💱 Why HostEONS Switched from Cryptomus to Oxapay for Crypto Payments

A Decision Driven by Privacy, Transparency, and Better Service

At HostEONS, we’ve always supported cryptocurrency as a flexible, borderless, and privacy-respecting way to pay for hosting. Over the years, we’ve tested and integrated several crypto processors to serve customers across the globe. But recently, we made a critical decision:

We’ve officially discontinued support for Cryptomus and switched to Oxapay for all crypto payment processing.

Here’s the story — and why we’re glad we made the move.


🔍 What Went Wrong with Cryptomus?

While Cryptomus initially worked fine, things changed without notice. Out of the blue, they introduced mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.

As a business, we understand the need for compliance — and we’ve already verified our company details with:

  • Our credit card processors
  • Alipay CN / UnionPay
  • FastSpring (our international payment partner)
  • Government tax authorities in multiple countries

So, when Cryptomus requested KYC, we promptly submitted the same set of legal and verified documents we use across other platforms.

🚫 But Then… Rejected Without Reason

Despite submitting valid documentation, Cryptomus rejected our application without any meaningful explanation. No specific issues, no request for additional info — just a vague, blanket statement that “we don’t need your business.”

This isn’t just bad customer service — it’s risky. Any payment provider that makes unilateral decisions like this, without clarity or accountability, can cause serious disruption for both us and our clients.


✅ Why We Switched to Oxapay — And Why It Was the Right Call

Thankfully, we acted fast — and we’re very glad we did.

After evaluating options, we moved to Oxapay, a reliable and developer-friendly crypto processor that offers:

🔒 Privacy-Respecting, No Unnecessary KYC

  • No arbitrary rejections
  • Business-friendly onboarding
  • Focused on crypto-first principles

⚙️ Smooth Integration

  • Easy API and fast setup
  • Compatible with our invoicing and checkout flows
  • Accepts a wide range of coins and stablecoins

⚡ Better Reliability

  • Faster payment confirmations
  • Consistent uptime and status updates
  • Responsive support team

💬 Lessons Learned

This experience with Cryptomus reinforces something we’ve always believed:

✅ Privacy and consistency matter.

✅ Transparent processes beat unclear policies.

✅ A provider should respect your business — not treat it as disposable.

At HostEONS, we go out of our way to maintain redundancy, flexibility, and resilience in every part of our infrastructure — and that includes payments.


💸 Want to Pay with Crypto?

You can continue to pay for any of our services using crypto via Oxapay, including:

  • 💻 VPS & VDS Hosting
  • 🌐 Shared & Reseller Hosting
  • 🛡️ DDoS-Protected Servers
  • 🖥️ Custom configurations and renewals

We accept:

  • BTC, USDT, ETH, DOGE, LTC, TRX
  • And other major cryptocurrencies & tokens

🧠 Final Thoughts

While our experience with Cryptomus wasn’t ideal, it led us to a better provider — and improved service for our customers.

So in the end, it was a win.

We thank our crypto-paying customers for their support, and we’re committed to always offering fast, fair, and private payment options that align with the open internet we believe in.

🔐 Why We Switched to Plausible Analytics and hCaptcha

A Faster, More Private Web Experience — Without Compromise

At HostEONS, we’re constantly working to make our website and services faster, more secure, and more privacy-respecting — for both our clients and visitors. That’s why we’ve recently made two major changes:

  • ✅ Switched from Google Analytics to Self-Hosted Plausible Analytics
  • ✅ Replaced Google reCAPTCHA with hCaptcha

Here’s why we made the switch — and what it means for you.


📊 From Google Analytics to Self-Hosted Plausible

❌ Why We Left Google Analytics Behind:

  • Heavy scripts that slow down page load times
  • Tracking cookies and IP logging
  • Not privacy-friendly for users (or compliant with global privacy trends)
  • Blocked by ad blockers and privacy tools
  • Sends data to Google — something many privacy-conscious users dislike

✅ Why We Chose Self-Hosted Plausible:

  • Lightweight & fast — the tracking script is ~1 KB
  • No cookies or personal data collected
  • We host it ourselves — full control, no external data transfer
  • Fully open-source and transparent
  • Minimal, useful stats (no bloated dashboards or invasive insights)

💡 By self-hosting Plausible, we maintain complete control over analytics data, while ensuring you’re not tracked or fingerprinted when visiting our site.


