I previously have had trouble with hackers hacking into servers I was using for web hosting. Does anyone know any good tutorials to prevent it, or perhaps give me some tips on how to increase security? I'm colocating a server soon, so I don't want the same thing happening again. Thanks for the help! :)

EDIT: Or would it be best to hire a professional to secure the server?

  • Definitively hire a professional. – mailq Sep 24 '11 at 16:45
  • Yeah. Thought that would be best, as I don't know much about security so a tutorial wouldn't help really and would be far too risky. Do you know any decent sites that provide security services? :) – Joey Morani Sep 24 '11 at 16:53
  • In Japan, Singapore or the Bermudas? An expert has to be near to you. So that you can phone him in an emergency and he will be there in a few hours. I can recommend http://heinlein-support.de/ but maybe they are too far away from you. – mailq Sep 24 '11 at 16:55
  • Yeah. I'm in the UK. No worries I'll ask around and do some searches for a good company. Thanks for the help mailq! :) – Joey Morani Sep 24 '11 at 16:59
  • See http://security.stackexchange.com for learning more about security. Also, there are a few consultants from the UK there that would be able to help outside of SO. – Jeff Ferland Sep 24 '11 at 21:22

I'll just leave this here, in case someone finds this post and would like to get a start on server security: nsa guides for sever setup. I would start with the linux server config guide.
