How to choose the best location for a VPS Server in 2021

VPS Hosting is an ideal option if you are seeking for high resources at an affordable price. In this article, we’ll look at what things to consider when choosing the location of your VPS Server in 2021.

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.

How to Buy Offshore Hosting with Bitcoin

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.

Buy NetShop ISP Hosting Services with Bitcoin

We’re proud to have led the way as the first web hosting provider in Cyprus and Malta to accept Bitcoin payments. We’ve made it even easier for our customers to buy our services with Bitcoin via Coinbase Commerce.

Simply follow our order process as normal, choose from BitPay or Coinbase Commerce under payment method at the checkout, and proceed with your payment. If you prefer, you can even request an address from our Billing department to complete the crypto payment manually.

If you have any further questions about Bitcoin payments, offshore hosting, or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team.

Best Colocation Hosting in Cyprus in 2021

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.

Best Cyprus Colocation Hosting plans 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.

Colocation Hosting with NetShop ISP  

We offer affordable, secure and reliable Colocation in Cyprus with a range of added benefits that will guarantee you a smooth hosting experience.

Our Colocation plans are scalable to your needs and we also offer various add-on services like Infrastructure Management and Hardware Firewalls. Moreover, we offer a hardware procurement service so that you don’t have to deal with multiple vendors or shipping & logistics on how to deliver your equipment in Cyprus.

How To Install GNOME Desktop (GUI) on Ubuntu Server 18.04

We show you the easiest way to install GNOME Desktop on your Ubuntu server 18.04, so you can manage it via GUI (Graphical User Interface) as if you are working on your personal computer.

Ubuntu 18.04 is one of the most popular Operating systems when purchasing a VPS or a Dedicated server. If you have purchased a VPS or Dedicated Server from NetShop ISP, or any other hosting company, then most likely the distribution installed is the Ubuntu Server 18.04 which means you will need to manage your server via terminal (CLI).

In this article we will show you the easiest way to install GNOME Desktop on your Ubuntu server, so you can manage it via GUI (Graphical User Interface) as if you are working on your personal computer.

Step 1. Check Pre-requisites

All you need is access on your Ubuntu server and have a user account with sudo privileges, or the root account itself.

Step 2. Update Ubuntu 18.04

Before we proceed with the GNOME Desktop installation, you need to update and upgrade your OS packages, including the kernel. Do it by typing the following commands:

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

The “-y” parameter in the end means you will not be prompted to choose Y/n during the updates and upgrades process. It will consider “Yes” automatically and proceed further.

Once the execution of tasks is completed, reboot your server:

shutdown -r now

Step 3. Install GNOME

It’s time to proceed with the GNOME installation. As this will require a lot of packages with dependencies to be installed, we will use a special tool named tasksel. Tasksel is a tool available in Ubuntu and Debian distributions which helps to install multiple related packages with their dependencies, as a coordinated task.

To install Tasksel, login to your server after it has been rebooted and type this command:

sudo apt-get install tasksel -y

Once the installation completes, continue with the following command:

sudo tasksel

Upon issuing the above command, you will see the following screen. Scroll down in the list and select the “Ubuntu Desktop” option as indicated below.

Selecting Ubuntu Desktop for installation with Tasksel

By clicking “OK”, Tasksel will begin installing all necessary packages for the GNOME Desktop on your Ubuntu server.

Grab a coffee and allow it a couple of minutes until the installation completes. Then reboot your server again.

Once it’s up again, you will see the login screen by Ubuntu’s new LightDM Display Manager, as shown below.

LightDM Display Manager of Ubuntu Server GNOME Desktop

Congratulations! You have now GNOME Desktop GUI installed on an Ubuntu server 18.04!

Still Need Help?

If you are a NetShop ISP customer, then we can help further! Simply contact our Technical support team via ticket (https://my.netshop-isp.com.cy) and we can install GNOME Desktop on your Ubuntu server.

myNetShop is an intuitive, purpose-built, self-service portal to manage your Web Hosting and Servers, communicate with our 24/7 customer service team and pay for your Invoices.