🤖 From reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha

❌ Why We Moved Away from Google reCAPTCHA:

  • Slower to load
  • Annoying CAPTCHA challenges (find the traffic light, anyone?)
  • Tracks users via cookies and behavior analysis
  • Relies on Google’s infrastructure and ecosystem
  • Sometimes blocked in certain regions (e.g., China)

✅ Why hCaptcha Is Better:

  • Privacy-focused bot protection
  • Does not track users or store data unnecessarily
  • More region-friendly — works in places where Google is restricted
  • Drop-in compatible with reCAPTCHA — so the transition was seamless
  • Earns micro-rewards for solving CAPTCHAs (helpful for open web projects)

🚀 hCaptcha allows us to stop bots and abuse without tracking our visitors or relying on big-tech gatekeepers.


🧭 Reflecting Our Core Values

These changes aren’t just technical decisions. They align with what we stand for:

  • Speed and efficiency
  • Privacy by default
  • Self-reliance and open standards
  • Respect for user trust

Whether you’re visiting our homepage, reading the blog, or logging into the client area, you’ll now enjoy a cleaner, faster, more ethical experience.


✅ Summary

Tool ReplacedNew ToolWhy It’s Better
Google AnalyticsSelf-hosted PlausibleLightweight, privacy-first, self-owned
Google reCAPTCHAhCaptchaFaster, cookie-free, works globally

We believe hosting providers should care about more than just servers. Every element of our infrastructure — even the frontend — should reflect the same values of transparency, reliability, and respect for our users.

Exciting Server Upgrade: Enhanced Performance for All Hosting Accounts

We’ve Got Exciting News!

At Hosteons, we’re always striving to provide our clients with the best possible hosting experience. To that end, we’ve recently completed a major server upgrade and migration to a brand-new, high-performance infrastructure. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting change!

What’s New?

Our upgraded server is designed to deliver faster, more reliable performance. The key highlights of this upgrade include:

  • Cutting-Edge Hardware: We’ve transitioned to a Ryzen 7950x-based CPU paired with NVMe drives, which offer significantly better speed and reliability compared to the previous Intel E5 Xeon-based server.
  • Improved Speed: Expect noticeably faster load times for your websites.
  • Enhanced Uptime: The new hardware ensures greater stability and uptime for all hosting accounts.

This migration also ensures continuity by remaining within the same network and datacenter.

Important Details for Clients

We’ve made this transition as seamless as possible for you. Here are a few key points:

Server Name Changes

  • Old Server Name: da2.hosteons.com
  • New Server Name: da1.hosteons.com

DNS Updates

Clients using our default nameservers (ns1.da1.hosteons.com and ns2.da1.hosteons.com) don’t need to take any action—your websites are already live on the new server. However, if you’re using Cloudflare, custom nameservers, or third-party nameservers, please update your DNS records to reflect the changes. Detailed instructions have been sent via email.

Temporary Access to the Old Server

To ensure a smooth transition, the old server will remain accessible for the next 7 days. This gives you time to retrieve any data or verify that everything has been successfully migrated. Please refer to your email for the necessary access details.

What’s Next?

We recommend the following steps:

  1. Verify that your website and data are functioning properly on the new server.
  2. Update your DNS records promptly to avoid any service disruptions.
  3. Check the old server for any data you might need before it is decommissioned.

If you have any questions or need help, our support team is ready to assist you. Simply reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to guide you through the process.

Thank You for Choosing Hosteons!
We’re thrilled to bring you this upgraded hosting experience and are confident you’ll notice the difference. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as we continue to improve our services.

One more Datacentre Location Being Added in Salt Lake City

As posted in our previous POST, that how and we had to do emergency migration of all our VPS Nodes and Shared Web Hosting, but now once all the data has been migrated, we even need to utilise our Colocated Servers that were there with Dedipath, today we were provided access and were able to pickup our Servers from their Los Angeles, location, though other location is still pending, but to utilise these servers, we have taken a full 42U RACK in Salt Lake City, this is different from our current Salt Lake City Datacentre, this location also has very good network, along with DDOS Protection provided by PATH. This new location has very good network globally including China and Asia.

These servers just landed at the new facility in Salt Lake City, we plan to use these servers for our regular Ryzen VPS nodes as well to offer Virtual Dedicated Server, i.e. with Dedicated CPU Cores and all resource, with these package you will be able to max out your CPU without any restricitons

We will post an update about once its ready for production, hopefully in next 3-4 days

9288 VPS Safely Migrated, how did we dodge the DEATH BALL ? How a Hunch Saved the Business and Data of Thousands of Clients

Below is a snippet of our sudden announcement of migrating all our servers to a different datacentre:

We made this announcement on 6th of August, though we started planning for it in July itself, but it was just a hunch hence we could not make it public as we have yet to find a reliable provider, arrange for 11000+ IP, arrange for close 100 Servers, find locations that are suitable for our clients etc…

But what made us take this decision as we have been using DEDIPATH services for over 5 years without any trouble ?

