Changing your SSH port is a simple yet powerful way to reduce brute-force login attempts and improve server security. To make this process easier, Hosteons offers a free Bash script that automatically handles the switch across all major Linux distributions — including firewalls and SELinux!
✅ Supported Operating Systems
Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04
Debian 11 and above
CentOS 7 / 8
AlmaLinux 8 / 9
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
Changing your SSH port can lock you out if anything goes wrong.
Make sure you have console access such as VNC, IPMI, or KVM before using this script.
At Hosteons, we’re constantly working to improve your hosting experience. We’re excited to announce that all new VPS orders now include a /64 IPv6 subnet by default — no justification required.
🚀 What’s New?
Previously, /64 subnets were available only upon request with justification. But with our recent implementation of routed IPv6 mode, you can now receive a /64 subnet automatically when you select it in the order form.
✅ Key Benefits
No need to request or justify a /64 subnet
Automatically provisioned during VPS setup
Ideal for containers, custom routing, and IPv6-based apps
Enhanced networking isolation and flexibility
🌐 Available with All VPS Plans
This upgrade applies to all our KVM VPS and VDS plans:
Looking to set up your own secure VPN server without spending hours reading tutorials or configuring files manually?
Hosteons now offers a free, open-source VPN One-Click Installer that helps you launch either OpenVPN or WireGuard on your VPS within minutes. Whether you’re using Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, or AlmaLinux, this script has you covered.
✅ Why Use This Script?
Supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard
Works on most major Linux distros
Secure and production-ready defaults
Fully automated — minimal input required
Outputs ready-to-use config files for clients
Ideal for privacy, remote access, and secure browsing
Based on your choice, the script installs and configures the selected VPN protocol, generates certificates or keys, configures firewall rules, and finally saves your client configuration file in:
/root/client.ovpn for OpenVPN
/root/client.conf for WireGuard
You can then download these and import into your VPN app.
This is a pilot project — we’re testing demand. If users love it, we’ll expand the offerings. If not, we may discontinue these packages. But all existing clients will continue to receive service for life as long as they keep renewing.
Looking to quickly launch a LAMP or LEMP stack on your VPS without spending 30+ minutes manually installing packages?

🔧 What This Script Does
Once executed, the script:
Prompts you to choose between LAMP and LEMP
Detects PHP version and system OS
Installs:
Apache or Nginx
MariaDB (MySQL-compatible)
PHP with popular extensions
UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall)
Sets up:
System services (auto-start on reboot)
info.php test file to validate PHP install
Basic firewall rules (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS)
✅ Supported Systems
This script works out-of-the-box on:
Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04
Debian 11 and above
Whether you’re a developer, sysadmin, student, or just want a fast web stack for testing — this script is for you.

In the world of modern software development, automation and speed are everything. Whether you’re pushing code to production daily or running complex integration tests, having a reliable infrastructure is crucial.
That’s where VDS (Virtual Dedicated Servers) from Hosteons come in. Offering the power of a dedicated server with the flexibility of virtualization, VDS is becoming the go-to choice for developers building robust CI/CD pipelines and managing Git-based workflows.
🚀 Why Choose VDS for DevOps Workflows?
Developers love VDS environments because they offer:
Full root access for maximum control
Guaranteed resources (CPU, RAM, Storage) — no noisy neighbors
Dedicated IPv4 & IPv6
High performance — ideal for parallel builds, container orchestration, and test environments
Custom OS support (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, AlmaLinux, etc.)
🔄 CI/CD Pipelines on a VDS
CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) is all about automating the development lifecycle.
A typical setup on a Hosteons VDS might include:
Git + GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket as your source repository
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or DroneCI for pipeline automation
Docker or Podman for container-based builds
Ansible or Bash scripts for post-deployment actions
You get to control your build agents, configure runners, and secure your environments without restrictions.
🧑💻 Git Workflows with Flexibility
With a VDS, developers can:
Run bare-metal Git servers using Gitea or GitLab CE
Automate hooks and deployments
Host private repositories without third-party limits
Secure deployments using SSH keys and firewalls
Combined with daily or hourly cron-based backups, this gives you full control over your versioning and rollback strategies.
🌍 Ideal Use Cases
Here’s how real developers are using VDS from Hosteons:
Hosting CI/CD runners to avoid limits on GitHub/GitLab
Running microservices that auto-deploy on every Git push
Spinning up test and staging environments dynamically
Running self-hosted monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and uptime-kuma
Automating builds for mobile apps, websites, APIs, and more
💡 Why Hosteons VDS?
At Hosteons, we provide Ryzen 7950X-powered VDS with blazing-fast NVMe storage, dedicated bandwidth, and multiple global locations — all backed by a secure and developer-friendly environment.
Whether you’re a solo developer, part of a remote team, or building a CI/CD pipeline for a startup, a VDS from Hosteons offers the performance and freedom you need.
Running a VPS gives you full control — but it also comes with responsibility. Whether you’re hosting with a budget VPS or a high-performance Ryzen VDS from Hosteons, security should always be a top priority.
Automated bots and malicious actors are constantly scanning servers looking for open doors. The good news? With just a few simple firewall rules, you can block 90% or more of common attacks — no advanced security knowledge needed.
🚧 Step 1: Deny All by Default
Your firewall should start from a “zero trust” position. Block all incoming traffic unless explicitly allowed.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
This is the safest starting point for VPS security.
If you’re using a custom SSH port, be sure to update that here.
🛡️ Step 3: Rate-Limit SSH to Stop Brute-Force Attacks
SSH is the most frequently targeted service. Add a rate-limiting rule to block repeated login attempts:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 -j DROP
This prevents bots from guessing passwords through brute force.
🧼 Step 4: Drop Invalid or Malicious Packets
Invalid packets are often used in scanning or attack attempts. Drop them:
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
This helps prevent certain types of kernel-level exploits and misbehavior.
🔁 Step 5: Allow Loopback and Established Connections
Let your server communicate with itself and continue existing sessions:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
Without these, things like internal services and return traffic might break.
👀 Step 6: (Optional) Block Ping (ICMP)
Ping isn’t harmful by itself, but attackers use it to detect live servers. You can hide yours:
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP
Note: avoid this if you use ping-based monitoring tools.
💡 Bonus: Use CSF for Easier Firewall Management
Not comfortable with command-line tools? Hosteons VPS plans fully support CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall)— a beginner-friendly, feature-rich firewall system with:
Easy interface via DirectAdmin
Built-in brute-force detection
Country-level blocking
Port scan detection
Daily logs and alerts
Perfect for users who want simplicity without sacrificing power.
🔄 Don’t Forget to Save Your Rules
After setting your rules, make sure they persist after a reboot.
On Ubuntu/Debian:
iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
On CentOS/RHEL:
Use iptables-save along with persistent packages, or configure firewalld.
🔐 VPS Security Starts with You
Whether you’re running a personal blog, game server, or production site on a VPS from Hosteons, implementing basic firewall rules should be your first line of defense.
These 6 rules are easy to set up and highly effective. For extra protection, consider:
Enabling fail2ban
Using SSH keys instead of passwords
Running regular security updates
At Hosteons, we offer high-performance, SSD-powered KVM VPS and Ryzen VDS backed by robust network security and full root access — so you’re always in control.
