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

Leave a Comment on 🚫 Why Hosteons Doesn’t Oversell Resources — And Why That Matters

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.

How to Get a /24 (256 IPs) With Your VPS at Hosteons

Leave a Comment on How to Get a /24 (256 IPs) With Your VPS at Hosteons

At Hosteons, we understand that some projects or business use cases require a large block of IP addresses — such as a /24 (256 IPs). While this is a fairly advanced setup, we do support it under specific conditions.

That said, to ensure our network stays clean and isn’t exploited for abusive activities like spamming or bulk mailing, we’ve implemented strict policies and checks around such requests.

🚫 Why We Restrict Bulk IP Allocations by Default

As per our Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP), we do not allow bulk mailing, newsletter distribution, or spam-related activities. These policies are in place to protect:

✅ The reputation of our IP space

✅ Our network infrastructure

✅ The deliverability and quality of service for all customers

However, we also recognize that there are legitimate mailers and infrastructure users who need large IP allocations — and we’re here to support you, as long as you meet our criteria.

✉️ SMTP Port is Blocked by Default — But Can Be Opened

Due to the high potential for abuse, SMTP (Port 25) is blocked by default on all our VPS plans.

But if you’re a verified, legitimate user, we will gladly open SMTP upon request — just raise a support ticket. This helps us protect our IPs from blacklisting and ensures better overall email deliverability.

📦 Terms & Conditions for Allocating a /24 IP Block

We take abuse prevention seriously. If you’re interested in getting a /24 block (256 IPs), you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

💵 Pricing

  • $2 per IP per month
  • Must be paid annually in advance

💳 Accepted Payment Methods

To avoid abuse and payment disputes (often initiated by bad actors after service suspension), we only accept the following for /24 IP orders:

  • ✅ Credit Card (with 3D Secure authentication)
  • ✅ Cryptocurrency
  • ✅ AliPay
  • ✅ Other secure payment methods❌ We do NOT accept PayPal or FastSpring for /24 IP allocations.

🔒 Responsibility & Abuse Policy

  • If we receive spam complaints or detect RBL (blacklist) listings, your SMTP access will be blocked immediately.
  • In case of multiple violations or serious abuse, your VPS may be suspended or terminated without any refund.

These terms are strict — and deliberately so — to protect our customers, our IP space, and our business from spam-related abuse.

💬 Interested? Let’s Talk

If you’re a serious customer with a legitimate need for 256 IPs, we’re happy to assist.

👉 Simply submit a ticket and our team will guide you through the approval process, pricing, and next steps.

🙏 Final Thoughts

We know the conditions might seem a bit tough, but they’re essential for maintaining a clean, reliable, and secure hosting environment.

We’re proud to support responsible and legitimate users, and we’ll go the extra mile to make sure you have the resources you need — without compromising on security or ethics.

🛡️ Let’s keep the internet clean, fast, and fair — together.

That’s why at Hosteons, we provide true 24×7 support, all year round — including weekends and holidays. No “we’ll get back to you Monday.” No long delays. Just real help, when you need it most.

🧑‍💻 What Does 24×7 Really Mean?

Plenty of hosting providers advertise 24×7 support — but what they often mean is:

  • A chatbot after hours
  • Delayed responses overnight
  • Email-only support with 24–48 hour SLAs
  • Tier 1 agents without real resolution access

At Hosteons, we take it seriously. When we say 24×7, we mean it:

  • 📩 Submit a support ticket any time, any day
  • 🔧 Get real, human responses — not bots
  • 🕒 Fast replies — even on weekends and holidays
  • 💡 Help with everything from reboots to complex technical issues

🌍 Global Infrastructure Means Global Support

Our customers span multiple time zones, from North America to Asia — and your business doesn’t stop when ours sleeps.

That’s why we’ve built a globally distributed support team to make sure someone is always there:

  • VPS issues? We’re on it.
  • Need RDNS changes at midnight? Handled.
  • Web hosting not resolving? Already being checked.

No matter when you need help, we’re ready.

🚀 Why This Matters to You

Whether you’re a solo developer or running a growing business, downtime or unresolved issues can cost:

  • 💸 Lost revenue
  • 🧠 Wasted time
  • 😤 Frustrated customers

With Hosteons 24×7 support, you don’t have to wait — or worry.

✅ For developers:

Get technical answers fast, even during late-night deployments.

✅ For businesses:

Stay confident that your infrastructure is backed by real people.

Deliver better service to your clients, knowing we’ve got your back.

There’s no “we’ll check Monday” here. Our clients get help every day, at every hour — because that’s what we’d expect, too.

Uptime Transparency Done Right — How Hosteons Shares Real-Time Server & Network Status

Leave a Comment on Uptime Transparency Done Right — How Hosteons Shares Real-Time Server & Network Status

In the world of web hosting and VPS services, uptime is everything — but transparency about that uptime is often lacking.

Many providers make vague claims like “99.9% uptime” or display the health of a single test server — but they don’t show you what’s really going on across their entire infrastructure.

At Hosteons, we believe in doing things differently. That’s why we offer real-time, public monitoring of every server in our network — not just one or two per location.

