Author: DigitalOcean Introduction Config Server Firewall (or CSF) is a free and advanced firewall for most Linux distributions and Linux based VPS. In addition to the basic functionality of a firewall – filtering packets – CSF includes other security features, such as login/intrusion/flood detections. CSF includes UI integration for cPanel, DirectAdmin and Webmin, but this tutorial only covers the command line usage. CSF is able to recognize many attacks, such as port scans, SYN floods, and login brute force attacks on many services. It is configured to temporarily block clients who are detected to be attacking the cloud server.

Author: DigitalOcean Intro One of the commonly asked questions from our users is how to add another IP address to their server. You can assign your own private IP address to your droplet by creating a VPN tunnel. Whether you want to build your own Virtual Private Network (VPN), or assign an SSL certificate to that IP address, you have several options. From all of the possible options, the most optimal ones are between PPTP and OpenVPN. A Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows you to implement your own VPN very quickly, and is compatible with most mobile devices. Even though PPTP is less secure than OpenVPN, it is also faster and uses less CPU resources.

Author: DigitalOcean Introduction This tutorial is aimed at teaching you how to write shell scripts for the most variety of purposes. Shell scripts can be used to run multiple commands, a single command with difficult and extensive arguments, or more user friendly interfaces for distributing your work. Essentially it makes your life easier by automating stuff you’d have to do manually without it.

I just bought a XEN VPS with 1.5G RAM 80G DISK SPACE from BudgetVM last week. VPS MATE is now hosted in VPS. Since I bought, this VPS has been performing very stable. The only con I've found so far is some times I get disconnected from the SSH and TFTP. I'm not sure if that's my own internet problem.

August 24, 2013 @ 8:34 am, by Maarten Kossen In light of recent events, there’s been a lot of chatter about leaving free e-mail services in favor of self-hosted e-mail. With self-hosted e-mail you have the option to host your e-mail wherever you want it, either on a server at home or on a VPS. Even my friend from Bennet Office Technologies told me to switch to a privately managed server to host my website and email. There’s plenty of affordable options around to run your own mail server. I would personally recommend a Xen or KVM VPS for this, as with OpenVZ it is really easy for your provider to “snoop” on your e-mail. This is also possible with Xen or KVM, but it usually requires a reboot (which you will probably notice). I’ve used a 512MB Xen VPS for this tutorial. I’ve used “this much” memory because I want to run clamd and SpamAssassin in RAM. The server also has 45GB of disk space, which is more than enough to run a couple of big mailboxes on. You could do with less RAM (though that would increase the CPU load and slow down mail processing) and far less disk space (depending on your needs), but with “my” specs, you’re on the safe side.

With recent political issues, Canada’s quick pings to America, and more liberal internet policies (no PRISIM and patriot act), could appeal to some.

BudgetVM is a very attractive priced, virtual private server provider who runs their own network in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Miami, Florida plus in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This is very impressive. I signed up for their 512mb OpenVZ plan about 3 weeks ago and this is my review of BudgetVM. BudgetVM is owned by Enzu, Inc. who sells Xen powered cloud servers and Xen VPS servers with RapidXen. BudgetVM’s pricing is very, very attractive.

I picked up a VPS from BudgetVM, who is owned by Enzu Inc. BudgetVM has a lot of attractive features such as they run their own networks into their facilities such as Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and The Netherlands. I paid $3.99 for 2 CPU cores, 512mb RAM, 1024mb burstable RAM, 40gb of RAID-10 disk space, 2000gb of network transfer, 2 IPv4 and 16 IPv6 addresses and in a Chicago, Illinois data center. It’s not a bad deal, especially since the VPS node has Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz processors with 15mb cache size!
