In this article we explain, in simple words, what TCP and UDP are and how you can monitor the activity on your Linux server in real-time.

As a web hosting provider we work closely with our customers who, in majority, are system administrators and network engineers. One of the most frequent challenges a Linux server administrator will face, is the monitoring of network connections/sockets on the server to identify and resolve bottlenecks.

In this article we explain, in simple words, what TCP and UDP are and how you can monitor the activity on your Linux server in real-time.

What is TCP and UDP?

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are both network protocols responsible for data transfers between an end-user’s device to a web server.

For example, when chatting on Skype the TCP and UDP protocols are used so that your messages can travel from your laptop or mobile, through Skype’s Servers, and reach your Skype contact; and vice-versa.

How to List all Open TCP and UDP Ports in Linux

The netstat is system administrators’ favorite command to list all open ports on a Server. However, as it has been deprecated, you can now also use the ss utility for details network statistics.

Simply type the following command:

sudo netstat -tulpn

Explanation of the netstat command flags/parameters

-t : Enables listing of TCP ports
-u : Enables listing of UDP ports
-l : Displays only listening sockets
-n : Displays the port number
-p : Displays the process name

How to Watch TCP and UDP Ports in Real-Time

To monitor the TCP and UDP ports on your Linux server in real-time, the following command should be used:

sudo watch netstat -tulpn

or

sudo watch ss -tulpn

Once you are done with Ports monitoring, you can type Ctrl-C to exit the watch utility.

Colocation or ‘colo’ as it’s commonly referred to, is essentially a service where space is leased out in data centers to house servers and other equipment. This method of hosting is typically utilized by businesses and corporations that have their own hardware, but do not wish to keep it within their own premises.

Colocation or ‘colo’ as it’s commonly referred to, is essentially a service where space is leased out in data centers to house servers and other equipment. This method of hosting is typically utilized by businesses and corporations that have their own hardware, but do not wish to keep it within their own premises. Typically businesses can opt to rent space per unit, cabinet or rack, depending on their needs.

By opting for Colocation, businesses can ensure that their equipment is optimally stored in highly-secure, premium facilities. There are plenty of reasons to choose Colocation, so let’s take a look at some of the biggest advantages.

Benefits of Colocation

Cost-effective

Perhaps the driving force behind many companies’ decision to opt for Colocation, is the long-term financial benefits. Keeping your IT infrastructure in-house involves a lot of different elements, which can really add up. From the initial investment of getting the fundamentals set up, to the ongoing energy and network costs required to maintain an optimal environment and steady temperature, and not to mention, the staffing costs of IT Specialists needed for management and upkeep.

Opting for Colocation means all of these variables are included in comprehensive packages, at a fraction of the cost and without any long-term commitments or major investment.

Performance

Storing your hardware in state-of-the-art, purpose-built and professionally maintained data centers can add significant value to your business. Opting for Colocation services ensures your servers are running to their highest performance with all of the necessary components in place to eliminate downtime and disruptions. Not only that, but Colocation also provides multiple connectivity and bandwidth options that guarantee your business will always meet demand with extensive network resources. 

Security

Keeping data safe is the core of Colocation, with facilities following strict compliance regulations to ensure the highest standards of physical and cyber security. Colocation data centers have advanced resources and protocols in place to protect your hardware and data, like 24×7 onsite security and technicians, multi-level access authorization and pre-emptory disaster recovery solutions. Security is one of the most important benefits when choosing between Colocation and on-premise hosting of your servers and network equipment.

Scalable

As your business grows, your IT needs change, and opting for Colocation provides an adaptable solution to meet your needs without consuming huge amounts of time and money. Colocation services offer total flexibility and allow you to expand hassle-free by utilizing the data center’s existing network and facilities.

Support

Having a team of highly-trained experts at your fingertips is a major benefit of Colocation that can instill a huge amount of confidence and peace of mind knowing that your servers are being well-maintained. Whether you take a more hands-on approach in the maintenance of your equipment, or leave it solely in the hands of the data center professionals, having around-the-clock support and maintenance is essential for business continuity.

In this article we’ll look at the benefits of using a VPS for Forex trading with cTrader, MT4 and MT5, and how to choose the best Forex VPS plan that suits your needs.

‘Where do I begin with Forex Trading?’ is one of the most common questions amongst those just starting out. Whilst there are many elements that come into play when it comes to trading Forex successfully, a key component is utilizing a Forex VPS. In this article we’ll look at the benefits of using a VPS for Forex trading, and how to choose the best one.

What is a VPS

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is now extremely common amongst Forex Traders, with it being a key factor in successfully implementing automated trading strategies. In terms of resources and performance, a VPS somewhat replicates a dedicated server environment, at a more affordable price. A VPS operates with the use of hypervisor technology, which partitions one physical server into many individual virtual servers, each of which are highly-secure and unaffected by each other.

