It’s no secret that traders are always looking for ways to optimize their trading environment for the best possible performance, in order to eliminate slippage and increase profits. Whether you’re new to the industry or an experienced trader, you’ve probably already heard a lot about Forex VPS Hosting. In this article we’ll break down what exactly Forex VPS Hosting is, and how it greatly benefits Forex traders. 

What is VPS Hosting

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. A VPS is oftentimes referred to as the middle ground between dedicated and shared hosting, as it simulates the environment of a dedicated server within a shared server. 

VPS hosting has become an increasingly popular hosting choice amongst many industries, one of those being the financial market. That brings us onto our next point – what are the benefits of using Forex VPS Hosting?

The benefits of Forex VPS Hosting

As we’re sure you already know, performance is everything when it comes to Forex trading. In a nutshell, having the right resources will hugely affect your trading success and VPS hosting has become a key component in reaching it. Here are our top 4 benefits of opting for Forex VPS Hosting.

Automated trading

Probably the main reason why VPS hosting is so beneficial for Forex trading is that it keeps you online and trading around-the-clock, even when your personal computer is switched off. That’s right – a VPS runs remotely so you can be sure that your trading software, cBots and Expert Advisors (EA) are always online, under any circumstance, like power outages or a loss of connectivity. Ultimately, a VPS provides unwavering reliability which is essential to your trading strategy.

Low latency

Every millisecond matters in Forex trading, so any way to reduce latency will make a huge difference to your overall success. Opting for a VPS within close proximity of your Forex Broker ensures super low latency and improved execution, meaning minimal slippage and losses. Delays in execution are obviously detrimental and a VPS helps combat this.

Security

Forex traders definitely know the importance of having measures in place to safeguard them from any potential threats. With cyber-attacks and security breaches being rife in the Forex industry, a VPS helps mitigate risks and downtime with added security solutions like DDoS Protection.

Cost effective

As beneficial as it is, you may be surprised to find out that VPS hosting is actually very affordable. It will certainly improve your profitability so as far as we’re concerned, it’s a bargain! Our plans start from as little as €9.99 per month with the option to save more when you pay yearly.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
