In this article, we will outline the many benefits of applying Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), and how to do so affordably with a flexible billing model.

Disaster recovery is a fundamental part of any business continuity strategy that shouldn’t be overlooked. Oftentimes, organizations fail to recognize the importance of implementing a disaster recovery plan, with many not grasping its value until an unfortunate event takes place.

Being able to quickly and efficiently resume business operations in the aftermath of any disaster should be a top priority for businesses of all sizes. However, many businesses consider budgeting for an effective disaster recovery plan a trivial expense. In this article, we will outline the many benefits of applying Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), and how to do so affordably with a flexible billing model.

What is Disaster Recovery as a Service

The objective of any disaster recovery plan is for businesses to quickly resume operations in the event of an unforeseen disaster whilst preventing any damaging data loss. Some disasters are unavoidable, whether it be natural or manmade, so having a comprehensive plan in place to recover system functionality is crucial for business resilience.

Although the objective of Disaster Recovery (DR) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is the same, they are two different solutions. A typical Disaster Recovery solution includes maintaining an off-premise server in another location than that of the central operating facilities, and entails numerous components, from initial infrastructure and networking setups to ongoing power and labor upkeep – all of which come at a significant cost.

With that being said, many organizations are opting for DRaaS due to its many benefits including affordability, efficiency and ease-of-use. DRaaS, in essence, is a cloud-based solution in which service providers replicate a business’s systems and data, and provide failover in the event of a disaster, via an attractive subscription model.

The stark price difference is one of the main reasons why DRaaS is becoming the preferred disaster recovery strategy, but cost isn’t the only reason why the as-a-service model is more beneficial.

Benefits of DRaaS

Efficiency

Disaster Recovery as a Service is quick to set up, in contrast to traditional DR solutions which are both money and time consuming. In fact, NetShop ISP’s innovative DRaaS can be implemented within just 2 business days, and provides customers access to core services including Cloud Backup, Application and Servers Recovery and Malware Scanning for all devices.

Affordable

DRaaS provides a cost-effective alternative to what would be a substantial cost, by providing a comprehensive solution through an attractive subscription model. With NetShop ISP, customers forgo any long-term binding contracts and are given the option to choose a billing model that best suits their needs, either per device or per GB – both of which are available on monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual billing cycles.

Effectiveness

Apart from relieving the burden and costs of setting up and maintaining on-premise DR, DRaaS actually proves a lot more effective. By utilizing cloud technology, recovery time objectives (RTO) can be significantly reduced. With NetShop ISP’s cloud-based solution, we can guarantee up to 5 minutes RTO.

Expertise

When it comes to the protection of your most valuable data, the guidance and expertise of specialists is crucial. Our DRaaS can be designed to any organization’s bespoke needs, and in a way that, upon initial setup, can be easily managed by users with minimal technical knowledge.

Affordable Disaster Recovery as a Service with NetShop ISP

When it comes to trading Forex, one thing is for sure – super fast speeds are a prerequisite to success. In this article we’ll break down the benefits of VPS for Forex traders, and how it can help you trade not only faster – but smarter.

When it comes to trading Forex, one thing is for sure – super-fast speeds are a prerequisite to success. In order to thrive in the fast paced Forex industry, low latency and fast execution speeds are essential – so you need to have the optimal resources to achieve this. That’s where Virtual Servers come into play.

In this article we’ll break down the benefits of VPS for Forex traders, and how it can help you trade not only faster – but smarter.

What is a VPS

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is basically one physical server that functions as multiple independent servers by utilizing virtualization technology. Opting for a VPS means you don’t have to worry about sharing your resources or being affected by others on the same physical server.

VPS hosting has grown in popularity amongst many industries for a number of reasons, like heightened security, enhanced performance and greater reliability. These factors are what make a VPS so beneficial for Forex traders.

Benefits of a Forex VPS

Always online

Keeping your trading platforms, like MT4 or MT5, online around-the-clock is important, especially when you’re using an Expert Advisor (EA) too. A VPS provides the optimal environment that’s required for automated trading, because it stays online, even when you’re not.

In order to successfully incorporate automation within your trading strategy, certain resources are required to facilitate your trading software and EA 24/7. Unlike a personal computer, a VPS remains online under all circumstances, like power outages or connectivity issues – providing ultimate reliability.

Low latency

With time quite literally being money for traders, there’s no doubt that the biggest benefit of a Forex VPS is its ability to reduce latency, and therefore prevent slippage. Delays in execution can see traders lose out heavily on profits, which can be combated by utilizing a VPS with the capacity to transmit requests at super-fast speeds.