Why use a VPS for Forex Trading

Generally speaking, a VPS can help you trade Forex smarter, faster and without interruptions. Let’s break it down slightly.

Automated trading

One of the best things about Forex trading is the ability to literally make money in your sleep – but that’s not possible without the necessary resources. Opting for a Forex VPS provides a stable environment that’s always available, allowing you to continue trading when your personal computer is turned off or in the event of a power outage.

High performance

In order to achieve the quotes you want, you need to act fast. A VPS provides fast, reliable connectivity and minimal downtime, which prevents delayed execution and losses due to slippage. In a nutshell, by utilizing a VPS you can effectively increase your profits.

Robust Security

Keeping your data secure when trading Forex should be amongst your biggest priorities. A VPS offers high-level security with monitoring systems in place to ensure your data is protected. Not to mention the additional comfort of having customer support available to assist you when you need it.

Choose the right Forex VPS

Server locations

Opting for a VPS within close proximity of prime financial locations guarantees low latency that is essential when trading Forex. NetShop ISP has state-of-the-art data centers strategically situated in key financial centers like the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Trading platforms

Choosing a VPS hosting provider with a clear understanding of the Forex industry will be greatly beneficial to you. In this case, it’s likely that your VPS will be fully optimized with Forex terminals like cTrader, MT4 and MT5 preinstalled and fine-tuned to work seamlessly with any Expert Advisor (EA).

Customer support

Following on from that point, a VPS hosting provider that is experienced in the Forex industry will also be able to offer you a higher level of support. Make sure to opt for a provider who offers 24×7 technical support and is easy to reach through a variety of communication methods.

The Best Forex VPS with NetShop

With over a decade of experience in the Forex industry, we know exactly what works for Traders. Our Forex VPS offers super low latency trading with plans starting from as little as €9.99 per month, and an added discount when you opt to pay annually!

If your online business is expanding and you’ve outgrown shared hosting, taking the next step to VPS hosting could definitely be the right choice for you, as it provides a lot more resources at an affordable price. So if you’ve already decided to opt for a VPS, you need to make sure it’s in the best possible location for you, too. In this article, we’ll look at what things to consider when choosing the location of your VPS Server in 2021.

What is a VPS

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a form of hosting where one physical server is partitioned with hypervisor technology to create multiple Virtual servers – each with their own set resources, like memory and disk space. A step up from shared hosting, a VPS offers a great middle ground when shared hosting is no longer viable and you’re not quite ready for a dedicated server.

As one of the most popular hosting choices, a VPS is beneficial for many reasons. Let’s take a look at a few of the advantages of a Virtual Server. 

Main benefits of a VPS

VPS is reliable

VPS hosting increases reliability and performance by ensuring that your website is not impacted by other websites on the same server. A VPS emulates a dedicated server, meaning other sites cannot affect the uptime or performance of yours.

VPS is cost-effective

You may be surprised to find out that a VPS does not actually cost much more than shared hosting, and with the amount of resources, high level of performance and stability you get, VPS hosting is most definitely a bargain! 

VPS is easy to scale

Another great benefit of a VPS is how it allows you to expand without interruptions and downtime. As your business grows, you’re going to need more resources to accommodate more customers and a VPS ensures seamless scalability.

Choosing the best VPS location

Here are our top tips of what to consider when it comes to choosing the location of your VPS.

Safe from natural disasters

When you’re deciding on a location for your VPS, it’s vital that the data centre where your server is located is somewhere that is low risk of natural disasters, and has infrastructure in place to withstand and prevent any power outages or connectivity issues. The safety and security of the physical server should be a huge priority.

Near to your customers

You’ve opted for a VPS to give your customers a smooth and reliable experience, and choosing one closer to your customer-base will enhance this even further with a faster connection and lower latency. Regardless of the quality of your server, physical distance should still be taken into consideration for optimal performance.

At NetShop, we have data centres strategically located in 7 global destinations including Cyprus, the Netherlands, Malta, the UK, the USA, Singapore and Hong Kong. 

Privacy

Depending on the type of content you’ll be hosting, picking a VPS location that has strong privacy laws may be beneficial. Where your data is stored impacts the level of privacy and rules and regulations you’ll be subjected to.

Despite the popularity surrounding Bitcoin, it’s still relatively new and so many people are left with the question ‘What can I buy with Bitcoin?’ In this article we’ll talk about how you can buy offshore web hosting with Bitcoin, and the benefits of doing so.

Over the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which have rapidly attracted massive attention from investors and financial institutions. Cryptocurrencies have greatly impacted the global market, becoming increasingly valuable and gaining huge traction.

Despite the popularity surrounding Bitcoin, it’s still relatively new and so many people are left with the question ‘What can I buy with Bitcoin?’ In this article we’ll talk about how you can buy offshore web hosting with Bitcoin, and the benefits of doing so.

