			<description><![CDATA[<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">There is an inextricable link between low latency and financial benefits in the world of Forex trading. Because of its impact on Forex trading, professional traders place a high value on latency. It plays a crucial role in the success of their trading tactics.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">Both individual and institutional Forex traders want low latency. So, first, we'll go over what forex trading is, then we'll go over what latency is and how to cope with it.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">The forex market is a decentralized market. Trading in this industry necessitates handling orders on a global scale.

<br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">Because data is collected from all key hubs across the world, there is naturally some lag in this system.

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">What is Latency and Why Does it Matter?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">Simply put, latency refers to the time that passes between a request and its answer. Latency has a direct impact on how long it takes a trader to communicate with the market when it comes to trading. Latency issues also have an impact on the timely receiving of relevant market information and the ability to act on it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">The speed with which traders acquire information and appraise the market, then send their order to the broker who executes it at the appropriate price, is critical to long-term profitability. Low latency connectivity is essential for keeping the time it takes to perform the full operation to a minimum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">As technology-based trading has progressed, the chances of a trader getting a competitive edge or disadvantage as a result of latency's impact on Forex trading have increased. In terms of the active trader, latency must be assessed and regulated in order to maximize the possibilities of success.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">The term "data lag" refers to one of the most typical latency issues while using market data.

Many of these concerns, such as exchange platform hardware issues and internet connection bottlenecks, are completely beyond your control as a trader.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0e101a;" class="mycode_color">They can occur without warning and go unnoticed by the dealer or anyone in charge of the services.

			<description><![CDATA[Last night I was able to upgrade Debian 8 to Debian 10 from the command line, using a tutorial of Mashiro's:<br />
<a href="https://post4vps.com/Thread-Easy-way-to-upgrade-Debian-9-to-Debian-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://post4vps.com/Thread-Easy-way-to-...-Debian-10</a><br />
<br />
To say the speed increased, is understating it.  Debian 8 performance was OK and normal fast.  But after the reboot, the performance of my VPS was like lightning in comparison.  How come?<br />
<br />
So what was there in Debian 10 that made the VPS perform so much faster (and possibly more efficiently) than Debian 8 did.  Again, Debian 8 was doing OK.  Not as fast as Debian 9 that I was using yesterday.  But Debian 10 for me is a total surprise.  A nice one!   <img src="https://post4vps.com/images/emoji/biggrin.png" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" class="smilie smilie_4" /><br />
<br />
I should check out tutorials for Debian as well.  Like it's not that difficult to use Debian so far coming from CentOS as all I do is replace yum with apt-get, and Google has an answer for everything.  But would be nice for me to have a closer look with a quality how-to tutorial.<br />
<br />
Over the last few days of tutorials I just come to experience first hand how many iffy and rubbish tutorials there are out there under really good and what seems to be reliable names.  Like maybe the tutorials are mostly used as a cheap means of advertising the business. They are not that complete and can put one on the wrong path very easily, particularly if one takes them seriously.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello fellow members, I have been in the industry since 2014 testing out stuff that doesn't even make sense like several control panels I have tested just for the fun, and honestly speaking I had an urge to test out their functionality and user experience. I have tested several Free ones open source ones and some commercial ones too. So let's just share them all here. I will be covering the Panels which are Free as in &#36;0 for any fees. So let's just get started with the list of free panels.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1. Keyhelp</span><br />
You might be wondering what is this thing, well keyhelp is been a really helpful panel from the last year(i.e. 2019) it supports everything I needed to run a shared hosting server for several of guys(they said they wanted to isolate users and all) keyhelp is actively developed for Debian based Linux distros with several new features popping out every new update. The features and capabilities of this one are really good it has a special function where it will automatically update all packages swiftly but it will also let you know if few packages require your attention, amazing isn't it? it has all the features one can ask for including but not limited to An advance file manager, DNS manager, mail system with queue management, and of course white-labeling(you already know what this is :wink: ) so what makes it stand out? the only thing I can think of its capabilities to automate things and preserve your settings for automatic updates without any errors(at least I didn't encounter any).<br />