Cost-effective  

Investing in a VPS can help you greatly increase your profits, and the best part is it’s actually super affordable. Put simply, in terms of a performance to price ratio, a VPS is guaranteed to provide great value for money whilst helping you make more! 

Secure

Security is definitely a prime concern when trading in the financial market, and a VPS offers an extra layer of security for traders. With potential data breaches and cyber-attacks being detrimental to trading, a VPS offers robust security with monitoring tools in place to help keep your data safe from vulnerabilities.

Accessibility

Finally, by opting for a VPS you don’t need to worry about being chained to your home or office and can take full advantage of being able to trade remotely! A VPS provides you with the flexibility to work from pretty much anywhere, on almost any device, with a network connection.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the most notable functions of pfSense®, the pros and cons of deploying it on bare-metal server vs. virtual machine.

Launched in 2006, pfSense is a free and open-source firewall and router software based on FreeBSD. The powerful and easy-to-use, all-in-one solution has become extremely popular and is currently amongst the most trusted open source network security solutions, with millions of installations.

Through its intuitive web interface, pfSense is extremely easy to configure and provides firewall, VPN and routing functionalities that are required for almost all types of network environments. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the most notable functions of pfSense, the pros and cons of deploying it on bare-metal server vs. virtual machine.

Functionalities of pfSense®

pfSense is a feature-rich and extremely flexible platform, with an extensive range of configurations and a long list of features, which can be further extended through code for additional capabilities. Most frequently utilized for its firewall and routing functions, pfSense offers GeoIP blocking, dynamic DNS, anti-spoofing and concurrent IPv4 and IPv6 support amongst many other features.

Its VPN capabilities include SSL encryption, multiple VPN tunnels, OpenVPN and split tunnelling, whilst pfSense’s comprehensive intrusion prevention system delivers IP blacklist database, layer 7 application detection and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).

Virtual vs. Hardware

Choosing between virtualizing pfSense and running it on dedicated hardware is something that needs to be considered before you start getting set up. With various advantages to both options, it’s likely to come down to which option works best for your needs.Common considerations when choosing between the two are cost effectiveness, power consumption and security. 

Security 

A dedicated server will always exceed a Virtual Machine (VM) from a security standpoint, but that doesn’t necessarily go to say that running pfSense on a virtual machine will cause security vulnerabilities, which ultimately comes down to the overall configuration. Although in theory, virtualizing pfSense is generally considered less secure for instances like server updates to the hypervisor, as well as having your untrusted network directly plugged into your VM platform, by segmenting your network these risks can be greatly reduced.

Efficiency

In terms of efficiency, virtualizing pfSense means utilizing your hardware for maximum efficiency and ultimately saving on energy, power and space. It can be argued that the cost saving benefits far outweigh any potential security risks, which again, if configured correctly, can be avoided. Additionally, by running pfSense on a VM, resources like CPU and memory can be shared and not wasted on a software that will only require a tiny fraction of them the majority of the time.

Scalability 

With regards to scalability, running pfSense on a VM also makes it easier to increase and decrease the CPU and memory used. When pfSense is deployed to be used only for creating VPN accounts, the option of a Virtual Machine/Server (VPS) is preferred as one can start with the bare minimum requirements and scale up as the demand for additional VPN accounts grows.

pfSense® Hardware Requirements for Virtual and Dedicated Servers

pfSense software can be deployed in two environments: dedicated hardware and servers with virtualization. Let’s see the requirements needed for each of the two environments.

Minimum pfSense Hardware Requirements for Dedicated Server:

• Quad Core, 64-bit compatible CPU
• 4 GB RAM
• 100 GB Hard Drive
• Dual Port Network Card (Broadcom and Intel work, although we recommend using Intel for best performance and greater throughput)

Minimum pfSense Hardware Requirements for Virtual Server:

• 4 vCPU (make sure the hypervisor has 64-bit compatible CPU)
• 2 GB RAM
• 20 GB Disk
• Broadcom or Intel Network Card

Deploy pfSense® as Virtual or Dedicated Server from €95/mo

Deploy the latest pfSense® software on Cloud or as a Dedicated server. Check out our two plans, choose your desired deployment type, location and you are all set!

NetShop ISP, a leading hosting company based in Cyprus, announce the launch of Looking Glass (https://lg.netshop.global) portal for the general public.

Looking Glass provides information relative to the routing and backbone network infrastructure for each of the company’s Data centers worldwide.

Through the Looking Glass portal one can choose the Data center of choice in order to perform three basic tests; traceroute, ping and MTR.

Traceroute allows a user to follow a packet through the network to a specific destination. It shows the domain, IP address and the round-trip packet times as it traces the route to the destination.

Ping can be used to show whether or not a device with a valid Internet address or domain name can return packets sent to it by a specified server.

