We regret to inform you that our price for VPS/VDS and remote desktop has been increased up to 20%.<br><br>This decision is due to the fact that since last year the price of electricity for business and services has increased by up to 500%, which has undoubtedly affected the market for server services and the final cost of the product. In turn, we want to continue to maintain the level of quality and stability of our service that we provide you, but it has become an additional financial cost.

<description><![CDATA[Protect your server from network attacks!]]></description>
<turbo:content><![CDATA[<b>Dear customers!</b><br><br>We would like to remind you that our company provides DDoS protection for VPS/VDS and dedicated servers in the Netherlands.<br><br><br><b>Let's take a look at what is a DDoS attack?</b><br><br><b>Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS)</b> is a set of malicious manipulations and procedures used to disable and make inaccessible endpoints on the Internet. Using this attack, the attacker overloads channels and resources of network equipment and thus causes the server or website to fail, depending on the type of attack.<br><br>Usually the attacker uses the important parameter of the communication channel - its bandwidth. Using an attack called "flooding", the attacked server is faced with the fact that its entire channel is clogged to failure, "to the ceiling", and thus the actual and "live" requests to the server address can not make it through the queue of this flooding.<br><br>Divide DDoS-attacks into categories depending on which level of the OSI network model the attack on a resource. Below we have presented the most relevant types of attacks faced by users who are under a DDoS attack.<br><br><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%;background:#FFFFFF;"

and are the most common for attacks because of their ease of implementation. This includes primitive channel jamming via UDP flooding or SYN flooding and subsequent line congestion. Such attacks can be easily spotted by traffic monitoring and appropriate action can be taken.<br><br>Application layers L6-L7 are less used because of the complexity of their implementation, as these attacks are aimed at interacting with a specific application on the resource (site, page, form on the site, application on the network, game server) and require certain technical skills.<br><br><b>Methods of protection against DDoS attacks</b><br><br>DDoS protection for VPS/VDS or dedicated server can be performed in active and passive forms.<br><br><b>Passive methods</b> of protection involve the use of special software, which is aimed at filtering incoming traffic to the server and its processing depending on the required parameters. It should be noted that this type of protection is effective only in narrowly targeted attacks with a small amount of traffic, because all of its processing falls on the attacked server. This requires resources and time. And if you have a high-loaded application or resource - it will be extremely detrimental to its availability.<br><br><b>Active methods</b> include filtering and blocking network traffic at the provider level.<br><br>Filtering of incoming traffic is done through firewalls and access control lists (ACLs). The entire load of processing incoming traffic on the server falls on the network equipment provider network, so your server gets only clean, filtered traffic and does not experience increased loads and resource consumption during its processing.<br><br><b>What do we offer?</b><br><br>Our service offers all our customers DDoS-protection service L3-L4 level on virtual and dedicated servers, which are located in the Netherlands. This location has the highest quality connectivity and the most advanced network equipment and computing capabilities to repel attacks. We would like to point out that DDoS protection can be installed on an already ordered VPS/VDS or dedicated server. There is no need to order a new server service. There is no installation fee!<br><br>Read more details about DDoS Protection service on the following link<br><br><a href="https://isplevel.com/en/ddos-protection.html" target="_blank">https://isplevel.com/en/ddos-protection.html</a>]]></turbo:content>