✅ Why Uptime Transparency Matters

When you’re running a business, deploying client projects, or even just managing personal applications, downtime = risk. But without clear visibility into a provider’s network, you’re left guessing:

  • Is the issue local or global?
  • Is it just me or is the entire node down?
  • How quickly does the provider respond to incidents?

Most hosting companies only show selective stats or display one server per location — which can easily mask problems or give a false sense of reliability.

🌐 Introducing Hosteons’ Public Uptime Status Page

We’ve made things simple and honest.

👉 Visit: https://status.hosteons.com

Hosted and monitored independently by HetrixTools

This page shows:

  • 💻 Every VPS node (not just one per location)
  • 🌐 Web hosting servers
  • 🧰 Backup servers
  • 📡 DNS resolvers
  • 🔌 Network-level uptime

This isn’t just a “pretty dashboard.” It’s raw, verifiable data, and it’s always public.

🔍 What’s Different About Our Approach?

FeatureHosteonsTypical Providers
Public uptime monitoring✅ Yes❌ Rarely
Monitored by 3rd party✅ HetrixTools⚠️ Often self-hosted
Per-server visibility✅ Every VPS node shown❌ One server per location
Includes backup/DNS systems✅ Yes❌ Not shown
Open to everyone✅ No login needed❌ Hidden or internal only

We don’t just say “we’re transparent” — we prove it, 24/7.

🛡️ Why This Benefits You

  • You can check uptime history before ordering a plan
  • Monitor your node’s performance independently
  • Hold us accountable (we welcome it)
  • Feel confident knowing we’re not hiding outages or degrading service

📉 What Happens During Downtime?

If a server or service experiences downtime:

  • It’s reflected immediately on our public page
  • Our team receives alerts via HetrixTools and responds proactively
  • You can monitor status in real-time — no need to wait for vague updates

🔄 Building Trust Through Visibility

We don’t just want to sell you hosting. We want to earn your trust — and that starts with honesty and accountability.

By using a third-party service (HetrixTools) and displaying per-node stats, we put transparency first — not marketing spin.

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

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

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.

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.

When to Upgrade from Shared Hosting to VPS

Leave a Comment on When to Upgrade from Shared Hosting to VPS

Starting with shared hosting is a popular choice for new websites and small-scale projects due to its affordability and simplicity. However, as your website or business grows, shared hosting may no longer meet your needs. Upgrading to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) can provide the resources, flexibility, and control required to scale successfully. Here’s a guide to help you decide when it’s time to make the switch.

1. Your Website Is Outgrowing Shared Hosting

Shared hosting means your website shares server resources like CPU, RAM, and storage with many other sites. This setup can become a bottleneck as your website grows.

Signs You’re Outgrowing Shared Hosting:

  • Frequent downtime or slow loading times.
  • Limited storage space.
  • Resource usage warnings from your hosting provider.

Why Upgrade to VPS: A VPS gives you dedicated resources, ensuring consistent performance regardless of traffic spikes.

2. Your Traffic Is Increasing

Shared hosting is ideal for low-traffic websites, but as your audience grows, the limited bandwidth and processing power can hinder user experience.

When to Upgrade:

  • You’re experiencing traffic spikes that slow down your site.
  • Your monthly traffic exceeds what your shared hosting plan supports.

Why Upgrade to VPS: VPS hosting scales with your traffic, ensuring your site remains fast and responsive during peak times.

3. You Need Better Performance

As websites become more complex with dynamic content, multimedia, and e-commerce functionality, performance requirements increase.

When Performance Becomes an Issue:

  • Pages load slowly, especially during high traffic.
  • Visitors complain about poor user experience.

Why Upgrade to VPS: VPS hosting provides more CPU and RAM, which directly enhances loading times and overall performance.

4. You Need Greater Control Over Your Server

Shared hosting limits your ability to customize server settings or install specific software. This can be restrictive for businesses with unique requirements.

When Control Matters:

  • You need to install custom applications or software.
  • You require advanced configurations, such as custom security measures or caching mechanisms.

Why Upgrade to VPS: With root access in a VPS environment, you have complete control over your server, enabling customization to meet your needs.

5. Your Website Requires Enhanced Security

Shared hosting means sharing a server with other websites, which can increase the risk of vulnerabilities. If security is a priority, you may need a more isolated environment.

When Security Becomes Critical:

  • You’re handling sensitive customer data, such as for an e-commerce site.
  • Your site has been targeted by malicious attacks.

Why Upgrade to VPS: VPS hosting provides a more secure, isolated environment, reducing risks associated with shared resources.

6. You’re Launching Resource-Intensive Projects

Certain projects demand more server power than shared hosting can provide, such as:

  • Hosting large databases.
  • Running applications that require high CPU or RAM usage.
  • Managing multiple websites from a single server.

Why Upgrade to VPS: With a VPS, you have the resources and flexibility to handle demanding projects.

7. You Need to Scale Your Business

Shared hosting can become a barrier to growth as your website demands increase.

When Scalability Is Key:

  • Your website’s growth is limited by shared hosting’s resource caps.
  • You need a hosting plan that can expand as your business grows.