<br />
More information and setup instructions: <a href="https://www.keyhelp.de/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.keyhelp.de/en/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">2. TinyCP</span><br />
You guys might have heard about this thing another Debian based panel with some awesome features(typically the same as every other panel there is like file manager, DNS, mail, etc etc) but the thing is not only with all the features running intact the memory footprint for this specific beast is low means it won't be hogging your resources at all and with the beautifully crafted code with the modular approach is just simply amazing. Sometimes I wonder why isn't this thing famous? well maybe because it's limited to Debian-based distros? who knows at least not me(i am not a god so meh).<br />
<br />
More information and setup instructions: <a href="https://tinycp.com/home/index" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://tinycp.com/home/index</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">3. VestaCP</span><br />
Wait I know before you say something I already know the development for the "official" branch is all but active there are several high-risk security issues in the code but there are still some forks that are actively in development trying their hardest to fix things that are just ignored on the official development branch. A fork from the MadeITBelgium is such an example where they are actively developing this fixing bugs and security vulnerabilities but this branch is limited and only meant for the RedHat-based Linux distros, perhaps you can find some other branch with the same active development for your favorite Linux who knows. Talking about features vestacp is really good when I consider the apache + Nginx(reverse proxy) setup it optimizes the website to its maximum performance but there are things I don't understand why did they do that. One such thing is the file manager and sFTP plugin which are paid, I know it's not a bad thing for something good to be paid but the reason stated before releasing something was "We will have paid plugins to support our development" which technically just died without any notice or announcement it was like now you can see me, poof, now you can't.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">4. HestiaCP</span><br />
Remember the vestaCP from the above point? I know you do well Hestia is a fork of VestaCP too but for Debian-based distros(IDK why did they renamed it though) well technically speaking they are of course a fork but with a different approach and what is that? their free file manager that comes out of the box to be used yay! a file manager for those who are lazy or just doing some small modifications on the go! ahem, brahmasmi! just kidding it's been an overall good experience using the hestiacp, of course, their UI is something I didn't really like but it depends on person to person. So any other features? aside from active development and file manager I can't think of any(but isn't it all you need?).<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">5. aaPanel</span><br />
Yep it's this one alright, aaPanel the internationalized version of Pagoda(Baota in Chinese) panel(bt.cn panel) yeah it's a Chinese product but I assure you not all Chinese products are bad like corona, ahem, I think I shouldn't have said that well speaking of aaPanel this thing is really amazing for single users(like me woohoo! yeah boi!) the features are good as well the modular approach like tinyCP making it better and better and on top of that it supports many things like docker, ruby apps, etc just name it and you will the module inside its AppStore, simply breathtaking me and some of my friends started using this panel like a year ago, of course, there were some issues and concerns(there are still some though) but overall satisfaction this one provided was simply over the top, then why didn't I put it at the top? because it still lacks some features like multi-users(i know it's a deciding factor for some) also this one is buggy if you want it to be you're all in one web server serving mails + websites + DNS + some random app it might break your patience when configuring it to your liking but once you get yourself familiar with this one it's quite easy(not technically you can still face some issues like lsphp installing itself even after removing OLS).<br />
<br />
More information and setup instructions: <a href="https://aapanel.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://aapanel.com</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">6. ISPconfig</span><br />
I don't think I need to say much about it one of the oldest and still growing with active development and great community support. It has most of the features one can think of from basic administration multi-user shared hosting ones just name it(well not like aaPanel that support docker, ruby, etc) the only thing I don't like about this one is the installation process if you are a beginner you will be facing something you never encountered and it will really cause a headache at some point. This one is especially for advanced users as they know what do to if an error occurred during the installation. But to be honest I really like its permission engine or whatever it is called it's by far the best I have ever seen in free panels.<br />
