Choosing the right VPS for your needs often comes down to one key decision: Ryzen or Intel? At Hosteons, we offer both — and each has its strengths depending on your use case.

In this post, we’ll break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your project.

🧠 The CPU Showdown: Ryzen vs Intel

Ryzen VPS (AMD Ryzen 9 7950X):

Based on the latest Zen 4 architecture
Up to 5.7 GHz turbo boost
16 cores / 32 threads
Higher multi-threaded performance
Ideal for parallel processing and heavy multitasking
Superior price-to-performance ratio

Intel VPS (Intel Xeon / Intel Core Series):

Rock-solid stability, enterprise-grade
Slightly better single-threaded performance in legacy workloads
Widely supported by older software stacks
Excellent for lighter or traditional web hosting workloads

💻 Which One Should You Choose?

✔ Choose Ryzen VPS

if you:

Run containerized or virtualization-heavy environments
Need high CPU clock speeds for game servers or CI/CD pipelines
Handle simultaneous processes like video encoding, analytics, or parallel scripts
Want better performance at the same or lower price point

✔ Choose Intel VPS

if you:

Host traditional LAMP/LEMP stack websites
Need compatibility with legacy enterprise apps
Prefer tried-and-tested platforms for general-purpose hosting

🌐 Location Options That Match Your Needs

🏁 Final Verdict

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. If your workload is demanding and multithreaded, Ryzen is the clear winner. If you’re hosting stable websites or want long-term compatibility, Intel remains a solid choice.

Why You Should Use SSH Keys Instead of Passwords on Your VPS

hosteons June 7, 2025 Leave a Comment

When managing your VPS or Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS), security should always come first. While many users rely on traditional passwords for remote access, SSH keys offer a far more secure and convenient alternative.

At Hosteons, we strongly recommend using SSH key authentication to secure your VPS access — and here’s why.

🔐 What Are SSH Keys?

SSH (Secure Shell) keys are a pair of cryptographic keys used to authenticate with a remote server:

Public Key: Stored on your VPS (e.g., in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)
Private Key: Stored securely on your local device (e.g., ~/.ssh/id_rsa)

When you try to connect, your device proves ownership of the private key — no need to transmit a password.

🚫 The Problem with Passwords

Easily guessed or brute-forced
Often reused across multiple accounts
Susceptible to phishing or keylogging
Require manual entry each time

If your password is weak or exposed, your server is vulnerable.

✅ Benefits of Using SSH Keys

1. Stronger Security

SSH keys are typically 2048-bit or 4096-bit, which are practically uncrackable by brute force.

2. No Password Transmission

No password is sent over the network, making it immune to interception.

3. Convenience

You can set up password-less login using your key, often combined with an SSH agent or passphrase.

4. Script-Friendly

Automated deployments and Git-based workflows rely on SSH keys for secure, non-interactive authentication.

5. Block Brute-Force Attacks

Once password authentication is disabled, bots and attackers can no longer guess credentials.

🛠️ How to Set Up SSH Key Authentication

Generate a Key Pair (on your local machine):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

Upload the Public Key to Your VPS:

ssh-copy-id user@your-vps-ip

Or manually place the public key into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
Disable Password Authentication:Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your VPS:

PasswordAuthentication no

Then restart the SSH service:

systemctl restart sshd

🔒 Combine with Fail2Ban and Firewall

For maximum protection:

Use Fail2Ban to block repeated failed login attempts
Limit access to port 22 using UFW or CSF firewall
Change the default SSH port (optional)

🧠 Summary

Using SSH keys instead of passwords is one of the simplest yet most powerful steps you can take to secure your VPS or VDS.

At Hosteons, all our KVM VPS, Ryzen VPS, and Ryzen 7950X VDS plans support full SSH key authentication out of the box.

Take 2 minutes to set it up — and save yourself from countless security headaches.

Now Get a /64 IPv6 Subnet by Default with All VPS Orders at Hosteons

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:

🔁 Already Using a VPS?

If you’re an existing VPS user and would like to enable routed /64 IPv6, just open a support ticket — we’ll help you switch over quickly.

We’re making IPv6 adoption seamless and automatic, so you can focus on deploying your applications — not configuring your network.

Thank you for choosing Hosteons.