Why Upgrade to VPS: VPS hosting offers scalability, allowing you to increase resources without migrating to a new hosting provider.

8. You’re Ready for a Cost-Effective Upgrade

While VPS hosting costs more than shared hosting, the benefits often outweigh the additional expense. For businesses seeking better performance, control, and reliability, the investment is worth it.

Why Upgrade to VPS: VPS hosting provides excellent value by combining performance, scalability, and control at a reasonable cost.

Conclusion: Make the Move to VPS Hosting

If your website or business is experiencing any of the challenges listed above, it’s time to consider upgrading to VPS hosting. A VPS ensures your website has the resources, control, and security to perform at its best, even as demands grow.

At Hosteons, we offer a range of VPS hosting plans powered by high-performance Ryzen processors and designed for scalability. Our transparent pricing, free backups, and 24/7 support ensure a seamless transition. Contact us today to find the perfect VPS hosting solution for your needs!

How to Optimize Your Website for Better Performance on VPS Hosting

Leave a Comment on How to Optimize Your Website for Better Performance on VPS Hosting

Having a website that loads quickly and performs smoothly is critical for user experience, search engine rankings, and conversions. When hosting your website on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), you have the flexibility and power to optimize your environment for peak performance. This guide outlines actionable steps you can take to ensure your site runs efficiently and effectively.

1. Choose the Right VPS Plan

Before you start optimizing, ensure you have the right VPS plan that meets your website’s requirements:

  • CPU and RAM: Choose adequate processing power and memory based on your site’s needs.
  • Storage Type: NVMe SSDs provide faster read/write speeds than standard HDDs, enhancing site performance.
  • Scalability: Select a plan that allows you to scale resources as your website grows.

2. Optimize Your Web Server Configuration

Your web server’s configuration has a significant impact on site performance. Common web servers include Apache, Nginx, and LiteSpeed. Here are some key tips:

  • Use a Lightweight Server: Consider switching to Nginx or LiteSpeed if you’re using Apache, as they often handle concurrent connections more efficiently.
  • Enable Compression: Gzip compression reduces the size of files sent to visitors, resulting in faster page loads. This can be enabled in your web server’s configuration.
  • Adjust KeepAlive Settings: Enabling KeepAlive reduces the overhead of creating multiple connections to your server, speeding up content delivery.

3. Utilize a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN stores copies of your website’s content across multiple servers worldwide, serving data from the closest server to the user. This reduces latency and speeds up loading times for visitors from various regions.

  • Popular CDN Providers: Cloudflare, Akamai, and StackPath.
  • Benefits: Faster page load times, reduced server load, and better protection from DDoS attacks.

4. Leverage Caching Mechanisms

Caching stores copies of your website’s files to reduce the time required to retrieve data.

  • Server-Side Caching: Implement caching tools such as Varnish Cache for faster delivery of content.
  • Application-Level Caching: CMS platforms like WordPress offer plugins such as WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache.
  • Browser Caching: Configure caching headers to store static content like images and CSS files locally on users’ browsers.

5. Optimize Your Database

If your website relies on a database (e.g., MySQL), it’s essential to keep it optimized:

  • Regularly Clean Up Data: Remove unnecessary data such as post revisions, spam comments, and transient options.
  • Optimize Queries: Analyze slow queries using tools like MySQLTuner and optimize them for better performance.
  • Index Tables: Ensure appropriate indexing of database tables for faster query execution.

6. Use PHP Optimization Techniques

For sites using PHP-based CMS (e.g., WordPress, Joomla), PHP optimization is vital:

  • Upgrade PHP Version: Use the latest stable version of PHP for better speed and security.
  • Enable OPcache: Caching compiled PHP code can significantly reduce load times.

7. Implement Image Optimization

Large image files can drastically slow down a website. Optimize your images using these techniques:

  • Compression: Use tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress images without losing quality.
  • Responsive Images: Serve appropriately sized images for different screen sizes.
  • Next-Gen Formats: Consider using modern image formats like WebP for better compression.

8. Minimize CSS, JavaScript, and HTML

Reducing the size of code files speeds up website rendering:

  • Minification: Use tools or plugins to remove unnecessary characters, spaces, and comments from code files.
  • Combine Files: Consolidate multiple CSS or JavaScript files into a single file to reduce HTTP requests.
  • Asynchronous Loading: Load JavaScript asynchronously or defer loading to ensure faster page rendering.

9. Enable HTTP/2

HTTP/2 improves performance by allowing multiple requests to be sent at the same time over a single connection. Most modern servers and browsers support HTTP/2. If you’re using an SSL certificate (recommended for security), you can enable this feature through your web server.

10. Monitor and Optimize Server Resource Usage

  • Use a Monitoring Tool: Tools like Netdata and Munin provide real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and disk usage, helping you identify resource bottlenecks.
  • Limit Resource-Intensive Processes: Identify and limit scripts or processes consuming too many resources.
  • Restart Services Periodically: Restarting services like Apache or Nginx regularly can help free up memory and improve performance.

11. Utilize a Robust Firewall and Security Measures
