Server security having SSH access.

Dedicated Server with SSH access can create problems for your server can it can be hacked easily thus as owner of your server you need to protect it from intruders accessing your server. You can follow following steps for securing your server having SSH access.
Its always better and recommended to bind sshd to a single IP which should be different from your serve main IP address and should be on different port then 22.
Just follow below steps for securing your SSH server.

SSH into your server using root as your login. You need to use following command at command prompt : pico -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config
You need to find following section
#Port 22
#Protocol 2, 1
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
Uncomment and change #Port 22 to look like Port 3999 (You can choose any 4 to 5 digit port number as per your choice (49151 is the highest port number)
Uncomment and change #Protocol 2, 1 to Protocol 2
Uncomment and change #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 to ListenAddress 198.32.78.112 (You need to use any one of your own IP that has been assigned to your server)

For some reason if you want to disable direct ROOT login you need to follow following instructions :
Find following code :
#PermitRootLogin yes and uncomment it and make it look like PermitRootLogin no
You need to save this using Ctrl O and then exit using Ctrl X.
Now its time to restart SSH. You can restart SSH using following command at command prompt type: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
You need to exit SSH and need to relogin to SSH with new IP and using new port.

Cheap hosting or excellent support ?

When we talk about webhosting services we have few host with excellent support and some are just cheap host with poor support. It all depends what you as a client/webmaster looking to get from your website hosting provider. If you are tight at your budget you may be choosing cheap hosting service provider but you may have to compromise on service and level of support you would be getting from such host, but if you are in serious business then you should choose your host after doing your homework. Getting reviews for your preferred host at few web hosting forums will help you to decide.
I have asked few webmaster about their opinion on cheap hosting or excellent support, all most all of them have flagged for excellent support rather then cheap hosting service provider. If you are looking for hosting personal website which is not mission critical then you can opt for cheap hosting package which does not require much technical support issues or you have low budget for your web business then you can opt for cheap hosting package.
If you are running successful webbusiness then you should look for reliable webhosting service provider rather then cheap host who are very far for your support issues. Excellent technical support is most vital for success of your business, you should also look for what type of support do your hosting service provider offers you, such as Live support via live chat, emails, phone support. Do they charge extra for support issues, is the support 24×7x365 ? what is minimum technical resolution time. Free technical support is most important when something goes wrong for your website or you need to edit/update your website. You should always try to get hosting where you don’t have to manage your hosting account your self. You should look for managed hostin g services thus you are free to concentrate on your business rather then managing your hosting account, you just need to contact your webhosting service provider for all your technical issues and they will sort them out for your hosting account.

excellent support Cheap hosting or excellent support ?
Usually webmaster who are new to webhosting world looks for cheap hosting packages but those who have established their webbusiness always prefer to have good, reliable webhost who is available round the clock for your technical support issues.
Usually webmaster wants to have quality support but for low cost, we should know basic
fundamental of every business “ What you pay is what you get “ thus if you are paying peanuts you will get poor service and support. It all depends on you webmaster if you need excellent service and support by paying a bit more or want to compromise with poor support for cheap hosting packages.
Almost all webhost try to offer excellent support for their clients as customer satisfaction
is vital for any webhosting business to grow. Satisfied customers of any webhost will work for them as catalyst and will promote their webhost. You can consider webhosting industry as most targeted and over saturated market thus its very difficult for any webhosting service provider to sustain in this hosting industry.
