- [.com vs Country-Specific Domains: Which Should You Choose?](https://karizanta.com/blog/com-vs-country-specific-domains): A ccTLD like .de or .co.uk ties your site to one country; .com belongs to none.

- [How to Choose the Right VPS Plan for Your Website](https://karizanta.com/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-vps-plan): Choosing a VPS plan is about matching specifications to your actual workload, not picking the biggest number on a pricing grid.

- [Initial Server Setup Checklist After Buying a VPS (Ubuntu/CentOS)](https://karizanta.com/blog/initial-vps-setup-checklist-ubuntu-centos): A freshly provisioned VPS is an exposed Linux box that bots probe within minutes. This checklist walks through the first 30 minutes on a new Ubuntu or CentOS server — updates, a non-root user, SSH hardening, firewall, fail2ban, swap and automatic patching — with the exact commands for each distribution.
- [How to Secure Your VPS: Firewall, SSH Hardening, Fail2ban](https://karizanta.com/blog/how-to-secure-your-vps-firewall-ssh-fail2ban): A public VPS starts getting scanned within minutes of coming online. This guide sets up the three defences that stop almost all of it: a default-deny firewall, hardened key-only SSH, and Fail2ban — plus the difference between your provider's network firewall and the one running on the box.
- [KVM vs OpenVZ vs Proxmox: Understanding VPS Virtualization](https://karizanta.com/blog/kvm-vs-openvz-vs-proxmox-vps-virtualization): Two VPS plans can list identical specs and behave nothing alike, because the virtualization layer underneath is what really matters.
