Hello LET!
My name is Alessandro, but please just call me Alex.
I became Operations manager at HostAris today, and i would like your feedback on what we can better in our service

On our roadmap right now are the following steps i am coordinating as we speak:
1. Moving all of our support away from discord to WHMCS, thus installing the panel
2. Hiring more support staff, thus reducing answer time on each ticket submitted
3. Start promoting and selling dedicated servers rather than VMs
4. Buy our own hardware and collocate it in the EU and USA

I need your help, please point out anything that can be wrong with our service, give suggestions on what we can improve in the service.

This is one the few 2GB vps packages that can run Windows RDP smoothly

I recommend Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025. The 2025 version has windows 11 style look and feel, but far more stable and secure.

Testing Windows XP today just for fun and learning exercise.

dev_vps

It may be a good idea to disable the administrator account to keep Windows RDP more secured

@dev_vps , did you ever setup the firewall to allow certain ips and disable all on all services? is it possible to just accept and drop everything else?

my last attempt was with ipsec but it disabled outgoing and didn't have time to fix.

thanks for any help.

This is a good post with screenshots

@dev_vps not just the RDP but all ports.
is this still possible?

dev_vps

With administrator account disabled, it becomes extremely difficult to connect to RDP for "non-allowed" users

one simple method to keep them away.
and just use custom admin account for example "d14se78" and keep audit on for unsuccessful logins.

@dev_vps have you ever used mic in RDP sessions? As in I want my PC's mic to be accessible by the remote PC.

I've tried multiple guides, which are basically variations of https://serverspace.io/support/help/how-to-use-microphone-in-rdp-session/ but it just doesn't work.

What other tips you can share for windows hardening? I use a bare metal for personal rdp and would love to start making it more secure.

Thnx in advance

PS. If you want you can spawn a new thread.. guess there is some interest in this area.

Hey there,

I've got 2 annually paid servers from hostaris frankfurt node, which are unreachable for 7 days already.

I can't find any place to get support regarding this.

Who can help me?

If you mean dispute via PayPal, I didn't use that.
