    How to protect your vps?

    can any good host advise me how to protect a vps? My vps first got hacked and started brute force attacks on others and after three days my whole 3tb bandwidth got eaten. What should I do to avoid compromising my vps?

    Just check with your hosting provider, Whether they are providing you the Clean service or Used one? Just setup strong credentials, Setup up firewall security. you can even go with management service where management team will handle all these kind of issues.

    I would recommend to install good firewall like CSF. Also install LFD to prevent brute force attack.

    Think that it also depends on the host you deal with. I can say that SolVPS.com is super secure ssd vps hosting provider.
    Their email SPAM controls works really good according to reviews, so you will have no headaches with Spam. Use coupon BESTVPSOFFER for 25% off for life.

    I am really impressed by their facebook page, it is very informative: facebook.com/solvps

    Well-protected VPS deals are available from hostsailor.com and hostingsource.com, their servers work with no glitches and prices are competitive. Servers are well-supported and support is online for 24 hours.

    I vote CSF as well, Its amazing how many IP's try and brute force your servers. We must block around 30-40 a day.

    Run regular virus/malware scans on your server.
    Regularly check your security logs.
    Disable Compilers.
    Use Apache 2.2 or higher (but obfuscate your version number)
    Sign on with a DDOS protection provider such as CloudFlare.
    Install rkhunter or chkrootkit. ...
    Secure WHM.
