Although I joined the forum last month and I got one of my clients to move here from his shared hosting plan at HostGator, I just signed up for my own account here earlier this evening. My first concern is security.
I have a number of websites, but the one nearest and dearest to me is a forum, using vBulletin software and several add-ons and modifications. I want to make sure that site, and all my others, will be just as secure as they were on the shared plan.
Is the VPS a secure server environment right out of the box, or do I have to do something to assure the security of my sites? I've been using shared plans for several years and this is my first experience with a VPS, so I am unsure what to expect. I'm also a bit anxious about having to learn so much new stuff, but I have a feeling I have picked the right host and a good forum.
Thanks for any guidance,
Jim
