This latest Intel CPU vulnerability exploits the same general mechanism that the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities uncovered earlier in the year. This mechanism is called “speculative execution” and refers to the technique where a CPU attempts to guess the work that will be needed in the near future and complete that work before it is needed.
cPanel is an industry leading web-based control panel that provides an easy solution with a large range of features to manage virtually every aspect of your website(s), including FTP, security, MySQL, creating sub-domains, multiple domains management and more.
Arguably it’s a lot easier and more cost-effective to monitor, manage and secure a few beloved pets than a giant, shifting herd of cattle. It’s certainly a more familiar and established approach, so the off-the-shelf products and employee skills are readily available to support it.
Memset’s next generation Cloud VPS have introduced several new features which are not possible on the previous Miniserver platform. One such possibility is the loading and configuring of custom kernel modules. This blog piece will examine the zRAM kernel module and how to use it as a swap partition on a Cloud VPS.
There have recently been a number of high profile security issues with OpenSSL and its accompanying assortment of authentication and encryption algorithms collectively known as a cipher suite. These issues have weakened the security offered by TLS/SSL which is incorporated into many applications such as FTP, email, VPNs, chat protocols, as well as the secure browsing connection via HTTPS.
As of 14th July 2015, Microsoft will finally be ending the extended support phase of the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
What the end of support from Microsoft means to customers:
We've all encountered somewhat abrupt HTTP 404 Not found pages when attempting to retrieve resources that don't exist on a particular web server. Whether someone has mistyped an address, clicked a broken link or attempted to access a file that never existed, a default HTTP 404 isn't pretty at the best of times and is generally fairly unhelpful.
Mobile is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing areas, as the pervasive use of smart-phones, tablets, iPads et al will attest.
With each new phase of development on the internet, there has inevitably come with it a new set of security challenges. There’s perhaps no better current example of this than the denial-of-service attack. DoS attacks (also sometimes Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks) are a relatively unsophisticated way to effectively wreak maximum havoc on an organisation’s web-infrastructure and their ability to communicate with their online clientele.
I often get asked by friends for advice on which operating system I recommend for a server. It's a hard question, particularly because they specifically ask which is for you the best operating system, and there's no right answer to that. I'm not the person who is going to deal with that system and it's not about what works best for me, but for you!
For example, what works best for Memset's customers? After posing that question to our database, these are the results I got:
Prior to working for Memset, I spent six years working for a multi-award winning visual effects and post-production facility in Soho as a production systems administrator (a fancy term for an engineer). Before that, I was working in the web hosting industry. Between the two industries, I’ve encountered much frustration from clients, artists and producers who have failed to take responsibility for adequately protecting their own data.
If you rent a Windows Miniserver from us, you’re more than likely to be using our R1Soft-powered backup system. Utilising R1Soft’s CDP architecture allows us to take a complete copy of your Miniserver’s filesystem, from which you can restore any files or directories that you may need. The R1Soft CDP interface provides an easy way of restoring a select group of files quickly and easily. It can also be used to perform a “bare metal” restore of the entire server if you need to.
If you sell a product then chances are you have a website, and if you have a website there is a good chance that you already have a transactional website or sell your products online. E-commerce sites enable customers to browse products in the comfort of their own home and also without the hassles or pressures of a City Centre or a keen salesperson.
Securing computers has always been a challenge even before the Internet was born, in those days security was mainly controlled by physical access and passwords. In other words, if you did not have physical access to the computer in question nor have the password then access was almost impossible.
It’s been a busy year for Memset. Not just launching new products and features, but we’ve also picked up a number of industry awards along the way. For the sixth year running, we’ve picked up PC Pro’s Best Web Host as voted by readers of the magazine. If that wasn’t enough we’ve won the ISPA Best Managed Service award as voted by other ISPA members as well as the BCS UK IT Industry Award for Small IT Supplier of the Year. Memset’s managing director also picked up The Toast of Surrey’s Business Personality of The Year.
We all know backups are very important but do we honestly do enough to ensure that we are fully resilient against failure - whether that be human or electronic?
