Why You Might Need VPS Hosting

12月

25日

VPS stands for Virtual Private Servers and acts as a data and web file storage operated by a cloud or web hosting provider. Using virtualization technology, VPS hosting splits a single physical machine into multiple private server environments where they share the resources. When compared to shared and dedicated hosting, VPS hosting sits in between the two in terms of performance levels, flexibility, and control.

What is VPS Hosting?

There are three main types of VPS hosting:

Unmanaged/Self-Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-on approach that requires technical expertise or in-house resources to manage server-related tasks. With unmanaged VPS hosting, the business owner takes care of all server responsibilities while the hosting provider manages the physical server and its availability, making it more suitable for established businesses with the necessary IT skills.
Managed VPS Hosting: A hands-off approach that lets business owners focus fully on other business tasks while the hosting provider handles server-related responsibilities like core updates, maintenance, and software installation, so business owners can focus fully on other business tasks.
Semi-Managed VPS Hosting: The middle ground between other options, with the basic unmanaged hosting provided and the added services of core software installation and support.

You should consider switching to VPS hosting if you need to:

Handle more website traffic: Reduce page load times and wait times as your website traffic grows since it can handle a higher volume of requests compared to shared hosting.
Customize applications: Gain more control over your server environment to install custom software and integrate better with existing programs like CRM systems.
Reduce server errors: Enhance your website’s performance as you add more content or complex functionality, as VPS hosting can handle compute-heavy websites better because they’re not competing with other sites for processing power.

Benefits of VPS Hosting

There are many reasons why VPS hosting is preferable. For example, VPS hosting provides:

Protection from resource-intensive attacks
Extra security through the addition of firewalls, antivirus, and other software measures
Fast and reliable performance due to having your own bandwidth
Round-the-clock support focused full-time on server maintenance and reduced downtime
Optimized environment for performance and security

If you’re looking to switch your website to VPS hosting, we have just what you need with our new VPS plans. With nightly backups, 24/7 NOC monitoring, and a 99.99% SLA guaranteed time, rest assured your website will be well taken care of with us. Get started by signing up for one of our new VPS plans.

Apple Mail iOS 18 Update: How to Set Up Alternative Mail Clients

12月

12日

In September, Apple released iOS 18 with numerous exciting features. Soon after, we reported the update broke IMAP connections when using the default Apple Mail app, causing users to lose access to their email, primarily for users who rely on third-party email providers, like those with custom domains or using business email services. However, the issue doesn’t entirely spare personal accounts either.

Unfortunately, even months later, the problems persist and Apple still hasn’t made an official statement to address the IMAP connection problems. A quick fix for this issue is downloading and setting up an alternate mail client since it only seems to affect the Apple Mail app.

How to Set Up Your Email with the Gmail App

*You don’t need a Gmail account to use the app.

Open the App Store and search for Gmail.
Install Gmail - Email by Google.
Open the Gmail app.
Tap Sign-in at the bottom.

Tap Next.

Password: <your email password>
IMAP Server: <Enter your incoming server information>

*For our Dreamersi customers, enter: imap.dreamersi.net

Choose yes or no on whether you want email push notifications on your phone or not.

Tap next in the top right.

Choose yes or no on whether you want email push notifications on your phone or not.

How to Set Up Your Email with the Outlook App

*You don’t need an Outlook account to use the app.

Open the App Store and search for Outlook.
Install Microsoft Outlook.
Open the Microsoft Outlook app.
Tap Add Account.
If it discovers your other accounts but not the one you’re trying to set up, tap Skip at the bottom.
Enter your email address.
Tap Add Account.
Settings (Toggle on Advanced Settings if not already).
Display Name: Enter a name for your email account (This will show up in the From: field when you send someone an email).

Apple typically follows up major updates with incremental patches to address bugs, but they haven’t released one to fix this particular problem. So, until they do, keep an eye on Apple’s support pages and user forums for any official news on the issue.
