Dedicated Server Hosting is here to stay for long

Shared web hosting can appear to be an amazing value from a cost point of view, with feature-packed products available for just a few dollars every month. But the reality is often very different, and they’re not always the bargains they seem, Performance will be poor as there aren’t enough resources to go around, and the extra load could mean more server problems and downtime, they do not withstand the performance needed to exploit the surging businesses.

Opting for a dedicated server means that you get an entire server to yourself. There’s no sharing of CPU time, RAM, or bandwidth, which means your website stays responsive at all times.

Dedicated Server hosting implies that you also get far more control over how the server is configured. You can add and remove software, install updates, or tweak all settings, allowing you to optimize the server for your specific needs.

Best of all, dedicated server hosting contracts often come with fast and knowledgeable support. Systron Micronix will even monitor your server for issues, like failed services, and can often fix them before you’ve realized there was a problem.

This kind of power doesn’t come cheap, and although there are some good signup deals around, you can easily spend $100-$1000 a month and more on just a package that suits your needs.

With that kind of investment, it’s important to make the right choice for right dedicated server. Systron Micronix Fits on all parameters of scalability, Security, Performance and Support at a very reasonably priced cost. Systron accepts payments using all major credit cards, PayPal and BitCoin.

SSL validity change to one year only

An industry-wide requirement set by Apple and Google, stating that any two-year SSL certificate issued after August 30, 2020, will be distrusted in their browsers.

That’s right: 398 days is the maximum length for a publicly issued server cert. If it’s longer, browsers and other HTTPS code will reject the cert as invalid.

Beginning UTC 12.00 am August 19, 2020, Sectigo will only be issuing one-year (up to 398 days) SSL certificates. And Digicert is highly doing the same at the end of August. Kindly note that this only applies to public TLS certificates. Other types of certificates (e.g. Code Signing Certificates, S/MIME certificates, etc.) will be unaffected and will have the same maximum validity that they have today.

However, any two-year SSL certificate issued before 12:00 am UTC on August 19, 2020, will be valid for two-years (up to 825 days).

Therefore we recommend you renew the certificate and top your certificate validity before the deadline, save time, and trouble for you to go through the validation process next year (especially for OV&EV certificate).

Dropbox Phishing Scam : Don’t Get Fooled by Fake Shared Documents

Hackers use familiar brands like Dropbox to steal login credentials and spread malware

It’s funny how hackers, phishers, and scamsters can be blatantly obvious and inexplicably unpredictable at the same time. I’m saying obvious because they target the most widely used services/platforms and lots of users know what they’re up to — not just security professionals, but many ordinary users know about these phishing scams and what to look for. Phishers might be predictable in going after big names but it’s the unpredictability in their approaches that makes them tick. Time after time, they come up with new ways that help them achieve exactly what they want and make them “successful.” The Dropbox phishing scam is a perfect illustration of this.
