VPS

Mikhail is an excellent performer! You can tell he has a wealth of experience. The work was done precisely and on time. We had to tinker due to imperfections in the project that was being installed on the server, but Mikhail carefully and thoughtfully advised what to do and how to do it. In the end, everything worked! I recommend him to anyone for whom the quality of work is important!

Getting a new VPS is just the beginning. By default, the server is insecure and not ready for production use. This checklist will help you step by step to prepare your VPS: close security holes, enable updates, and configure the basic infrastructure.

1. First login and changing the root password

Connect to the server via SSH:

ssh root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Change the temporary password to your own unique and complex one:

passwd

Working as root all the time is dangerous. Let’s create a regular user:

Swap is virtual memory on disk that saves your VPS from crashing when RAM runs out. On low-cost servers, it’s an indispensable tool to avoid failures during short-term memory usage spikes. Setup is simple: create a file, enable it, and add it to autoload. But remember — it’s insurance, not a replacement for RAM.

Introduction

Modern VPSs are usually provisioned with enough RAM but often without swap (swap file or partition). This is a deliberate choice by providers who want you to quickly upgrade to a more expensive plan.

Needed to find out why the site was periodically crashing. Mikhail conducted an audit and found the problem. A knowledgeable specialist, I really enjoy working with him. He approaches tasks responsibly, doesn’t disappear, doesn’t forget )))
