CentOS is more popular among our clients - it's stable, has a huge community and the last but not the least cPanel is available for CentOS/RedHat/CloudLinux only.

Swiss-based dedicated and virtual server hosting.

You can compare VPS to a public bus. You don't own it, you can't choose who's seated next to you, your legroom is really limited and you can't change the route of the bus. The main advantage is that your ride is really cheap. Compare this to a dedicated box aka your private car: you decide...

Download and run this script on your server: https://github.com/n-st/nench Find the following line in the output: dd test 1st run: 339.51 MiB/s 2nd run: 345.23 MiB/s 3rd run: 342.37 MiB/s average: 342.37 MiB/s Anything above 100 Mib/s would be acceptable for an SSD...

Is your server alive? Could be a number of reasons, but you should check if your server is online in the first place. Are you sure that your provider didn't change the default SSH port number to any other?

You can't mine Bitcoin with a VPS. Period. Well, you actually could mine coins on a VPS some nine years ago, but it's not viable any more, especially for Bitcoin. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Bitcoin mining is a parallel computing task, thus you need a GPU or even better a specifically...

Open a SSH connection to port 22 of your server to check if it's live. You can disable SSH, but beware that if you use it to manage your server, you won't be able to do it anymore. If you want to disable SSH due to security concerns, you can change it's default port from 22 to any other. That...

+1 for forum. It's also common to use word 'talk' after the target keyword, e.g. someimportantstufftalk.com

Run a benchmark script, for example this one: https://github.com/n-st/nench You'll get an output like this one below: ------------------------------------------------- nench.sh v2017.05.08 -- https://git.io/nench.sh benchmark timestamp: 2017-05-08 20:36:54 UTC...

There's a number of services that offer ad blocking via DNS, some are paid and some are free. All you need to do is to divert your DNS requests through these 'protecting' servers that will filter out requests to malicious websites and AD networks. This also works if you don't want your kids come...

There's a number of VPS benchmarks that measure connection speed as well as many other parameters, but if you need to check just your virtual server speed, use the speedtest-cli script.

You actually can but you need a KVM, Xen HVM or VMware VPS that supports custom OS images (the tricky part) and a Windows license of course. The easier way is to find a Windows VPS provider and get a working solution out of the box.

Google CE, Amazon WS EC2, Microsoft Azure But is it worth it? Probably we could suggest a better solution if you tell us what your requirements are and what you intend to use a GPU VPS for.

There's no way to find out if a website is hosted on a bare metal dedicated box or a virtual platform, unless you have direct root/administrator access the the server. However, you can still do a reverse IP lookup to check if website has a dedicated IP or shares it with other websites. Sample...

Exactly my point. If OP owns a few DCs and pays for transit between said facilities, it would be perfectly legal to stress-test his website. :X3:

Launching a DDoS attack from a botnet is illegal in almost every country, and this is how most attacks are expedited IRL. Thus, you can safely regard DDoS attacks as an illegal activity in most countries. I'm not saying that OP will be prosecuted, most likely his provider won't even pay...

You sure know that DDoS stands for a distributed DoS attack, don't you? It means that if you want to simulate it, you'll actually have to launch it from multiple locations, which is illegal even if you target your own server, simply due to the fact that it can damage your provider's network and...

There's an overwhelming number of hosts who oversell, especially low-end ones, especially those with OpenVZ virtualization. Even though it can make hosting packages cheaper, it can (and will) degrade overall service stability and accessibility when a host server gets overloaded. BTW, most...

Sounds nice, but you've missed something important. The hardware itself! ;) Actually anyone can become a hoster, all you need is a decent VPS with WHM installed and you can start selling 'web hosting' packages right away. It's a low-risk/low-gain option that will get you involved in the...

This is not a case anymore. Gud ol COM domains are still a tiny bit better than other TLDs in terms of SEO performance for EN-websites, but difference is virtually negligible.
