When selecting a plan for VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, more often than not, the first concerns to cross your mind are performance, scalability, and price. But here’s what a lot of people miss — security is paramount, especially when using cPanel for managing your hosting environment. 

No matter if you own an eCommerce shop, host client sites, or design a Forex trading kit, the security of your data and digital assets must be prioritised. So, how do you select the VPS hosting package that emphasises security and offers root access?

What to Look For in a Virtual Private Server Hosting Plan

1. Dedicated Resources and Isolation

These are key features to look for in a VPS hosting plan. One of the primary benefits of choosing a VPS over shared hosting is the isolation of resources on your dedicated server. Not all VPS are created equal, however. Check if your provider uses virtualisation tech which provides better isolation between virtual machines. This also reduces the chances of another compromised user’s attack affecting your dedicated server. With NVMe storage, your VPS can achieve faster data access and improved load times.

2. DDoS Protection

Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS attacks can bring your website down within a few seconds. SSD technology can significantly enhance the performance of your VPS. A VPS comes with in-house DDoS protection that absorbs and mitigates such attacks, ensuring uptime and reliability. Search for hosts that provide automatic traffic monitoring and mitigation — particularly if your site processes sensitive information or online transactions.

3. Tactical Security

A decent VPS host will provide a configurable firewall as part of the package. Better yet, they provide Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), which help to identify suspicious patterns and defend against malicious activity in real time.

4. Secure Data Centers  

Security isn’t just digital. It’s essential to have a secure data centre for protecting your data on a physical server.  Many VPS providers offer multiple layers of virtualisation or abstraction of hardware resources. Secure Data Centers are equipped with advanced AMD processors to ensure optimal performance and security. Tools and methods for PaaS Solutions will have data centres that are kept 24 hours and 7 days a week in full-time observation and have biometric access controls, redundant power systems, and high bandwidth capabilities.

5. Backup Automation and Snapshots Options

Disasters happen. So, you require snapshot functionality and automated, periodic backups. This helps you revert to a stable version of your VPS in case something goes wrong — whether you get hacked, an update fails, or something gets accidentally deleted.

6. SSL Certificates and Secure Connectivity

Does the provider issue free SSL certificates for your domains? For example, secure access via public-key authentication rather than passwords? These little details highly matter in terms of protecting against man-in-the-middle attacks and brute-force inroads.

7. OS-Level Security Patching

This ensures that your VPS server remains secure and up to date. If managed, ask how often the hosting provider updates and patches the operating system and server software, especially for Linux environments. Hackers have a field day with unpatched servers. For unmanaged VPS, be sure to have access and tools to achieve this on your own promptly.

8. Authentication Code via Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) For Account Access

Your hosting account is a portal in itself. 2FA is important as it protects against unauthorised access to your configuration and billing settings within your customer control panel and VPS dashboard.

9. 24/7 Monitoring and Support

Select a host that offers 24/7 server monitoring and reactive support for your VPS server. If the worst happens (a breach or a vulnerability), you want a team that can respond quickly and assist you in fixing the problem — 24/7.

VPS hosting is a powerful solution, but it’s only as powerful as its security. Don’t get carried away by price only.  If you do shop around, use this checklist, and ask potential providers the tough questions.
