Why KeepSec is the Ideal Choice for a Reliable, High-Performance, and Secure Cloud Infrastructure

Introduction

As more and more businesses move to the cloud, choosing a provider that offers a robust, high-performance, and, above all, secure infrastructure is essential. At KeepSec, we believe that security is only one aspect of an optimized cloud environment. Our services are designed to provide not only enhanced security but also consistent performance, great flexibility, and transparent pricing.

This article explores the advantages that set KeepSec apart from other cloud service providers, particularly in terms of security, performance, cost management, and flexibility without vendor lock-in.

Security: Dedicated Resources and Reliable Protocols

Assigned CPUs for Enhanced Security and Performance

At KeepSec, we offer assigned CPUs for all services except VPSmini, ensuring dedicated CPU cores for each instance. Unlike environments where CPUs are shared, this approach reduces the risk of data leakage between processes and ensures consistent performance, even during high-demand periods.

Non-assigned CPUs, as found in shared environments, can compromise security by enabling side-channel attacks, where neighboring processes inadvertently access sensitive information. At KeepSec, each client receives exactly the CPU, memory, and storage they paid for, without any risk of performance drops due to overcommitment.

Securing SSH Access: Protected and Customized

For many users, the SSH protocol is essential for remote server administration. However, using the default SSH port (port 22) without access restrictions exposes your infrastructure to brute force attacks and automated scans. KeepSec recommends several secure practices:

• Restrict Access by IP Address: On our platform, it’s easy to limit SSH access to specific IP addresses, such as your home or VPN IP, ensuring that only trusted IPs can access your server.
• Use SSH Keys and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Instead of passwords, SSH keys and MFA add an essential layer of security for sensitive access.
• Change the Default SSH Port and Configure a Firewall: By using a custom port and configuring a firewall to limit SSH access to trusted IPs, you significantly reduce intrusion risks.

Performance: An Infrastructure Optimized for High Loads

1 Gbps Unmetered Bandwidth

KeepSec provides unmetered 1 Gbps bandwidth, a rare advantage among cloud service providers. This feature allows us to meet clients’ needs without bandwidth restrictions, even in the case of sudden traffic surges or unexpected demand peaks. Whether for resource-intensive applications, secure connections, or multiple users, this bandwidth guarantees uncompromised performance.

Moreover, our unmetered bandwidth protects clients from extra fees, even in cases of high traffic, DDoS attacks, or other unpredictable demand fluctuations. You can therefore manage your infrastructure without fear of additional bandwidth-related charges.

A 99.99% SLA for Maximum Availability

We understand that availability is crucial for our clients. That’s why KeepSec guarantees a 99.99% SLA, ensuring that your cloud services remain operational and available at all times. This commitment to reliability gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that their infrastructure will be there when they need it, no matter the circumstances.

Flexibility: Simple Scaling and Extension Options

Upgrade Your VPS Power with One Click (Scale-Up Only)

Flexibility is essential for rapidly growing businesses. At KeepSec, we make it easy to adjust your resources by upgrading your VPS in just one click. You can easily scale up through our four tiers to obtain additional CPU power, RAM, or storage during peak demand. Although scaling is one-directional (scale-up only), it guarantees that your environment can grow with your business without service interruption.

Freedom to Leave the Platform Without Vendor Lock-In

Unlike many providers, KeepSec does not enforce vendor lock-in. We allow our clients to export their servers in any format supported by OpenStack, such as QCOW2, RAW, or VMDK, offering complete flexibility and autonomy. If clients wish to move their environments elsewhere, they can do so without constraints, freely.

We also provide a backup and image transfer service at very affordable rates. This service can be used to request a backup of your environments or to facilitate a migration to another platform if needed. This flexibility ensures you always have full control over your data and applications, without being tied down.

Cost Management: A Transparent and Cost-Effective Model

No Overcommitment for Guaranteed Performance

At KeepSec, our clients receive exactly the resources they paid for, with no overcommitment. This means each CPU, gigabyte of RAM, and storage unit is dedicated to your server, without sharing with other users. Unlike providers who allocate more resources than they have to maximize profits, our model ensures consistent performance and complete transparency.

Avoid Hidden Bandwidth Costs

In addition to unmetered bandwidth, our pricing model is designed to eliminate unexpected costs. You can use bandwidth without limits, with no fear of additional fees during traffic peaks or attacks. For businesses, this means stable and predictable costs, even during high-demand periods.

Additional Cloud Security Best Practices

To maximize the security of your cloud infrastructure, we also recommend adopting the following practices:

• Implement Least Privilege Access Policies: Limit user permissions to the minimum required to minimize the risk of accidental or malicious access to sensitive data.
• Deploy an Intrusion Detection System (IDS): An IDS monitors suspicious activity on your servers in real time and alerts you as soon as an anomaly is detected.
• Regularly Update and Patch Systems: Keep your software and services up-to-date to close known security gaps and reduce the risk of attacks.

Conclusion

At KeepSec, our approach goes far beyond just security. We have designed our services to offer exceptional performance, flexibility, and transparent pricing. With our 99.99% SLA, assigned CPUs, 1 Gbps unmetered bandwidth, and the ability to scale up VPS resources with a single click, we are committed to providing a reliable and high-performance cloud infrastructure. Additionally, our lack of vendor lock-in ensures that you maintain full control over your environments.

Whether you are a startup or a large enterprise, KeepSec offers the benefits of a robust and secure infrastructure with predictable costs and flexibility tailored to your growing needs.