<br />
More information and setup instructions: <a href="https://ispconfig.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://ispconfig.com</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">7. CyberPanel</span><br />
Some of you might already be using this one it natively works with OLS(OpenLiteSpeed) and has a really good UI. It also supports containerizations and git subversion control able to deploy apps directly from the git repository. I used to be a big fan of this project just because of OLS but as time pass and I started noticing OLS is not as fast as they claimed it to be but instead, sometimes it was awful they say it supports apache rewrites but you have to restart the OLS if you made any changes and wait until it auto-restart itself after saving your .htccess file. I was testing a bunch of stuff and finally made a decision to shift from OLS to Nginx thus I made a move towards other panels. If you are into fancy things and modern UI you might prefer CyberPanel as your daily driver.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">8. Virtualmin</span><br />
I don't think there is any veteran here who hasn't used the Virtualmin as an extension of the webmin server management panel, while webmin is meant for server management Virtualmin is meant for website management allowing you to have a fully functional multi user shared hosting server. The features are by far the same as any other panel out there but the complete code visibility just makes it WOW! if I remember correctly I was successful in imitating the Cpanel server which sent the same headers and same pages rendered by Cpanel the only thing left was the UI and I dropped it after I lost the instance(it was from a provider who went in hiding in the early stage of post4vps).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">My verdict</span><br />
I know I didn't include many other panels like fastpanel, ajenti, etc but the point on this thread was to give a general idea about Server panels you can try and dig out their potentials I migrated my keyhelp VM to aaPanel as I no longer have multi-user requirements and/or hosting specific needs I am mostly deploying JS, python and PHP apps and aaPanel do the job for me without any issues if you feel like I should edit and include other panels in the list do feel free to PM/DM me and I'll make sure to discuss the usage and efficiency for the said panel.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">7. CyberPanel</span><br />
Some of you might already be using this one it natively works with OLS(OpenLiteSpeed) and has a really good UI. It also supports containerizations and git subversion control able to deploy apps directly from the git repository. I used to be a big fan of this project just because of OLS but as time pass and I started noticing OLS is not as fast as they claimed it to be but instead, sometimes it was awful they say it supports apache rewrites but you have to restart the OLS if you made any changes and wait until it auto-restart itself after saving your .htccess file. I was testing a bunch of stuff and finally made a decision to shift from OLS to Nginx thus I made a move towards other panels. If you are into fancy things and modern UI you might prefer CyberPanel as your daily driver.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">8. Virtualmin</span><br />
I don't think there is any veteran here who hasn't used the Virtualmin as an extension of the webmin server management panel, while webmin is meant for server management Virtualmin is meant for website management allowing you to have a fully functional multi user shared hosting server. The features are by far the same as any other panel out there but the complete code visibility just makes it WOW! if I remember correctly I was successful in imitating the Cpanel server which sent the same headers and same pages rendered by Cpanel the only thing left was the UI and I dropped it after I lost the instance(it was from a provider who went in hiding in the early stage of post4vps).<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">My verdict</span><br />
I know I didn't include many other panels like fastpanel, ajenti, etc but the point on this thread was to give a general idea about Server panels you can try and dig out their potentials I migrated my keyhelp VM to aaPanel as I no longer have multi-user requirements and/or hosting specific needs I am mostly deploying JS, python and PHP apps and aaPanel do the job for me without any issues if you feel like I should edit and include other panels in the list do feel free to PM/DM me and I'll make sure to discuss the usage and efficiency for the said panel.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I want to open this discussion to investigate about the usage of VPS!<br />
<br />
So, let's start, this specific thread is about the hardware specification:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>CPU vCore, tell us which is the optimal vcore count for you followed by a explanation (it can be technical or just an approximaiton)<br />
</li>
<li>RAM, tell us which is the optimal RAM amount for you, general use speaking followed by a explanation (Don't think about a HIGH-END task like huge game servers! For that case-usage the answer is simple: A LOT!)<br />
</li>
<li>Storage, tell us which is the optimal amount of storage and WHICH technology it should be for a general use followed by a explanation<br />
