Hello everyone,
I recently set up a VPS on ElitesHost, and I’m looking to secure it as much as possible before deploying any applications. I'm somewhat familiar with basic server security practices, but I want to ensure I've covered all essential steps for maximum protection.
Could anyone share a recommended checklist or best practices for securing a new VPS? Specifically, I'm interested in tips for setting up firewalls, managing SSH access, and any tools or configurations that might help prevent unauthorized access or DDoS attacks. Additionally, any advice on keeping software up-to-date or securing databases would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance for your insights and recommendations!
Best Regards:
