Server Protection.

[Iss Meftah]

Hello members,

I'm hosting all my websites in one dedicated server. and I'm very worried about the security of the server. I'm using CloudFlare. and I'm CSF firewall as well.

I wanted to ask what I can add for extra layer of security? to keep my dedicated server up and running from hackers and attacker?

Looking forward to implement your recommendations.

if you are Using WordPress websites make sure always u update Plugins .
also if you are using other PHP script You can search in the security website if they are exploited or not, Make sure you keen Updating Every thing.
i don't know what are you using Dedicated server for to give u other recommendations.
also make sure u disable Some Linux Commands On your Server.
also disable Some PHP Functions,like exec() ,cmd(), ... etc.
i can't tell you all that info, but u have to search a little Bit about that.
Good luck Bro .

yes lot of things. beside SERVER Protection you have to make sure that Your PHP scripts are secured , cus once a bad boy upload a php file or some thing like that in one of your websites, he can move to the rest of the website USING Linux Commands easily , and he can short cut the config of other websites and things like that using Some Linux Commands like ' cat ' etc....
actually Protection is an other world