</li>
<li>Network Speed, tell us how much the DL link and UP link should be for a general use followed by a explanation<br />
</li>
</ul>
Specification such as geo-location and bandwith/month are not related because it is a business-part not related to the bare hardware!<br />
<br />
Please reply to the poll selection which parts matter the most for you! (You can select one or more)]]></description>

			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://post4vps.com/Thread-cPanel-Price-Increase-2021</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Today I had some time to catch up with my mail and found a mail from KnownHost which I missed somehow. From that mail I found out that cPanel is going to increase their prices AGAIN. Since the last price change didn't do much harm to their customer base it looks like our dear cPanel Co. has decided to milk their customers more. This time they have changed their pricing model from per-server pricing to a per-account. So if you have lots of cPanel accounts this gonna hit really hard. This probably effectively stop any cPanel based free hosting if there are any left. <br />
<br />
So it will be like,<br />
<br />
<ul class="mycode_list"><li>For 5 accounts – &#36;20/month<br />
</li>
<li>For 30 accounts – &#36;30/month<br />
</li>
<li>For 100 accounts – &#36;45/month + &#36;0.20 for each additional account<br />
</li>
</ul>
It's little bit cheaper if you are partner with cPanel like for 5 accounts it's 12.50 for month and for 30 it's 30 etc. So if you run shared hosting this makes you just lost benefit you got from volume. Now volume makes you loose money. This gonna hit hard for shard hosting providers who used to pay just 12.30 per month per server.<br />
<br />
Here is link to image of cPanel mail for their clients with the wonderful news.<br />
<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>https://webscoot.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/cPanel-partner-price-1.jpg</code></div></div><br />
<br />
I really hope DirectAdmin will make their panel better so many could migrate to them. I haven't used them for years so maybe they are better now. Don't like Pleak personally. I think they are over priced. I don't know if anyone posted about this before it's couple of months but I would like to hear from our sponsors that what they plan to do.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I sort of stumbled on this by accident, but in my opinion it's just too good not to share. If you're already in the know, then you know. If not, keep reading.<br />
<br />
I discovered recently, quite by accident, that I have 2 VPS in the same datacenter, and on the same node. The ping time between the two is ~.3ms, so very low latency. I decided to try and take advantage of this coincidence by setting these two servers to work in concert.<br />
<br />
I've been very impressed with cyberpanel, having used it for a couple months now. It's very clean and intuitive; but it's a bit on the heavy side for a minimalist such as myself. <br />
<br />
Webmin is a sturdy well known web server admin panel that's been in development for years. It's  lighter than cyberpanel, but also  less user friendly.<br />
<br />
So what I did as an experiment, just to see how it would perform, was set up in webmin a remote database for my cyberpanel installation, making sure to set user and database permissions so the db server can only be accessed from the web server.  I then did a custom install of cyberpanel, leaving out the services I can offload (dns, FTP, email). What I found at the end was the best of both worlds. <br />
<br />
All I can say at this point is WOW. OpenLightSpeed Web Server, left doing nothing but serving web pages, with another nearby server handling database queries, moves remarkably fast. Like spooky fast. Ludicrous speed. I knew as soon as I installed wordpress and started looking through themes and plugins I was on to something. I haven't ever seen wordpress move that way on a remote server. It's almost as fast a local install.<br />
<br />
The backend for cyberpanel, with a standard install, isn't bad. It pretty peppy, and won't leave you twiddling your thumbs. With remote database implemented on the same node, it's about twice as fast. <br />
<br />
Don't believe it? I probably wouldn't either, if I hadn't seen it. Keep reading.<br />
<br />
What I'm curious about now is how well it will perform under a bit of strain - more than I can stress it on my own. So here's an offer for the community: for a limited time only. If any respected members of the community want to try out cyberpanel with no risk, I'll be happy to set you up with a user account on my cyberpanel vps.<br />
<br />
A few notes about this offer:<br />
<br />
*For now, it is only available to  respected community members<br />
*This is a minimal setup. There is no DNS, FTP, or email. You need to be comfortable working with a file manager to manage your website, and able to set DNS records at your domain registrar.<br />
*I can make you a subdomain if needed.<br />
*you can use sendmail for transactional emails<br />
*It's hosted on a couple small vps. All server resources are to be considered 'fair share'. What this means is that everyone gets a fair share - if you are getting more than your fair share, preventing others from getting their fair share, you may be removed.<br />
*this is an new, experimental service. I am an amateur admin. You should literally expect everything to fall apart at any moment, and be surprised if it doesn't.<br />
