0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

VPSDime is a specialized VPS hosting provider founded in 2013, offering affordable and high-performance virtual private servers primarily targeting developers, startups, small businesses, and tech enthusiasts. The company emphasizes direct ownership of hardware and network infrastructure, automation, and lean operations to deliver cost-effective VPS solutions with transparent pricing and strong customer support. Their market position is that of a trusted, value-driven VPS provider with a loyal customer base exceeding 60,000 businesses. Technically, VPSDime employs a custom-built platform with virtualization technologies including Virtuozzo, KVM/QEMU, and Hyper-V, supported by a proprietary control panel. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies such as Google Analytics and Owl Carousel. Hosting DNS is managed via AWS nameservers, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is fast with good SEO and accessibility practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and several recommended security headers. There is no published formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, though incident response contact via abuse email is provided. Privacy compliance is adequate with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but no cookie consent mechanism is detected. Overall, VPSDime presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and formal security disclosures. Privacy practices are good but would benefit from explicit cookie consent. The risk level is moderate with no critical issues detected.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

VPSDime operates in the competitive VPS hosting market with a focus on affordable, high-quality VPS services. Their direct ownership of hardware and network infrastructure provides a competitive advantage in performance and cost control. The business model centers on self-managed VPS with transparent monthly billing and no contracts, appealing to technically proficient users. Revenue streams include various VPS plans (Linux, Windows, Premium, Storage) and add-ons like additional IPs and backups. The company leverages word-of-mouth marketing and maintains an active affiliate program offering 10% recurring commissions. Growth indicators include a long domain history, extensive product catalog, and positive customer testimonials. The company maintains a presence on major social media platforms but does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies. Strategic observations suggest VPSDime prioritizes operational efficiency and customer satisfaction over aggressive marketing or managed services.

Security posture

VPSDime demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. The use of HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. The company provides an abuse contact email and addresses incident response in their FAQ, indicating some readiness for security incidents. There is no evidence of a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could hinder transparency and trust. Data protection practices align with GDPR, and customer data is reportedly only accessed with consent or legal order. The ticket-based support model staffed by experienced technicians suggests a security-conscious culture. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, implementing recommended security controls and formal policies would enhance their security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and customer trust.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom platform with a modern tech stack including Virtuozzo, KVM/QEMU, Hyper-V virtualization, and a proprietary control panel. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and well-structured with clear navigation. Hosting DNS is managed via AWS nameservers, indicating reliable infrastructure. The product catalog is extensive and well-documented with structured data for SEO. However, the absence of common security headers and DNSSEC indicates some technical debt in security hardening. There is no indication of a common CMS, suggesting a bespoke solution which may require dedicated maintenance. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
