What is a VPS?

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. VPS hosting uses virtualization technology to split a single physical server into several different virtual servers. This allows users to have better access to server resources and to expand the virtual server when needed. Because it is a virtual server, users are not limited by a single physical server.

In addition, because it is a private server environment, users do not share server resources with other users. That is, users share physical servers, but with virtualization technology, there is no overlap in the use of servers.

What is VPN?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Essentially, a VPN creates a private and secure network, which then extends to the entire network connection. It provides a way for users to remain anonymous online while protecting any data that is passed over that connection. Once the user has used the VPN software of choice, the VPN client will automatically encrypt any data sent over the network connection.

Before any data passes over the network connection, it will first pass through the VPN, which will then encrypt the communication and pass it on. Any online portal that the user ends up using will see that the data being transmitted is coming from the VPN server, not from the home network.

What VPN can do?

1. Hide IP address

IP address is equivalent to your identity card in the Internet, the loss of your identity card may cause personal privacy leaks, and criminals may use your identity to do bad things.

The same reason, once the IP address is leaked, the consequences are endless, so when you go online, you must protect your IP address, and VPN is an effective way to hide the IP address, no one can know your real address, privacy and security is more secure, it can be said that this is one of the most important VPN uses.

2. Virtual Location

What is virtual positioning?

Simply put, it is to change the location of your phone. Whether you use an Android or Apple phone, a VPN can help you easily change your phone's location.

By switching VPN servers, one second you are in your own country, the next second you can roam to Paris. In addition, some games require your phone to be positioned in your home country to log in, with the virtual VPN positioning, you can log in the games in any country.

3. Encrypt your online browsing history

When you connect to VPN, your online data transmission is encrypted, no matter what website you visit and what information you enter (this may include your bank account, email password, etc.), others can't see it.

Some of you may be worried, can VPN see the browsing history? If it can, it is considered to be the east wall to mend the west wall, the promised protection of privacy is not a joke. However, not all VPNs are secure. When deploying a VPN, deploy the zero-log feature at the same time.

4. Protect public wifi security

Free public Wi-Fi in airports, cafes, milk tea stores and other places is convenient, but there are risks. Hackers may be lurking in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to peek at your credit card information, account login information, and sensitive confidential transactions. If there is value, they will find it and sell it. In addition to hackers, advertisers are very interested in learning about your online and offline habits. In this information age, data is valuable, and your privacy is less important.

Your privacy can only be protected by you, so be sure not to expose your personal information easily in a public free Wi-Fi environment, and don't enter your credit card or account login information when you are on a Wi-Fi connection. But with a reliable VPN, things become much easier and you don't have to switch back and forth between networks.

5. Remote work

Generally speaking, the network used inside a large company is not connected to the external network, and hackers outside the company cannot access this network, so that the company's confidential data is safe. When employees are away on business trips, it is impossible to use the company's private line again, and VPN is needed to ensure the safety of data transmission.

In recent years, due to the new crown epidemic, many companies are quietly changing the way they work, and more and more companies support working from home, and VPN is the most basic security guarantee for employees to work remotely.

FAQ

How does VPN work?

1. When you connect to a Virtual Private Network service, it will authenticate the client through the VPN server.
2. The server applies an encryption protocol to all the data you send and receive.
3. The VPN service will create an encrypted "tunnel" over the Internet. This tunnel will protect the data transmitted between you and the destination.
4. To secure each packet, the VPN packages it in an external packet, which is then encrypted by encapsulation. The external packet is the core element in the VPN tunnel that will secure the data in transit.
5. When the data reaches the server, the external packet is removed through a decryption process.

Difference between VPS, Dedicated Server and Shared Hosting

1. Shared hosting

Shared hosting is based on a hosting server that is divided into multiple virtual hosts, capable of providing web pages for multiple websites, and each website has a corresponding domain name, and these websites share the resources on this hosting server such as CPU time, hard disk space, etc. Shared hosting is also the cheapest hosting option on the market because of this reason, but also because of this reason it can sometimes cause slow, sluggish access to websites, etc.

2. Dedicated server

What is site to site VPN?

Site-to-site VPN securely connect multiple networks by encrypting information and providing secure tunnels between them. These networks can be those of different branch offices of a company, or those of partner companies.

These VPN services are mainly used by companies with multiple physical remote offices where employees need secure access to the company network. They also use this to consolidate branch office networks for a good working experience.

The secure links between networks established using site-to-site VPNs are usually permanent IPsec connections. These connections are encrypted for all communications that occur and are always operational.