*servers located in Los Angeles, USA. Anything you place on the server must comply with US law. <br />
*limited resources mean that available accounts will be delivered on a first-come first-served basis.<br />
*servers and domain are paid until 9/2021. Consider it a small miracle if the service is still available at this time next year.<br />
*I'm one person, not a large company. Anything can happen at any time. If I get struck by lightning or some other crazy accident, the service could disappear with 0 notice. You should expect this to happen and be prepared for it.<br />
*I will be watching like a proud parent for any sign of abuse or misuse. Legitimate use only. Testing is legitimate. Experimentation is legitimate. Porn is not legitimate. Your personal file server is not legitimate. Common sense should be applied. <br />
<br />
Lastly, I prefer to make this offer available to persons who haven't yet had an opportunity to try cyberpanel. I'm not personally involved with cyberpanel, but I'm very impressed with how it performs, and I'm happy to promote it over greedy cpanel. <br />
<br />
If you want to try it out, here's all I ask.<br />
1. Respected community members only. If you are a hosted member, you qualify. If you are not hosted but feel you are a respected community member, I'll happily review your request.<br />
2. Send me a pm with an estimate of your hosting requirements in terms of disk space/ bandwidth.<br />
3. In your pm include a  description of what type of website/service you intend to host. Indicate if you require a subdomain.<br />
4. make a post on p4v displaying your work, when you have something worth showing.<br />
<br />
Why am I doing this? Two main reasons: <br />
<br />
1. I got lucky on Black Friday with a some free VPS during a holiday giveaway. As I got them for free, this is my way of giving back. I don't like the idea of selling something I didn't pay for.<br />
2. I think it could turn into a good learning opportunity. Research is great. Experience is often better. Your account on the server is selfishly for my own education and personal benefit. You will break things and I will have to fix them. That's how I will learn. Throw a wrench at it. Give it hell.]]></description>

I haven't tried everything and just using basic features so far but I  did sort out almost all the problems I have encountered. It gonna take a bit of time to figure the interface since it's not exactly cPanel (I'm too used to cPanel). I always prefer using a panel to SSH for various reasons I have mentioned so many times here. I handle many websites so having a panel save me time as well as any messes I might make while using SSH. Plus it gives me a chance to let my clients have limited control over their sites.<br />
<br />
Virtualmin used to be my favorite panel since it gives you the power to micromanage everything. But it's a complex panel which needs quite a learning curve. My biggest problem was sometimes it's quite hard to get support from developers. A problem I had with VestaCP too. So far CyberPanel provides excellent support. Plus I can do everything through the GUI interface like taking care of PHP Extensions and configurations, and security tasks such as Managing Firewall, Modsecurity, CSF in a very easy way. <br />
<br />
Since VestaCP seems to be officially dead and next-in-line are not so user-friendly this might be the best alternative you have if you are looking for a free hosting panel to migrate. I 've created this topic as a general discussion thread for CyberPanel since I couldn't find one.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Docker on OpenVZ]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[This might be kind of an unsual topic. I'm not sure if I should post this in support request or general discussion. Please feel free to move it if you feel it better placed elsewhere.<br />
<br />
I recently rented a openvz vps. Normally I'd shy away from this, as I use docker to ease server config, and in my experience docker doesn't play well with openvz. However, this provider famously advertises on their page that their service supports docker... so I decide to give it a shot. <br />
<br />
I've been using wordops as a control panel for docker, and usually it works great. Just like I was afraid though, as soon as I try to create my first site, docker starts throwing errors.<br />
<br />
I sent a ticket to support, and we went through a few exchanges about error logs.<br />
<br />
Eventually, what I figured out, is that the vps uses kernel 4.15.0 which does not support cgroups. Cgroups is necessary for docker to provision resources for and keep contained the services it runs. Docker itself will run, and the "hello world" docker runs with no issue, but docker fails at deploying the nginx proxy used to direct traffic between the containers. <br />
<br />
After some googling, I found some interesting conflicting articles. Some state that docker requires cgroups to run; others state that there are workarounds. Most of these workarounds seem to be centered around getting docker to work on chromeOS, which isn't helpful. I tried a couple fixes including setting up cgroups.conf manually and another using umount. Both hit permissions fail.<br />
<br />
So I guess what I'm wondering is if anyone has any experience in hacking a workaround in docker to make it work on openVZ? Some experience that will actually work? Or is this a hopeless endevour, and I should just close the service and ask for a refund. I've had this vps less than 2 days, and they have a full 7 day refund policy, so it's no issue to ask for a refund. I just want to make sure I explore all the options before I do.<br />
