thanks.
I think you should very much care about not getting pawned always. cause then they will do some messy stuff through your system and you can be pretty sure your provider (does not matter if it is a free one from here or you paid) will boot you off.
Manal is right. but one thing we often forget is that even when we are trying to be clever about our passwords, we usually end up using some patterns. and there are many real password dumps and databases out there that hackers can use to teach a system about this patterns and generate clever realistic passwords. that's why it is always better to use a random password generator.
i can further describe how to put the above mentioned ways into work. but then you could pretty much Google them and have much better tutorials. only thing I would like to add about those online tutorials would be, please don't follow them blindly. always give them a read first and understand the logic behind the steps. them modify the steps according to your needs and do it.
keeping a password manager helps a lot. i use some kind of free open source manager that can read my kdbx file where I save passwords. i install it on my pc. also i keep one on my mobile. it has this USB virtual keyboard extension. so you can just plug in your mobile to a computer using data cable and use that program to type the whole thing with few clicks. not one click though. you have to unlock the kdbx with your master password. haha
please use real long ones with mixed characters and symbols. I often use 30-40 characters long ones. as good as total lock down. they can bruteforce all they want. but they won't break it in a couple of lifetimes.
i don't know anything about panels. not from personal experience. cause I have none. i never use them. they only extend the attack surface and also adds another point of failure and some more load on the system. i rather try to know as much I can about Linux itself to do things manually. in ssh. it is fun.
you can always ask. even ask when you don't get something in some online tutorial. we will try our best to help each other out.

Sincere Thanks to VirMach for my VPS9. Also many thanks to Shadow Hosting and cubedata for the experiences I had with their VPSs.
