🚫 Why Hosteons Doesn’t Oversell Resources — And Why That Matters

hosteons May 7, 2025 Leave a Comment

In the hosting world, the term overselling is everywhere. Many VPS and shared hosting providers stack more clients on a server than it can truly handle, betting that most users won’t utilize 100% of their allocated resources at the same time.

At HostEONS, we take a different approach — we never oversell critical resources like CPU and RAM. Here’s why that matters for your VPS performance, stability, and peace of mind.

❓ What Is Overselling?

Overselling happens when a hosting provider allocates more virtual resources (CPU, RAM, etc.) than physically exist on a server, assuming not everyone will use them fully at once.

Example:

A server with 64 GB RAM sells 100 GB worth of VPS plans.
If every VPS tries to use its full RAM, the server becomes overloaded, leading to crashes, slowdowns, and frustrated users.

🚀 Why HostEONS Doesn’t Oversell

We believe in transparent, reliable hosting. Here’s what we do instead:

✅ Strict Resource Allocation: Each VPS is assigned real, guaranteed CPU(VDS), RAM, and disk space — no tricks.
✅ Consistent Performance: Whether it’s peak hours or low traffic, your VPS performs as expected.
✅ Better Stability: No noisy neighbors saturating shared resources and causing downtime.
✅ Long-Term Trust: We build customer loyalty through reliability, not short-term gains.

🛡️ Why This Matters to You

For Developers: Predictable environments = smooth deployments.
For Businesses: Reliable websites and apps = better user trust & revenue.
For Agencies & Resellers: Confidently host your clients knowing your backend is solid.

When hosting providers oversell, you pay the price in lost performance and downtime. We think that’s unacceptable.

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

hosteons April 9, 2025 April 9, 2025 Leave a Comment

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?

Check out our plans at https://hosteons.com

🧠 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.

Windows vs. Linux VPS: Which One is Right for You?

hosteons December 22, 2024 December 22, 2024 Leave a Comment

When it comes to choosing a Virtual Private Server (VPS), one of the most crucial decisions you’ll make is whether to go with a Windows or Linux operating system, hosteons.com provides option to change your VPS OS between Linux and Windows on all supported packages. Each has its own unique strengths and potential drawbacks, making them better suited to different types of users and applications. In this article, we will explore the differences between Windows and Linux VPS to help you decide which one is right for you.

Operating System Overview

Windows VPS

Windows VPS runs on the Windows Server operating system, which is developed and maintained by Microsoft. It offers a user-friendly interface and is particularly popular among users who are already familiar with Windows desktop environments.

Linux VPS

Linux VPS operates on various distributions (or distros) of the open-source Linux operating system, such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, and AlmaLinux. It is highly customizable and widely used by developers and tech-savvy users due to its flexibility and robust performance.

Key Differences

1. User Interface

Windows: Known for its Graphical User Interface (GUI), Windows is easier for beginners who prefer point-and-click navigation. The familiar interface can reduce the learning curve for users who are not accustomed to command-line interfaces.
Linux: Primarily relies on a Command-Line Interface (CLI), though some distributions offer GUIs. CLI can be intimidating for beginners but offers greater control and efficiency for experienced users.

2. Software Compatibility

Windows: Compatible with a wide range of commercial software, including proprietary applications like Microsoft SQL Server, .NET applications, and other Microsoft-specific tools.
Linux: Supports open-source software and is ideal for running web servers, programming environments, and applications built with languages like PHP, Python, and Ruby. Linux is often preferred for development and hosting of web applications.

3. Performance

Windows: May require more system resources (CPU, RAM) due to the overhead of the GUI and background processes. However, it is optimized for running specific Microsoft applications.
Linux: Typically lighter on system resources, leading to potentially better performance, especially for web hosting and server tasks. The lack of a mandatory GUI reduces resource consumption.

4. Security

Windows: Generally considered more vulnerable to malware and cyberattacks. Requires regular updates and security patches to maintain security. Microsoft provides robust security features but requires careful management.
Linux: Known for its strong security architecture. The open-source nature allows for quick identification and patching of vulnerabilities. Less frequently targeted by malware compared to Windows.

5. Cost

Windows: Requires licensing fees for the operating system and some applications. This can increase the overall cost of ownership.
Linux: Open-source and free to use, which can significantly reduce costs. Most distributions and software packages do not require licensing fees.

6. Customization and Control

Windows: Offers a range of configuration options but may be limited compared to Linux in terms of deep customization.
Linux: Highly customizable at both the user and system levels. Advanced users can tweak almost every aspect of the operating system to meet their specific needs.

Which One is Right for You?

Choose Windows VPS if:

You need to run Microsoft-specific applications or software that is only compatible with Windows.
You prefer a user-friendly GUI and are already familiar with Windows environments.
You require a powerful platform for running enterprise-level applications and databases like MSSQL.

Choose Linux VPS if:

You are comfortable using the command-line interface or want to learn.
You are looking to run web servers, develop applications, or host websites efficiently.
You prefer a cost-effective solution with robust security and performance.

In conclusion, the choice between Windows and Linux VPS largely depends on your specific needs and level of expertise. Assess your requirements, software compatibility, budget, and comfort level with each operating system to make an informed decision. Whether you go with Windows or Linux, a well-maintained VPS can provide the power and flexibility you need for your online endeavors.
