My basic VPS Guide [16.]- a small Wrap up

This might seem like the end of the ‘Basic VPS guide’ series,  but you do not have to worry.This article only means the end of the “basic” series and a little more advanced series will start right after this one finishes The last couple of days have been full of work for me and that’s the explanation why I could not write as much as I would like to.

Main goals…

The main goal of this VPS basic guide was to teach you at least the basics. But not only to teach you what commands to type to the console, but to teach you THINK. This is much more important than knowing all the commands. When you are able to think you will come to the right solution sooner or later, but if you only know the commands and do not know how to think than you will not come to it at all I gave you some useful command and I know there could be even more, but I only included the basic ones and added some links to get more help, commands and clues

What did we learn in our VPS guide?

In this basic VPS guide we have learnt:

• how to initially set up our VPS server
• that there are more than one operating system available and we should choose the one we like more for our VPS server
• how to add users, software and update our system
• how to secure our VPS server [iptables, rkhunter, clamav etc.]
• how to test the security of our VPS server [open ports, software we are running  etc.]
• where to look for help on our system [log files]
• and we’ve learnt some more useful commands on our way as well

This has been a long journey, but it’s only the beginning and I will cover a more advanced topics in the coming weeks. It may seem like we have covered everything possible, but I would like to give you a little more insight into servers running on Linux. Maybe some of the stuff will be more useful for real dedicated servers, but at least you will fell like you have been given something more
