Free Ubuntu VPS setup, hardening and configuration! Mostly for beginners, for your non-production, playground vps. I am an amateur enthusiast, with very little, but perhaps just enough knowledge to offer you the following basic installation/configuration of the following for free: Overall aim: a simple, secure vps with some basic LAMP server functionality and more, with low memory usage. Point your domain name(s) to your vps. Set up hostname and reverse DNS, and some basic DNS records. Firewall: basic but secure iptables firewall, opening only the ports we agree on. Web sever: Cherokee (similar to nginx or lighttpd, with much less memory footprint than Apache, with a great configuration interface). http and https free https certificate accepted by most common browsers If you have more than one domain, we can create virtual webservers for them (one vps serves them, but they will seem as different webservers) MYSQL client and server. PHP Secure FTP: vsftpd (can try other ones). Secure mail server: Incoming and outgoing mail handled with postfix and dovecot. Secure pop3 and imap server. Webmail: Squirrelmail, but might try other ones. On secure, https port. NTP for correct system time. Simple Drupal (or Acquia) and/or Wordpress installation, both with clean URLs enabled. You agree: No guarantee at all for anything. You will not have any legal or non legal claim to anything, in relation to this work. I like setting up VPS servers, so I do not intend to, but I might be forced to delay completion or even abandon the work. You might lose data. You back up any data you do not allow to lose. You accept that Ubuntu server is installed on your VPS. (I might change my mind on this later on.) Slow execution time. I am a single father, and have my normal day job, and love to spend a lot of my freetime with my son. I prefer... XEN VPS, but will happily try any other a clean, new VPS, but this is not a condition Greetings, Vpsfan