<description><![CDATA[Using higher performance NVMe drives on servers.]]></description>
<turbo:content><![CDATA[<b>Dear customers!</b><br><br>We are glad to inform you that we updated our platform in the location <b>Ukraine</b> and now VPS/VDS virtual server services are provided on NVMe drives!<br><br><b>What does it mean?</b><br><br>Using NVMe drives allows you to get better performance compared to SATA SSD drives, and many times compared to regular hard drives. These storage media are great for projects where you need faster drive speeds and require shorter read and write times to the medium.<br><br>But that's not all! Now you can <a href="https://isplevel.com/en/rdp-server.html" target="_blank">order a remote desktop (RDP)</a> on NVMe as well as a <a href="https://isplevel.com/en/vds.html" target="_blank">VPS/VDS server</a> on NVMe drive. All our virtual server services in Ukraine now exclusively on NVMe disks.<br><br><b>NVMe - what is it?</b><br><br>NVMe is the latest and greatest storage interface for computers and servers, offering much faster read and write speeds than older interfaces. But using NVMe disks does not always allow you to get multiple performance gains.<br><br><b>What are NVMe drives?</b><br><br>NVMe drives are much faster than the SATA drives we're already accustomed to.<br>To ensure high bandwidth and low latency, the NVMe protocol provides access to flash memory over a PCI Express (PCIe) bus that supports tens of thousands of parallel instruction queues and is therefore much faster than hard disk drives and traditional all-flash architectures, which are limited to a single instruction queue. NVMe drives can use 4 PCIe lanes, which means a theoretical maximum speed of 3.9 Gbps (3,940 Mbps). Meanwhile, the read and write speed of one of the fastest SATA SSDs is about 560MB/s.<br><br>NVMe drives come in a variety of form factors. The most common is M.2 in the form of a compact board for plugging into a Mini PCie. They are 12mm, 16mm, 22mm, 30mm wide and can be 16mm, 26mm, 30mm, 38mm, 42mm, 60mm, 80mm or 110mm long. These drives are thin enough to sit flat on your motherboard, so they're perfect for small form factor computers and laptops. You can also find drive options with PCIe x4 connectivity for server solutions.<br><br>The NVMe specification allows you to take advantage of nonvolatile memory in all types of computing environments. In addition, it is future-proof and can be extended to work with permanent memory technologies not yet invented.<br><br>]]></turbo:content>

<description><![CDATA[Error when receiving incoming mail on Exim mail server version 4.96]]></description>
<turbo:content><![CDATA[Recently, more and more users and administrators of Exim mail server with version 4.96 began to face the problem of receiving incoming mail, namely after updating the exim package within the system. This is expressed by the fact that the mail service user can send an e-mail from the server, but when trying to receive it back - the e-mail will not be delivered. ISPmanager 6 also has this problem.<br><a class="highslide" href="https://isplevel.com/uploads/posts/2022-08/1661928763_exim-tainted-arg-error.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://isplevel.com/uploads/posts/2022-08/medium/1661928763_exim-tainted-arg-error.png" alt="Exim Tainted arg Error" class="fr-dib"></a><br>When trying to send an e-mail to a mailbox on a problematic server with Exim 4.96, the sender gets a reply about failure to deliver e-mail and a file with technical information. Unfortunately, this information is not quite informative and does not contain any specifics.<br><br>Text of the reply from the mail server about the problem<br><pre class="language-markup"><code>This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

<title>HTTP/3 - new version of the protocol</title>
<guid isPermaLink="true">https://isplevel.com/en/news/66-http3-new-version.html</guid>

