Quick answer
Secure a VPS by updating packages, using SSH keys, disabling password login, configuring a firewall and monitoring logs.
What to check before ordering
- Expected traffic and workload size.
- Audience location and latency requirements.
- CPU, RAM, disk and bandwidth requirements.
- Protection needs, especially for public apps and game servers.
- How much support you want during migration or setup.
Rootium recommendation
For simple websites, start with cPanel hosting. For custom apps, bots or game servers, choose KVM VPS. For heavier workloads or full control, use a dedicated server.