MTR (My Traceroute) is a tool that combines traceroute and ping, which is another common method for testing network connectivity and speed. In addition to the hops along the network path, MTR shows constantly updating information about the latency and packet loss along the route to the destination. This helps in troubleshooting network issues by allowing you to see what’s happening along the path in real-time.

NetShop ISP is proud to have been voted as the Best Hosting Provider in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) 2022 at CEEG Awards in Budapest.

 The winners of the 2022 edition of the Central and Eastern European Gaming Awards have been revealed after a final secret vote by the attending participants of the Central and Eastern European Gaming Conference 2022 on September 16th.

NetShop ISP is proud to have been voted as the Best Hosting Provider in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE). Given annually, these awards recognize and reward those companies within the igaming industry that are demonstrating innovation, service quality and overall excellence.

Best Hosting Provider in CEE 2022

The Hosting Provider Award recognizes the continuous improvement and growth of NetShop ISP in terms of its quality of service, reliability, network uptime and infrastructure security.

A milestone for NetShop ISP in 2022 has been the launch of a Secure Private Network (SPN) to facilitate a fast, secure and free tunnel for data transfer throughout Europe, Asia and the United States.

“Our newly launched Secure Private Network was widely accepted by a wide range of igaming customers. Sportsbook feed providers are able to deliver data from their US infrastructure to Europe and Singapore with ultra-low latency. On the other hand, live casino streaming studios based in Europe are streaming compressed, yet high quality multimedia, at minimum cost, to their Asia-based online casino customers,” said Stefano Sordini, CEO at NetShop ISP.

About CEEG Awards

The CEEG Awards 2022 took place on 16 September 2002 at Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Budapest, during the 7th edition of CEEGC igaming conference. The CEEG Awards is an award ceremony that aims to reward the hard work of companies (gaming software suppliers, operators, and service providers) that are active in the Central and Eastern European region. The Central and Eastern European (CEE) Gaming Awards are the most important gaming industry awards in the region.

Stefano Sordini, CEO of data centre services and server hosting provider NetShop ISP, offers his insight into how igaming platforms can achieve the ultra-low latency that is crucial for an optimal user experience to ultimately grow traffic, and thus increase revenue.

Stefano Sordini, CEO of data centre services and server hosting provider NetShop ISP, offers his insight into how igaming platforms can achieve the ultra-low latency that is crucial for an optimal user experience to ultimately grow traffic, and thus increase revenue.

There is no doubt that latency destroys interactivity, with igaming operators relying on high-end technologies and sophisticated infrastructure to overcome it. With players becoming increasingly less forgiving, online casinos and sportsbook platforms need to meet user expectations in order to be successful – and low latency is the very foundation to achieving this.

Latency, put simply, is the time it takes for data to “travel” from one point on a network to another. For instance, if a live dealer studio in Armenia streams video for an online casino company whose server is hosted in Malta, with players interacting globally, the data will travel from Armenia to Malta and then to the rest of the world. 

A long delay between the cards being dealt in Armenia, to when the player sees them and subsequently places their bet, needs to be short enough to not hinder the responsiveness of the experience.

Low latency is absolutely essential 

The same is applied for sportsbook platforms. When players are betting on live games, low latency is absolutely essential. When the video streaming is slower than the gameplay or the broadcasting quality is poor, betting integrity is entirely lost. For any live streaming platform handling financial transactions in real time, every second matters, hence player engagement is heavily reliant on ultra-low latency.

Not only is high latency a hindrance to a website’s performance, poor loading times can also diminish all SEO efforts and negatively impact search engine rankings. Therefore these gambling websites will not only struggle to retain users, but also to gain them in the first place. With the importance of low latency established, let’s take a look at how it can be achieved.

Utilising certain software and frameworks, as well as implementing an advanced network infrastructure have become prerequisites for igaming providers. For any live streaming platform, it’s fundamental to adopt these technologies in order to support multiple integrated systems and ensure the high-speed transfer of data to and from the end-users (players). 

WebRTC becoming increasingly popular

WebRTC technology in particular, has become increasingly popular for igaming platforms by accommodating fast multimedia transfer from source to destination. Compatible with all mobile devices and supported by all major developers, WebRTC provisions the real-time transfer of data without delay, enhancing engagement and the user experience.

Beyond that, it’s integral for your network infrastructure to be streamlined in order to successfully achieve ultra-low latency. For this to be attainable, your hosting provider needs to offer a number of key resources. A player’s uninterrupted activity is dependent on the servers’ network speed and bandwidth, meaning dedicated network speed and flexible bandwidth both play a key role in the overall user experience. Dedicated network speed guarantees that your server is entitled to a specific speed for downloading and uploading data. Although this may be more expensive than shared network speed, it is critical in order to accommodate the fast transmission of large media types, like video streaming, to players.

