🌐 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,

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.

Exciting Server Upgrade: Enhanced Performance for All Hosting Accounts

Leave a Comment on 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.

The Importance of Data Center Locations in VPS Hosting

Leave a Comment on The Importance of Data Center Locations in VPS Hosting

In the world of VPS hosting, the location of data centers plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance, reliability, and user experience. At Hosteons, we understand how critical this factor is, which is why we offer VPS hosting services across multiple strategically chosen data center locations including Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Dallas, Miami, Salt Lake City, Frankfurt, and Paris.

1. Enhanced Performance and Low Latency

The closer your server is to your target audience, the lower the latency they will experience. Latency refers to the delay in data transmission between the server and the end user. For businesses and developers, even a few milliseconds can make a significant difference in the user experience. By offering VPS hosting across diverse geographical locations, Hosteons ensures that our clients can provide faster website loading times and seamless application performance to their end users.

2. Better Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search engines, like Google, prioritize websites that load quickly and are hosted near their target audience. When your server is located in close proximity to your audience, your website’s loading speed improves, which can positively impact your SEO rankings. This means a higher chance of your website appearing in search results, leading to more traffic and better engagement.

3. Compliance with Regional Data Regulations

Different countries and regions have specific data privacy and hosting laws. For instance, GDPR compliance in Europe requires businesses to adhere to strict data storage and processing rules. By hosting in locations such as Frankfurt or Paris, Hosteons enables businesses to comply with these regional regulations effortlessly, avoiding potential legal issues.

4. Global Reach for Businesses

Whether you’re a growing startup or an established enterprise, having a global hosting footprint allows you to expand your reach. Hosteons’ data centers in key locations enable businesses to target multiple markets effectively. This is particularly advantageous for e-commerce websites and SaaS applications that cater to international users.

5. Redundancy and Reliability

Data center locations also play a role in disaster recovery and reliability. By spreading your VPS hosting across multiple geographic locations, you can minimize the risk of downtime caused by localized outages. Hosteons’ diverse data center presence ensures high availability and a reliable hosting experience for your mission-critical applications.

6. Tailored Solutions for Different Needs

Each data center location offers unique advantages. For instance:

  • Los Angeles: Ideal for targeting users in the Asia-Pacific region due to its proximity and connectivity.
  • New York and Miami: Perfect for businesses focusing on North American and Latin American markets.
  • Frankfurt and Paris: Optimal for European users with compliance and latency benefits.

By providing hosting solutions in these diverse locations, Hosteons empowers clients to choose the best data center for their specific needs.

7. Cost Efficiency

Choosing the right data center location can also help reduce costs. For instance, hosting closer to your primary user base can reduce the need for expensive content delivery networks (CDNs) or other performance optimization tools. At Hosteons, we strive to offer cost-effective VPS hosting solutions without compromising on quality.

Why Choose Hosteons for VPS Hosting?

At Hosteons, we go beyond just offering VPS hosting—we provide a hosting experience tailored to your business goals. Our state-of-the-art data centers are equipped with high-performance hardware, robust security measures, and redundant network connectivity to ensure maximum uptime and performance.

With Hosteons, you also get:

  • Free backups and snapshots for added peace of mind.
  • A variety of hosting options, including budget KVM VPS and premium Ryzen VPS servers.
  • Exceptional 24×7 customer support to assist you every step of the way.

Conclusion

The importance of data center locations in VPS hosting cannot be overstated. They impact everything from performance and SEO to compliance and cost-efficiency. With Hosteons’ extensive network of global data centers, you can rest assured that your hosting needs are in capable hands. Whether you’re targeting a local audience or expanding your reach globally, Hosteons has the right solution for you.