<br />
The support was quick to respond, but gave up long before I did. Which I understand; you can't spend hours supporting a vps which costs 15&#36; a year; but maybe it can make a good topic for a forum like this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello all, I am about to enter the VPS giveaway for the first time October 1, and I was wondering if macOS or macOS Server was a supported operating system with the VPS Providers? I have ran macOS in a KVM environment before, but while reading the TOS for some of the hosts I did not see any thing regarding running a Headless Virtual Machine. What are some of your experiences with the services and do you think something like this for development would be an adequate use of resources? Thanks! - Tyler]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Around 2 weeks ago, we at Shadow Hosting did some tweaks at VPS 4's node for which a restart was involved.<br />
Considering the feedback, VPS 4's performance has been boosted for around 1.5x than normal speed on average. There were some old and useless services running in our background which we terminated and disabled it. <br />
<br />
I would like to ask <dvz_me_placeholder id="0" /> if he has seen any such boost in recent days?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[hi,<br />
<br />
I wanted to do an offline version of a very good mathematics help site (if you are interested.cut the knot org). so i used httrack and got it on my vps. It was almost 12gb.<br />
<br />
Next, being the weird person that i am, i wanted to run lrztar -z on it to see how far i could compress it.<br />
<br />
For the lrzip-lrztar novice (i am one too, apparently), lrztar archives the directory and then runs normal compression algorithm on that file with slight modification. it even finds repeated data chunks that are really far far away from one another. so kind of extended range on finding algorithm. the bigger the file, the better the output. with -z switch it is the max compression using zpaq at the cost of huge ram and time usage.<br />
<br />
Now the problem is it gets very high CPU usage which i was unable to keep in control using cpulimit. So i stopped after trying for 2 minutes. (didn't try tinkering with cgroups though).<br />
<br />
Here is my question,<br />
<br />
do you guys have any idea how i could run that on my vps safely ?]]></description>

			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://post4vps.com/Thread-VestaCP-no-longer-supported-forks</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[This discussion follows on from <dvz_me_placeholder id="1" />'s <a href="https://post4vps.com/Thread-What-do-you-think-of-VestaCP" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">thread</a> about VestaCP whether it's a good Web Panel to use.<br />
<br />
I've just learned tonight from <dvz_me_placeholder id="2" /> that VestaCP is no longer actively supported by the developers.  I then went to the VestaCP Discussion Forum to check this out and looks like the last time there have been any updates to VestaCP has been as far back as September 2019.  That means that the original VestaCP project has become a security risk.<br />
<br />
What I also learned from sohamb is that there is a Belgian fork that works with CentOS 7:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/madeITBelgium/vesta" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://github.com/madeITBelgium/vesta</a><br />
<br />
BUT - then when I did my <a href="https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=19905" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">research at the VestaCP Forum</a>, I discovered this detailed discussion there and another fork that is actively developed for Debian 10:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/myvesta/vesta#myvesta-control-panel" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://github.com/myvesta/vesta#myvesta-control-panel</a><br />
<br />
The above VestaCP Debian Fork now has my attention - particularly because of what the author of the fork says his reason is for using Debian 10:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Debian has LTS releases every two years - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_ve" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_ve</a> ... ease_table - with LTS support for 5 years.<br />
Debian10 was released in summer 2019.<br />
So, if you installed Debian10 last year - you don't need to do dist-upgrade until 2024-2025... it will be covered with security fixes.<br />
That's why I choosed Debian.<br />
You are in total peace for 5 years per installed server.</blockquote>
He was comparing this with Ubuntu that is always a headache when it has to go through an upgrade.  Obviously the more up to date the configuration that is used with VestaCP the less risky it will be to use.<br />
<br />
I'll probably try Sohamb's CentOS fork first.  As I'm a CentOS user.  But then again, maybe this is an opportunity to change to Debian.  Also, the guy responsible for developing the Debian Fork has just started a <a href="https://forum.myvestacp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">discussion forum</a>, so may be worthwhile trying it out.  There may be some active support available.<br />
<br />
