VPN, which stands for Virtual Private Network, is a way of connecting to a remote server and accessing online content through it rather than doing it directly. In essence, the hosting server acts as a proxy, so assuming that you have a VPN client on your computer or phone and you enter the necessary login info to be able to connect to the hosting server, you could browse websites or download files which you may not be able to access at all directly. Some sites and online services, for instance, are available only in specific countries, thus if you aren't able to access them, you can use a VPN, or a server, that is situated in that country. In this way it shall appear like you're accessing the service/website from the country and you may bypass the restrictions. There are companies that offer VPNs as a separate service, but we've decided to offer the service with our web hosting packages, thus if you host your sites on our servers, you'll be able to leverage the VPN access which we provide 100 % free.

VPN Traffic in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account, for example, you will locate a Virtual private network section within the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared accounts. You will find all the info that you need there - server hostname, login details and a list of the server locations which you'll be able to use. We keep expanding the latter at all times, so with a few mouse clicks you could access any online content from any location around the globe - the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, and so forth. With this free service you are able to use an encrypted connection to access social networks which are restricted within your country or streaming services that allow access only from selected countries and your authentic location will never be disclosed as you aren't accessing anything directly. The filter that you will find in the VPN section of Hepsia shall enable you to improve your browsing speed and to limit the generated traffic by blocking any undesired content like large images and ads.
