and tech enthusiasts who want full control over their internet traffic.

✅ What You’ll Need

Before getting started, make sure you have:

• A Hosteons VPS (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS preferred)

• Root SSH access

• A domain name (optional but recommended for TLS/HTTPS)

• Basic familiarity with SSH

🔧 Step 1: Connect to Your VPS

Open your terminal or SSH client and log in to your VPS:

ssh root@your_vps_ip

Replace your_vps_ip with the actual IP of your server.

📦 Step 2: Download & Run the V2RaySSR Script

Use the following command to install V2RaySSR via a trusted script:

wget -N --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FunctionClub/V2raySSRR/master/v2ray.sh && bash v2ray.sh

This script will guide you through setup options like:

• Choosing the protocol (VMess, VLESS, SSR, etc.)

• Selecting ports

• Enabling TLS (for secure encrypted connections)

• WebSocket and fallback options

Take note of the configuration it generates — you’ll need it later for your client app.

🧱 Step 3: Open Required Ports

Depending on your server’s OS and firewall settings, you might need to manually open the necessary ports.

For Ubuntu/Debian with UFW:

ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw allow 443/udp

For CentOS with firewalld:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/udp
firewall-cmd --reload

📲 Step 4: Set Up Your V2RaySSR Client

Once the server is running, install a client on your device:

• Windows: V2RayN

• Android: v2rayNG

• iOS: Shadowrocket (App Store)

Input the configuration details (UUID, address, port, path, protocol, TLS settings, etc.) provided by the script.

🚀 Step 5: Test Your Setup

After everything is configured:

• Open your V2Ray client and connect

• Visit https://ipinfo.io or https://whatismyipaddress.com to confirm your traffic is routing through the VPS

• Check logs in the client app for errors or connection status

🛡️ Pro Tips

• Use a custom domain with Let’s Encrypt TLS for added security

• Change your UUID regularly to maintain privacy

• Keep your script and configuration up to date

• Monitor usage to ensure smooth operation and avoid abuse

Start building your own secure proxy with V2RaySSR — all powered by a Hosteons VPS.
