Post How to Secure Your Dedicated Server

Getting a dedicated server is one of the best steps you will make for running your own site but it shouldn’t be the only step you take. One of the best things about dedicated servers is that they allow customers to take control of their site and this means that modifications can be made to ensure that everything runs exactly as you like.

Most people know that firewalls are important for keeping their home computer safe but they can also assist in keeping a dedicated server secure as well. Installing a firewall is not a 100% solution to your problems but it should reduce the risk of malicious attacks and will provide a greater level of security for your information.

Switches are also a great addition when trying to keep a dedicated server secure as they are able to filter, limit and prevent DDoS attacks and will also keep you informed of the presence of any DDoS attacks. Again, prevention should always be considered better than the cure and switches are a great way of improving your dedicate servers level of security, which is crucial in the current climate.

The best way to properly secure a dedicated server from DDOS attack is to fight with it as close as possible to the source before it floods the customers internet connection and website, and it can be done through the proxy shield. However this service is expensive but effective.
