VPS and Reseller Operations

Operational guidance for technical teams managing custom stacks and multiple customer workloads.

VPS Hardening

A hardened VPS baseline lowers risk before exposing services publicly.

Recommended workflow

  1. Enable firewall rules and allow only required inbound ports.
  2. Use SSH keys and disable password-based root authentication.
  3. Apply OS updates and security patches before app deployment.
  4. Configure automated backups and snapshot retention policy.

Notes and best practices

  • Document every infrastructure change for incident traceability.

Reseller Structure

Reseller setups should keep client projects separated and easy to audit.

Recommended workflow

  1. Create package templates by storage, bandwidth, and domain limits.
  2. Assign one account per client to avoid cross-project risk.
  3. Define support scope and maintenance windows in client onboarding.
  4. Use separate credentials for billing and technical account actions.

Notes and best practices

  • Never use one shared admin login across all customer properties.

Capacity Management

Track resource pressure before it impacts availability.

  • Monitor sustained CPU and memory usage trends weekly.
  • Scale compute before major campaigns or migration cutovers.
  • If your stack is simple and stable, compare lower-overhead plans in Shared Hosting.
  • For managed CMS workloads, evaluate WordPress Hosting.