There were few warning signs:

  1. Their CTO Left the company
  2. Support tickets were delayed a lot
  3. Nobody from management was approachable
  4. Then I think in July end two of their facilities went offline for over 3 hours – NJ and LA, this was the biggest warning sign, but then after asking repeatedly they finally sent RFO
  5. This RFO was the final NAIL in the COFFIN and forced us to take this decision of migrating out of Dedipath. This RFO said the reason behind the outage was routing issue, but how can two different locations have routing issue at the same time ? I tried to inquire a lot about it to know the actual reason, but everybody at DP was behind NDA hence could not utter a word, but this made us decide to finally migrate out.

This sudden Emergency Migration was not appreciated by all clients, but we even could not tell the clients that we are doing it on the basis of a hunch that things are not alright at DP hence we had to migrate out, but most of the clients did not complained but still I know it’s a lot of trouble for clients to change their IP in the web server, mail server, DNS Servers, proxy, vpn or for whatever services they were using their VPS.

We appreciate patience shown by all clients during this migration, but whatever we did was in the best interest of our clients, their data and also for survival of Hosteons.

Usually providers physically move servers to another Datacentre as it saves a lot of costs, though it causes downtime but still it’s the most economical way to do migration especially if you own the servers/hardware, but in our case even this was not possible and also we did not wanted to cause hours of downtime and sometimes servers do break during transport that could again cause more problems and data loss.

If we move the servers physically it has many risks:

  1. Server Damage During Transportation
  2. Hours of Downtime as it’s takes lots of time if you have to UNRACK 100 servers, then transport them, then again bring them online in the new datacentre with new IP, new network configuration
  3. Not only this how do we change IP of 9000 VPS all at once ? It could take days before we do this, so this just means downtime of days or even weeks
  4. Moreover there were rumours in Forums that Remote Hands is at HOLD in DP, as the Datacentre “EVOCATIVE” is not doing it, I won’t get in details what exactly is the problem, so we could not expect that we will be actually provided access to our servers

So this option was OFF the TABLE

So how exactly did we migrate 9288 VPS Safely ?

We decided that we will first get the following:

  1. Our own ASN – If we use ASN of our Datacentre it causes lots of problems like if the Datacentre has abusive users it even affects our IP Reputation. So we got our own ASN before migration – AS142036
  2. Our own IP – We have some of our own IP Blocks from APNIC, we used them along with, we directly did contract with IP Vendors and got IP on long term contract, so that we don’t need to change IP every now and then as we had to do when IP are provided by Datacentre, because if Datacentre wants they change or pull back their IP blocks anytime they want, so this time we got IP Directly from IP Vendors and used our own IP
  3. We got new servers, but new server hardware delivery takes time it is not instant, so this took almost 10 days and even in these 10 days we did not got all the servers, even some servers failed hardware diagnostics, we had to get them replaced, rack etc… it was a period of sleepless nights that just finished today earlier with our FINAL Server migration without any DATA LOSS to any client.
  4. It was not easy to apply and get ASN, get new IP, arrange for new servers that too in locations that are similar to what we currently have and above all, all these things require a lot of CASH.
  5. But we have a solid business plan and we keep our business profitable unlike many low end providers who just keep discounting their prices to get sales and ultimately end up shutting down, but due to our SOLID BUSINESS PLAN and over 2 decades of experience in HOSTING INDUSTRY, we were able to pull through this tough phase.

But AGAIN YOU MUST BE THINKING WAS THIS EVEN WORTH IT ?

YES ABSOLUTELY, JUST READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT BY DEDIPATH:

This is just a partial announcement but they did shutdown with less then 24 hours notice, and if we had not migrated out in time, then we would have lost data of almost all clients by now as it was not possible to arrange for 100 Servers in such a short period and also migrate data of 9000+ VPS within 24 hours, as I know it take us over 20 days to migrate out data of 9000 VPS

The best part is our clients had close to ZERO DOWNTIME, the reason being we did a live migration of VPS, just the IP was changed, so it all depends how quickly they start using the new IP

So this is how we DODGED the DEATH BALL just on the basis of a hunch and over 2 decades of experience in HOSTING INDUSTRY