Whilst your shared web hosting account can be fully managed from the cPanel’s control panel interface, yet there are circumstances where the myNetShop portal can be useful to perform certain actions for your hosting account.

When Does myNetShop Come Handly for Hosting Management

1. Your IP address is blocked on cPanel server

One of the most common reasons your IP address might get blocked on cPanel’s firewall is when you have forgotten your e-mail’s login credentials. For security reasons, our firewall is triggered to auto-block your IP address after 5 failed login attempts within 300 seconds.

Whilst you can always contact our Support team to unblock your IP address, you can also login to your myNetShop account, navigate to your cPanel hosting service and change your e-mail account’s password instantly.

It happens! In case you have forgotten your cpanel login credentials, myNetShop is an easy way to quickly access your hosting service and either reset your cPanel’s password or perform the actions you have to do without losing time.

3. cPanel’s UI Can Be Confusing

Even though cPanel is considered to be the #1 web hosting control panel, people tend to get confused when seeing a page with a lot of functionality buttons. The way we have integrated cPanel into myNetShop, you get 1 page with all the important administration actions on the side so you can easily navigate to the section you wish and quickly complete your needed task.

Check out the following 8-minute video to explore how you can benefit from the myNetShop portal for managing your cPanel hosting service.

All our cPanel Web hosting plans start from €5 per month and are available in Cyprus, Malta and the United Kingdom.

Advantages of Offshore Hosting vs. other popular hosting locations

Hosting your Website in an offshore location has advantages versus other traditional and popular hosting locations. In this article we explain what is offshore hosting and what are its advantages

Choosing your hosting location is something that needs careful consideration, and although it may be tempting to go for the cheapest or most prevalent location, your circumstances and requirements are what really determine the best hosting location for you.

In this article we’ll take a look at the advantages of offshore hosting in comparison to other popular hosting locations.

What is Offshore Hosting

Offshore web hosting really is exactly what it sounds like – hosting your website in a different country to the one that you live or operate in. You may be thinking that hosting your website in another country is pretty common – but it’s generally only considered offshore hosting when there’s a specific reason for you to be hosting there, like anonymity, privacy laws or other reasons related to the content you’re hosting, for example.

When it comes to where you choose to host your website, location really does matter. There are a lot of popular hosting locations and offshore hosting has some huge advantages. Here are some benefits of offshore web hosting.

Benefits of Offshore Hosting

Anonymity

One of the biggest reasons people decide to host their website offshore is the desire to remain anonymous. An ideal offshore hosting location will have a commitment to anonymity and strong privacy laws in place to protect your identity, like the Netherlands, for example.

DMCA Content

Following on from that point, as we already mentioned, the content that you’ll be hosting may be a big reason to opt for offshore hosting. A good offshore hosting location is one that is committed to freedom of speech, where the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is somewhat ignored and laws are in favor of confidentiality – making it less likely for your site to be forcibly taken down due to controversial content.

Cost

One obvious reason that website owners opt to host their websites offshore is that it may be cheaper. If you live somewhere where hosting services are expensive, opting for offshore hosting may simply be a cost-effective solution for you. If you’re also seeking to establish a business presence at your offshore hosting location, choosing somewhere with an attractive taxation system and promising business opportunities, like Cyprus, is ideal.

Safety

No matter where your server is located, you’re going to want the peace of mind of knowing that it’s in a safe and secure location. A prime offshore hosting location is one which is safe from natural disasters and therefore poses little risk of connectivity issues and power outages, like Malta, for example.

Close to your customers

Another big advantage of offshore hosting is that it allows you to host your website closer to your customers. If you’re based in the UK but your customer-base is mainly in Asia, hosting your website in Singapore will improve performance, reduce latency and ultimately offer your customers a better experience.