In the discussion at VestaCP about whether the VestaCP Project is dead, one of the Administrators recommended the following alternative for VestaCP that may also be worthwhile pursuing - looks like it's a Project that is being developed by some of the original VestaCP staff - it has a dark theme and looks very much like VestaCP otherwise:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.hestiacp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.hestiacp.com/</a><br />
<br />
I also checked up on the regular Admin at VestaCP that used to take the lead.  Skurudo and Imperio.  Skurudo seems to have disappeared towards end of 2019.  Imperio's last English posts were participation in the thread below in which hestiacp is mentioned:<br />
<a href="https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=19531" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&amp;t=19531</a><br />
<br />
So bottom line, VestaCP has always been risky, but probably now more than ever before.  It hasn't been updated since September 2019.  However, Imperio - a lead Admin of the original VestaCP (maybe the owner?) says it's still a going concern - or maybe he is just dreaming about making changes that he doesn't have time to make nor staff left to complete:<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Imperio of VestaCP Wrote:</cite>the project is not abondoned, but team is very busy in last time. Now we are rewriting the front-end interface of the panel. Front-end of FM already done. Also we are working under support of CentOS 8 &amp; Debian 10</blockquote><br />
Imperio is still supporting the Forum but all of his posts since January have been written in Russian.  His last support related post was made a week ago.  So he is still around but VestaCP is lacking security updates.  Possibly the author of the security updates is no longer active at VestaCP any longer and Imperio has to find a new team to start from scratch again.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Should Anti-DDoS protection be a included feature?]]></title>

			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://post4vps.com/Thread-Should-Anti-DDoS-protection-be-a-included-feature</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[As the title says, what do you think about anti-DDos protection?<br />
Does your VPS (standard paid plan or sponsored) have it?<br />
Did you ever experience an attack? How did you handle it?<br />
<br />
These are simple questions that, if you own a VPS, you will face someday. There is nothing to hide, I have experience it, at least 3 time with different systems.<br />
As for my experience I can say that publishing your RAW IP address on the big internet is very dangerous.<br />
These are a lot of attacks that can target you:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>HTTP attack<br />
</li>
<li>SYN attack<br />
</li>
<li>NTP attack<br />
</li>
<li>SSH brute force<br />
</li>
<li>ICMP attack<br />
</li>
<li>Minecraft's sever attack (I am not joking, they flood the sever with ad-hoc simulated login requests)<br />
</li>
<li>ect...<br />
</li>
</ul>
The criminals just need your IP address, with simple software such as NMAP they can scan your entire port set and know what are you using.<br />
<br />
When it will happen?<br />
Well there isn't a specific moment, as soon as you publish something on the WEB you are in danger. There are services such as CDN that helps you hiding your real IP address but there are some exceptions:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>To use SSH you need to access via the real IP address, CDN can't forward SSH.<br />
</li>
<li>When you want to host a game server you need to publish your real ip, CDN can't forward game traffic.<br />
</li>
<li>Free CDN services are limited, for example they cover only the 3rd level domain, if you need some nested domain you are naked.<br />
</li>
<li>Service such as mail servers, torrents are ignored by CDN, you are naked.<br />
</li>
</ul>
What you can do to protect yourself?<br />
You can only prevent the leak of your IP address. If it has leaked and an attack is performed there are very few chance that you, as a VPS's provider customer, can handle it. You can shutdown your VPS but the traffic will always reach your provider's network.<br />
Speaking of what action you can do:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Shutdown whatever is not necessary at that moment;<br />
</li>
<li>DON'T REJECT THE TRAFFIC, you let it be dropped with a HUGE timeout, so you can slow down the criminal<br />
</li>
<li>Be sure to use a CDN service which provides minimal protection<br />
</li>
</ul>
All I have said util now is useful when your own a VPS without a anti-ddos protection, when you have such protection mostly of the attack will be handled by experts and proper hardware thanks to the providers, we are speaking of:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Hardware firewall<br />
</li>
<li>Blackhole where redirect criminals' traffic<br />
</li>
<li>Proper IP filtering systems<br />
</li>
</ul>
So, let's end this little talk: after reading such things and how easy is to get targeted, what do you think? Should anti-ddos protection be a must-have for every VPS? Should be a paid or included service?<br />
<br />
I am just a user, I am not aware of how complex is to setup such protection on providers'end. I am very curious, so if any provider read this, let us know what mean to setup a anti-ddos protection! <img src="https://post4vps.com/images/emoji/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" />]]></description>
