Hello,

I have to move VPS on a hosting company that uses only OpenVZ. My problem is that I have several websites that makes money based on online services, as we all want I need my scripts/sites/ to be protected also against hosting company itself.

There is any way to encrypt my files/VPS against hosting company to access it ? Or some way to check when and what ip access my folders, if any copy has been made,etc ?

Thank you

thereis plenty activity in this forum Wink

there is no way you can protect your files from CT provider.
if you don't trust your provider- don't use it.

I would ask if encryption (safe) is possible with virtualization technologies (kvm,xen,vmware). given various scenarious how to gain control of virtual server while it is running and while your encypted image is mounted Wink

probably most safe sollution for you would be use bare metal HW with encrypted partitions.

if you afraid of local providers, than maybe use international provider?

I thought about using international providers too, I'am in Romania and Amsterdam servers gives me 5 seconds delay loading the sites with exact the same configurations.. So I'am stuck with local.

I have found something that seems to be a good solution using kvm www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/9910/kvm-xen-privacy .

What do you think of ?

hi,
in your link I don't see anything about kvm as more secure virtualization technology.

so I think my first reply is still valid and nothing more can be said.

I'am a newbie , so what are you saying is that hosting company can gain control of virtual server while it is running and while encypted image is mounted ?
