You\u2019re free to run the OS and software that best meets your needs (as long as that software doesn\u2019t violate your provider\u2019s acceptable use policies). You\u2019re free to have as many IP addresses and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vernalweb.com\/domains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">domains<\/a> as you\u2019d like. And you\u2019re free to choose the bandwidth allotment that your traffic demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Of course, along with that flexibility and power comes the duty to protect your turf. Here are a few best Practices for Dedicated Servers that will help your server remain free \u2013 and safe<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Patch, Patch, Patch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why leave the door wide open for a hacker? Keep an eye out for patches for all your software and apply them regularly and diligently. Apache web server patches are announced at http:\/\/httpd.apache.org\/security_report.html, and you can find patches and more for Microsoft\u2019s IIS at http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/WindowsServer2003\/iis\/default.mspx.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re using Windows, visit http:\/\/update.microsoft.com often to check for both critical and optional OS and software patches. Or, better yet, turn on automatic updates. Many Linux distributions also feature an automatic update feature. But, if the one you\u2019re using does not, check the distro\u2019s website. The same goes for all your applications, particularly your software firewall.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Work Within a Secure Shell<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whenever you update and maintain your website, be sure to do so using SSH\/SCP \u00a0that your login information is encrypted. Encryption is a simple, yet powerful, best practice for Dedicated Servers\u00a0that could eliminate a myriad of problems.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Practice Good Password Hygiene<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Cheekymonkey<\/em> is <strong>not<\/strong> a good password! Hackers love passwords that contain dictionary words. Make their lives a lot harder by choosing passwords that are at least six characters long, use a mixture to upper and lowercase letters, and include numbers and other allowable characters.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Close Your Ports<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll need port 80 for HTTP access and port 22 to use SSH\/SCP, and, if your site provides secure transactions for e-commerce and the like, you\u2019ll also need to open port 443. Beyond these essential gateways, however, examine your needs very carefully and close down any ports you won\u2019t need<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Inoculate Your Server Against Viruses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In today\u2019s security climate, it should go without saying, yet security researchers continue to report amazement into how often this safe computing practice is ignored. Be sure to use an antivirus program that provides frequent definition updates.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Don\u2019t Forget Physical Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With all the cyber-threats that loom, it\u2019s easy to forget that one of the easiest ways to compromise a server is to have physical access. While most data centers are reasonably secure, it pays to see if your provider\u2019s facilities are housed in reinforced structures with adequate security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Discussions of server security can \u2013 and do \u2013 fill entire books, but these tips provide a good start and will help you provide your users with a safe and secure Web environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Practices for dedicated servers In best practices for dedicated servers land, you enjoy abundant freedom.
