Understanding traffic: included, extra and overage on V-Servers and root servers

Short version: On V-Servers and root servers, traffic is not “unlimited until something happens”. You get an included allowance, you can add extra TB – and anything above that is billed. Current prices live in checkout and the customer area, not locked into the GTC. Here is th…

Short version: On 8 September 2026 Microsoft shipped the largest Patch Tuesday so far – about 974 CVEs, including two actively exploited zero-days and several critical bugs in Remote Desktop (RDP). If you run a Windows V-Server or root server, update today and reboot. Not “som…

Minecraft after the holidays: view-distance 32 kills the server, not the player count

Quick reality check: On Monday the clans come back. Not ten people one after another — twenty at once, Discord open, view-distance on 32 because “you can see further”. The server that held 20 TPS at 03:00 in the holidays with four players sits at 8 TPS at 18:00. Not because to…

Shop detects German and English — DE | EN still overrides

Quick reality check: The shop no longer waits for a click. On the first visit it reads the browser language: German → German, otherwise English. DE | EN stays top right if that guess is wrong. When you are logged in, the language in customer settings wins.

Discord bot + game server on the same VPS: when it works, when the bot kills the wipe

Quick reality check: A ticket bot and a Paper server with twelve friends on the same VPS is often fine. That same bot plus Lavalink plus Rust on a force wipe is not. Linux will not kill the bot first. Linux kills the process that wants the most RAM in that minute — and during…

Rust force wipe 3 September: Power Trip eats RAM, SetFlag dies with it

Quick reality check: The next PC force wipe is Thursday, 3 September 2026, 19:00 UK time. Official servers reset the map. Most community servers follow. On top of that sits what August already changed: Power Trip — island-wide power grid, Heavy Fuses, Satellite Crash — and for…

WordPress 7.1 took sites down — not a CVE, a plugin crash

Quick reality check: WordPress 7.1 “Mary Lou” shipped on 19 August 2026. This is not a security drop like 7.0.4. It is a feature release — and on a chunk of VPS sites the only thing left was “There has been a critical error on this website”. Not because core is broken. Because…

Update FiveM before 15 October: Kortz Heist and why old FXServer builds die

Quick reality check: Since 20 August 2026, FXServer 35245 is the recommended FiveM build. It ships GTA Online: The Kortz Center Heist — and a cut-off that kills old dedicated servers on 15 October. If you do not swap the artifact, you get an empty player list. Not “maybe”. Cfx…

WordPress CVE-2026-65640: Why 7.0.4 is not an optional update

Quick reality check: WordPress 7.0.4 shipped on 12 August 2026 — not a feature release, a security fix. CVE-2026-65640 (GHSA-8vr3-7mxf-gx8w) is remote code execution through a file upload. The prerequisites are an Author or higher account plus Imagick and Ghostscript on the se…

Hytale Update 6 on 27 August: What server admins must do before the patch

Quick reality check: Hytale Update 6 lands on 27 August 2026. Mod browser, Hardcore, bigger builder tools — and a protocol bump that cuts off old dedicated servers. Hypixel warned modders and operators on purpose. If you update the client on patch day and leave the server on l…

WARDOGS beta this weekend: 100 players will kill a slot server

Quick reality check: WARDOGS closed beta starts Friday — 100 players, three teams, one control zone. 800,000+ wishlists. This is not another 8-slot survival box. It is an FPS where one match is the size of a busy CS2 community night, plus vehicles, destruction and voice across…

Ollama Exposed on the Network: Why Port 11434 Became an Attack Surface in 2026

Quick reality check: “Local AI” sounds like privacy. In practice, tens of thousands of VPS instances just hang port 11434 on the internet — with no login. Then Ollama is not a private model. It is a public API. Bleeding Llama (CVE-2026-7482) made that brutally obvious in May 2…

Linux 7.2 Is Out: What Hosters and VPS Customers Actually Get

Quick reality check: Linux 7.2 went stable on 16 August 2026. Desktop blogs will talk HDMI and laptops. Hosting should talk about something else: the scheduler finally understands modern Ryzen and EPYC chiplets, KVM gets stricter, and Landlock can constrain UDP — the layer gam…

Why Game Servers Get DDoSed More Often Than Shops in 2026

Quick reality check: A DDoS against an online shop often just makes the site “slow”. Against a game server it makes the match unplayable. In 2026 that is not vibes — it is what communities deal with every week. Shops sit behind HTTP, CDNs and WAFs. Minecraft, CS2, Rust, FiveM…

VPS vs. Root Server: Which One Do You Need?

You're faced with choosing a server for your project and wondering: VPS or Root Server? At first glance, both solutions look similar – KVM-virtualized, NVMe SSDs, dedicated IPv4/IPv6, snapshots, and backups. But the decisive difference lies deeper and determines how your proje…

Nitrado, G Portal & Co. sell you player slots. At NexoraHost, you get real hardware power – for game servers that truly perform. Switch now!

Providers like Nitrado or G Portal sell game servers based on slots – a theoretical player count. A "50-slot Minecraft server" sounds great, but says nothing about actual performance. Once mods, large chunks, or many entities load, performance crashes.