What is Bitcoin

Released in 2009, Bitcoin became the first cryptocurrency on the market and its influence has quickly grown and inspired – with currently over 4,000 different cryptocurrencies existing, Ethereum and Litecoin being amongst the most recognized. In a nutshell, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currently which operates through Blockchain technology, meaning that it can function without middlemen – banks and central authorities.  

Although many were skeptical at first, Bitcoin is being heavily invested in, hence its current peak value, and is now being accepted as a form of payment by many companies. Bitcoin dominates the cryptocurrency space and its success stems from a variety of different reasons – the cryptocurrency offers transparency, heightened security and little to no fees, especially when using Coinbase.

What is offshore hosting

Offshore hosting is basically hosting your website on a server at a datacenter in any location other than the one that you reside in. There are a number of potential reasons that people opt for offshore web hosting, like wanting to remain anonymous, hosting DMCA content or even just as a way to reduce costs.

Whether you opt for an offshore VPS or dedicated server hosting, there are plenty of benefits that can ultimately improve the performance of your website. If you’re interested in finding the ideal offshore hosting location, you can read more here.

Why buy offshore hosting with Bitcoin

Anonymity  

One of the main reasons to opt for offshore hosting is the desire to remain anonymous and increase privacy. Offshore hosting provides a certain level of anonymity and freedom in regards to the content you will be hosting – which is exactly why paying with Bitcoin is ideal. It offers a solution for those seeking a higher level of privacy and discretion when it comes to the payment of their hosting services, and their overall operation.

Convenience

If a large amount of your income is Bitcoin, it would also make sense for you to want to pay your web hosting services with Bitcoin too. For many, it’s a simple solution that takes away the hassle of making transactions through alternative payment methods.

Low Fees

If you’re opting for offshore hosting, your hosting provider will likely not be located in the same country. Using traditional methods for international payments usually means you’ll incur a high fee and exchange costs. Opting to pay with Bitcoin guarantees low transaction fees, if any – ultimately helping you save more.

Colocation Hosting is especially popular amongst organizations who wish to grow their in-house IT department, and therefore require a higher level of control over their hardware.

In this article we’ll take a closer look at Colocation Hosting, and in particular, the best Cyprus Colocation Hosting in 2021.

When it comes to choosing the optimal hosting solution for your business, there are various options to choose from and many factors that should be taken into consideration. Colocation Hosting is especially popular amongst organizations who wish to grow their in-house IT department, and therefore require a higher level of control over their hardware.

In this article we’ll take a closer look at Colocation Hosting, and in particular, the best Cyprus Colocation Hosting in 2021.

What is Colocation Hosting

Often confused with Dedicated Server Hosting, Colocation Hosting is when companies rent space in data centers to house their own servers and equipment. Simply put, companies who opt for this service already have their own servers and are in charge of maintaining and managing them.

By opting for Colocation instead of keeping their servers internal, companies can take full advantage of the data centre’s benefits whilst keeping their costs down, and still having a very hands-on approach in terms of server control. For many, Colocation Hosting offers the best of both worlds – so let’s weigh up the benefits and take a look at what makes Cyprus great for offshore hosting.

Colocation Hosting in Cyprus

Cyprus is up there with the most popular offshore Colocation Hosting locations for a multitude of reasons. Situated in the heart of the EMEA region, Cyprus’ geographic location makes it ideal for offshore business activities.

The island is also extremely low risk from natural disasters, meaning power and internet connectivity will be the least of your concerns, and you can be rest assured that strong infrastructure is in place to handle any issues if they occur.

Apart from the location and safety, Cyprus is also a global business destination and hub for the Forex and iGaming industries, with an efficient taxation system that makes the country extremely attractive for businesses and investors.

For more information about Cyprus as an offshore hosting location, visit our website here.

Benefits of Colocation Hosting

Security

One of the biggest benefits of Colocation Hosting is the level of security it provides. Data centres have heightened security and precautionary measures in place to safeguard your servers, with strict protocols in place for access authorization – whilst also adhering to all of the necessary compliance regulations.

At NetShop ISP, all four of our state-of-the-art Cyprus data centers are monitored by 24x7x365 CCTV Security and 24/7 On-site Engineers.

Cost effective

The initial setup and operational costs of maintaining servers on your own premises can really add up. Your equipment needs to be stored in an optimal, temperature controlled environment, and the power and networking expenses do not come cheap. Opting for Colocation Hosting not only offers you the peace of mind of knowing that your servers are reliably housed, but also saves you money in the long run.

All of our Cyprus data centers are fully equipped with the latest electricity generators and cooling systems, offering the ideal hosting facilities at a reasonable price.

Performance

Colocation Hosting offers second to none performance and speeds that would not be achievable when hosting servers on-site. Direct connection to a hosting provider’s network guarantees exceptional speeds, low latency and a vaster range of connectivity options.

Our four carrier-neutral data centers in Cyprus offer you complete flexibility, reliability and a variety of bandwidth options – with access to major Internet Exchanges.
