Server & VDS

Practical guides for Cloud VDS and Linux servers: first setup, SSH access, VPN, resource monitoring, backups and basic system administration. Back up your current configuration before running the commands and keep one SSH session open while you change access settings.

On a VDS the server is yours to run: operating system updates, the firewall, users and backups are your responsibility. That freedom is powerful, but a freshly installed server left open to the internet starts receiving brute-force attempts within minutes. The articles in this section are written to secure the server you have just received and make day-to-day management easier.

Start on day one with the new Cloud VDS setup and security checklist, then follow secure SSH access to turn off password logins and switch to key-based authentication. For safe connections from outside the office see VPN solutions for business and the VPN server setup checklist.

Fiberserver VDS plans come with the FiberVM panel: start and stop the server, open the VNC console, take snapshots and reinstall the operating system from one place. See the Türkiye VDS, France VDS and Northern Cyprus VDS plans.