<description><![CDATA[Getting to know HTTP/3]]></description>
<turbo:content><![CDATA[<b>What is HTTP?</b><br><br><b>HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)</b> is a universal hypertext transfer protocol. Absolutely all text data on all sites on the web is transmitted via HTTP.<br><br>More than thirty years ago was released version HTTP/0.9. It used only the GET-method and had no service headers. In May 1996 came HTTP/1.0. This version included new methods, headers, and caching.<br><br>HTTP/1.1 was introduced three years later in 1999. The protocol was augmented with keep-alive, and made a major and significant change that affected the entire development of the web - the Host header. Thanks to this, we can now allow for shared hosting, and place multiple domains on the same IP.<br><br>In February 2015, a new protocol standard came out - HTTP/2, which was based on the application layer protocol for web content transfer SPDY. The HTTP/2 protocol became binary, header compression (HPACK), multiplexing and resource prioritization were introduced, as well as the option to cancel downloads and Server Push. The multiplexing feature made it possible to send multiple files at once.<br><br>Since the release of HTTP/2 all its users expected significant changes in the speed of sites, but in practice it turned out that most of the protocol innovations were not made quite correctly. Management of threads and priorities, as well as Server Push technology for sending resources to clients were not as efficient and productive as the developers wanted.<br><br><b>What's the difference between HTTP/3 and the previous protocols HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2?</b><br><br>The HTTP/2 protocol was developed with the goal of maximizing downloads of web resources, primarily related to the visual layout of the site. The HTTP/3 protocol has significantly advanced in this direction - it establishes a connection between the server and the client even faster through the QUIC protocol. The essence of the latter is to combine transport and cryptographic "handshakes" into one.<br>As a result, we save the cycle of reception-transmission due to which the connection is established more quickly and the download speed of the site elements increases.<br><br><b>The difference between HTTP/3 and the previous HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 versions?</b><br><br>HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols use a TCP connection, while HTTP/3 works with the QUIC protocol which uses a UDP connection.<br><br><b>What exactly is the difference between the two?</b><br><br>TCP requires a confirmation of delivery, namely a response from the client to whom the data packet is delivered. To that end, a connection must be established in advance.<br>For UDP there is no need to be connected in advance and data packets are delivered many times faster.<br><a class="highslide" href="https://isplevel.com/uploads/posts/2022-08/1661690271_http3-tcp-udp.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://isplevel.com/uploads/posts/2022-08/medium/1661690271_http3-tcp-udp.png" alt="HTTP/3 TCP UDP" class="fr-dib"></a><br>Recently, the TCP protocol has been virtually unchanged. We have a significant increase in data transfer rate at the physical level, but the stability of the connection this time has not added. In search of an alternative the developers have stopped the attention on UDP. To guarantee and optimize the packets delivery the TCP uses lots of parameters, while UDP only involves the destination and the receiving ports, data length and checksum. UDP doesn't require a "handshake" to establish a connection and doesn't have the head-of-line effect mentioned below. In other words, it is an easier and faster protocol compared to TCP.<br><br><b>Multiplexing<br></b><br>When using HTTP/1.1, a separate connection is required for each site element. The multiplexing method in HTTP/2 allows all site elements to be downloaded with just one TCP connection between the browser and the server.<br>HTTP/3 also uses a multiplexing method using the UDP protocol for even faster site loading speeds. It sends multiple streams of data simultaneously to compensate for streams that were lost on the way to the client.<br><br><b>Headers</b><br><br>In HTTP/2, compared to HTTP/1.1, page element headers are sent compressed. This is to allow the network link to accommodate auxiliary information during transmission.<br><br>In HTTP/3, for even more optimization, QUIC uses simplified headers and specialized small packets to transmit additional information.<br>Greater security for users<br><br>HTTP/3 has done away with the definition of plaintext and built the TLS security protocol directly into QUIC, so that the data is always encrypted. Data interception in this case is difficult and there is almost no chance of doing so.<br>Built-in encryption also speeds up HTTP/3 itself. In normal HTTPS, the three-way TCP handshake has to end at the transport layer, and happens before any real data is sent between the client and the server. QUIC, on the other hand, combines the two handshakes so that they occur simultaneously. The client and server confirm that the connection is open and simultaneously generate TLS encryption keys.<br><br><b>Priority</b><br><br>A significant increase in site download speed for users is achieved by prioritizing content downloads. A separate thread exists with its own priority, so in the case of a long page, the top fragment will be loaded first.<br><br><b>Packet loss</b><br><br>One of the current problems is Packet Loss. 3G, 4G, LTE wireless technologies are more often used on the street, where there are signal re-reflections, which leads to regular packet loss.  In addition, there is no guarantee that packets sent in a certain order will arrive that way - they can swap places during the reception phase.<br>Another problem with wireless transmissions is the random delay between packets. Because of these delays the quality of the connection suffers, and it is possible that the client does not know for sure if a packet was received and therefore the data is requested again.<br>All this leads to such an unpleasant phenomenon as head-of-line blocking.<br><br>For example, we send some data to the TCP channel, and if one packet is lost, we receive nothing on the output. In this case TCP either queries the packet or some time passes and the data is sent again. However, until the data is retrieved, we cannot access the files already in the buffer on our computer.<br><br>The head-of-line problem is solved in QUIC in the following way. Unlike TCP, where file transfers are one thread, QUIC uses separate threads. The loss of a single packet in TCP makes the whole thread useless and discarded. In QUIC, if an individual packet is lost, we still get a number of successful threads to work with (and one incomplete thread that can be re-requested separately).<br><br><b>HTTP/3 efficiency</b><br><br>HTTP/3 is noticeably faster and allows you to use the full width of the communication channel. The updated protocol has less service information and, consequently, the connection is faster. This is well noticeable when transferring a large number of small files. Example: Twitch, Youtube. The connection is more stable and does not break.  Downloading files via Wifi and mobile network will continue when reconnecting.<br><br>There are also disadvantages, since the entire implementation of the protocol is not done at the kernel, hardware and network level, but at the User Space level. It is vulnerable to DDOS-attacks and flood attacks.<br><br>All of these methods can significantly save network and server resources, as well as eliminate delays required when establishing connections when working with sites.<br><br>]]></turbo:content>