Whilst network speed refers to the speed at which data can be sent and received, bandwidth denotes how much data can be sent and received at once, which is equally as important. In essence, you don’t want to be capped once your servers have reached the allocated amount of monthly traffic. 

It is common in the igaming sector that a server will utilise low bandwidth during weekdays, and large spikes on weekends. Therefore, it is important that your hosting provider can offer uncapped or unmetered bandwidth to your hosted infrastructure for optimal performance.

CDNs are also commonly implemented by igaming operators in order to reduce network latency. A content delivery network (CDN) utilises a global network of servers in order to streamline the delivery of downloads by caching content in multiple points of presence (PoPs) all around the world, meaning users can access it from the PoP closest to them. A CDN ultimately improves performance, scalability and the overall user experience for a global audience. 

IT location choice is make or break

Lastly, your server and infrastructure’s geo-location also greatly contributes to the network latency you could face. For any igaming business, the choice of location of its IT infrastructure can be a make or break decision. However, oftentimes within the igaming sector, regulatory compliance may potentially affect the decision of where to host your infrastructure. 

Let’s take our earlier example of an online casino business based in Malta operating a live dealer studio in Armenia. The Malta-based business would be granted an MGA licence and, as per the current regulatory framework at the time of writing this article, would be allowed to host its infrastructure in any European data centre, as long as a replication database is hosted in Malta. 

With that being said, the company must take into consideration the optimal location to host its primary infrastructure, in line with compliance. In this scenario, a location like Amsterdam would be ideal for utilising high-speed internet at a low cost, as well as benefiting from the Netherlands’ prevalence within the igaming industry. 

High latency can be detrimental for any online business, but for an online gambling business the ‘stakes’ are even higher. By implementing these key resources, strategic decision-making and the right technology partners, the ultra-low latency required to surpass customer expectations will not only be achievable, but also highly profitable.

In this article we’ll make it easier for you by breaking down how to choose the best VPS hosting plan in Cyprus and why Cyprus is an ideal hosting location too.

Whether you’re just launching a new website or are looking to switch up your hosting services, finding the right hosting company is an important, yet time-consuming task. In this article we’ll make it easier for you by breaking down how to choose the best provider for VPS hosting in Cyprus and why Cyprus is an ideal hosting location too.

What is VPS Hosting

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a type of hosting that splits one physical server into multiple Virtual Servers with the use of virtualization technology. Each VPS is allocated its own resources and runs independently from others on the same server.

VPS hosting has climbed in popularity due to the increased performance and security it offers in comparison to shared hosting, whilst still being a much cheaper option than a dedicated server.

VPS hosting in Cyprus

Many businesses and individuals are looking to Cyprus for their hosting needs, and for good reason too. Cyprus has become perhaps one of the most popular hosting locations due to its prime location, ever-improving infrastructure and endless business opportunities. Here are our top 3 reasons to choose Cyprus VPS hosting.

Prime location

Cyprus is unique in that it is the only European country to technically be located in the Middle East. Cyprus’ presence in the EMEA region has made the country a truly dynamic and strategic location for establishing business operations.  

Business benefits

Location aside, Cyprus also proves advantageous for businesses due to the country’s attractive taxation system which sees corporate tax be as low as just 12.5%. Along with its hospitable environment for offshore company formation opportunities and access to the various European Union trade treaties.

Safe destination

Business continuity is essential under any circumstance, so the safety of your servers and data is essential. VPS hosting in Cyprus also provides you with the extra peace of mind of knowing that your servers are safe due to the country being at low risk of natural disasters.

How To Choose the Best VPS Hosting company in Cyprus

Performance

The first thing you need to assess when choosing a VPS hosting provider is the level of performance and availability you can expect. A good hosting provider will guarantee a stable environment and high server uptime, so be sure to ask about SLAs before committing.

At NetShop we’re proud to offer our clients 99.9% network uptime guarantee for their websites and hosted applications.

Support

Equally as important as performance is the level of support you will receive from your provider, and how quickly you can expect it. A hosting provider that offers 24/7 technical support will prove extremely valuable to the smooth running of your website.

We provide second-to-none support to our clients through multiple communication channels, any time of the day, for the utmost efficiency.

Price

Generally speaking, VPS hosting is a cost-effective solution but as it’s an ongoing cost you need to make sure that it’s budgeted for. Your choice of hosting provider should be able to offer great value for money that best reflects the quality of service you buy.

Our VPS plans start from less than €4 a month when you opt to pay annually, with a range of packages that suit all requirements.
