Small business Home Router SafeStream VPN Multi-WAN Gigabit TL-R605

Hello, Today, we recommend a very good little router that performs well, and is secure by default without the need for knowledge. Suffice to say that the routers provided by the suppliers are inefficient and not very secure. So, for almost 65 €, opt for a router with excellent value for money, the Tp-link TL-R605 : https://www.tp-link.com/en/business-networking/omada-sdn-router/tl-r605/ Strong points : 2 access providers can be connected in order to automatically change if one no longer works multiple VPN access methods good firewall security and excellent performance with quad core processor using 128 MB integrated RAM

High availability of a dynamic site with Cloudflare

Hello, You were frightened by the last OVH incident and you are looking to improve your situation, or even have high availability and a real business recovery plan? All this has been possible at YOORshop for many years! YOORshop did not implement its solutions yesterday, site security like data security, then performance, have been in our DNA for many years. The next configuration that we will describe is the top, and even protects us in the event of failure as a company. We have just successfully implemented and for the first time a cumulative solution between our high availability service, and the Cloudflare service with the Load Balancing option (costs $ 5 per month and requires a special configuration that we do). This option is absolutely necessary to make the change of IP automatically when our solution also automatically initiates traffic to the backup server, and vice versa. This is the site of the provider specializing in management software for Prestashop: https://www.sitolog.com This very meticulous and careful customer also asked us to send a daily backup to his o2switch account (he already manages his emails there), so the data is secure and available as much as possible. It is also possible to put the site back in place in less than 1 hour. Greetings, YOORshop team

Web Hosting : explanations about the Disaster Recovery Plan

Hello everyone, Today, we have decided to communicate on something which we are ready for long time, but, many people being under panic even if their site has not been affected, want to know more in general, and how YOORshop is dealing with this crucial point. With tragedy event of OVH data center in Strasbourg on marsh 9th 2021, fears for data loss has been awakened, and worries has come to highest level. Many people ignore truly the details of backup strategy, and how emergency recovery plans will be handled by their host, in case this is contractually the web host responsibility. For years, we always have diversified our infrastructure to prevent any sort of cataclysm that could put down our services For Europe based services, we own an equally shared numbers of servers between the 3 data centers in France We own several backup servers which are located in cross opposite destination of the backed up server, with a distance ranging from 50 to 350 kms, to thousands of kilometers for Canada and Singapore servers Improvement to come within 3 weeks : we will soon set up backup servers located at least 500 KM in Europe from production servers, and with a supplier other than OVH We maintain a free capacity to an average of 50% so that to have the immediate capacity for restoring services to already running servers Incident of OVH data center in Strasbourg on marsh 9th, 2021 Incident started around 1 AM. Truly, we have been very little affected, and we triggered the Disaster Recovery Plan within 3 hours, after we observed that the situation would not recover quickly. Not more than 8 cPanel accounts has been affected, and starting from 8 AM, all sites affected was already up. From plan 3, on request, we can set up an extra backup to an external destination (VPS excluded) This extra backup is also a guarantee against failure of our company. Everything must be considered ! Then, the question would be, which backup host to choose. Criterion we consider here are : use of cPanel/ a competent and reactive support / decent performance / possibly unlimited disk usage all big web hosts should be excluded, they would especially fail in term of reactivity For French speaking customers, Host https://www.o2switch.fr is optimal because they are reactive, and provide unlimited disk usage, on your request, they would put back in place your cPanel account exactly as it is based on the backup files, and all you will need to do is to update your DNS. For English speaking customers, we would recommend https://krystal.uk/web-hosting Thank for your trust, YOORshop Team

Bored with Coronavirus news ? let's talk of the CO2 threat

Hey folks, Let's distract ourselves with another subject than the coronavirus one which liquefy us daily, I want to cross things with CO2 subject where Elon musk recently hitted the anthill with his lottery announcement about a 100 M$ prize, for who would propose the best technology to capture CO2... Well, this is a gigantic financial prize to attract attention of the whole world, bravo on this Elon, but, we are not all as clever as Elon and the thousands of scientists/engineers which area already elaborating strategies for the sake of making our world better livable with less CO2. I think that Elon has already the full knowledge of all existing inventions/ideas, including his one possibly, and want to force action by bringing together all forces, and start the battle with no more delays. If I'm right, he is right :), it's time to truly begin the battle with what we have, and if something better come later, nothing is unchangeable. As a geek, I browsed the internet, read a lot of articles where informations sounds reliable, and I tried to understand the key points on this subject. Question 1 : Does such level of CO2 has never been seen in the past ? No, 3 millions years ago, such levels were already existing Question 2 : What is then the issue today with such CO2 level ? Us, earth is having its natural warming cycle on which we can't do anything objectively. Human life is accelerating the CO2 saturation in atmosphere and is threatening our living. We must do something pro-active to co-live with such circumstances, and we must regulate the CO2 level in several manners, both massively, but also everywhere where CO2 concentration is too high. Question 3 : Where there is the most CO2 to capture and recycle ? In the atmosphere, at 11km high, and this is here that the biggest job needs to be started. I found an article about company Carbonity which sounds pretty impressive in term of capture and recycling CO2 Question 4 : Is there anything to capture at ground level ? Yes, absolutely. CO2 is everywhere, then there is not a single solution. The ground/low altitude CO2 level is as important as the one in high atmosphere. Reducing our CO2 production has revealed to be from far insufficient. Nature can do it for us, but we must help it. From my point of view, the work of scientist Joannne Chory is impressive, and full of credibility Question 5 : Is there hope ? Without hope, there is nothing to think, but with hope, there is everything to think about, and try to achieve. Governments are the biggest power able to converge, and take actions. It's fortunate that new US president Joe Biden has decided to reinstate USA into the Paris climate agreement Question 6 : Can Elon Musk do something about it ? Probably, when looking at his biography and all innovative companies in which he has been involved, no doubt, he loves challenges, and his last announcement is just one more. His mediatic exposition, credibility are extremely high. Altruism is one of the key character to define him, he wants to change the world his way. We wish him all the best !

Changes on VPS backups

Hello,

We are going to switch to a 7 day incremental backup mode to gain efficiency and optimize disk performance overnight, and the request will have to be made by ticket if there is a need for a restore on a specific day.

Only a backup made on Sunday will be available from the Virtualizor management panel

Greetings,
