You also have to use LiteSpeed service for better server performance and uptime of your VPS.
I use pandas armed with bamboo.....
If you turn off your server, hackers will not be able to access it.
On a serious note, it looks like you're not too familiar so if you are planning to host client accounts then hire an admin. Ask them to do an initial server harding and optimisation.
i don't know 😁
Firewall + Disable Root, its all I can think of as of now.
Rest is your script's security.
About SSH -22 Port, I would suggest you to restrict / close that port to only your IP with iptables
If you have dynamic IP, even more ranges you can do that also simply by adding /16 on the end, of course 1 static IP is best. Can't get Static IP at least not for free from your ISP?
I set password to "12345" and waiting for someone to lock my server. Enjoy.
Your vanilla, updated system is "secure" by default. Inexperienced sysadmins seem to forget that.
We then could talk about hardening specific services, but that is very specific and ample, not many generalizations can be made.
And then have your server suspended, no refund.
Yeah, this happening time to time, I don't understand why
I changed my password to Password, open all ports, and wait for another person to manage it for me, so that even I couldn't login ,
Free managed dedicated, noice!
The problem is that you don't choose your sysadmin: you will likely be lucky and find somebody taking good care of your server, but in some cases you can end up with an asshole doing nasty shit with it.
Maybe try using a longer password? I use 1234567890 and never had any VPS suspended. Sometimes bandwidth consumption is a bit too high for my taste, but what can I say? Those people secure my server for free, I'm not gonna complain!
Bamboo of course. Makes it nice and strong....

Are you American by any chance?
Unplug the internet
I just figured ..
There is feature on internet called "Google"

Did someone mention Hetzner?
/etc/host.deny
/etc/host.allow
ipset whitelist
To be honest you can't. More apps installed, more issues you will have also more security holes. Turn off all ports, as much as you can. Make sure that running services are alone on this node. Yandex has course about the security on YouTube. With many toolkits and basic principles. Because security tools always change with a time, but principles stay the same.
That question would make more sense if he said 9", not mm.
