@Jayce : It's Not a big deal to make a Thread. if you think. It's Nothing. But a Big Output . People Hate to search a thing at different places even on a single forum. so it's really appreciated to get all solutions in a single Thread. easy to access. easy to approach.

Not really, I disagree. It's very easy to find security tutorials either in this forums or from google, if you just google'd "disable root user :insert os here:" you'll find something like 12 billion results.

it might help us for the people that failed to can ask support to the community without going offtopic.

So glad to see more support for my suggestion. thank you all of you. and advance thanks more members who support this.

Thanks for confirming it sir @TrK and bro @sagher, I was just been confused what @YOuNeS_Dz said.

Anyway, I guess we can also ask admins to put a poll on this topic so our brothers can cast a vote.

[sagher]

Correct me if im wrong but if im not mistaken DDOS is a denial attack that makes your server down but not hack?

Yes @Vuluts : DDOS is not listed as virus but really it is a big drawback comparing a virus. because some times you don't do anything if you are a victim of DDOS. you just see how DDOS messup with your VPS. and your hands wrest back.

I shall be really thankful to you @Vuluts . for giving me a kind reply. and @YOuNeS_Dz is talking about DDos Protection. so i like to said that here we do not provide you a Protection of DDos because it is provided by sponsors.  but literally we talk about it how can you take any free service of ddos protection and also how to protect your server ports and traffic in out to initially prevent from ddos.

Cool idea I highly recommend those facts because the main problem after having a VPS is the Doss attacks done by kids, I highly recommend and support this idea!
Nice man!

I think adding an extra section like "VPS Protection" can do no harm, but can help people focusing on their discussions or sharing experiences on this particularly important topic.

So, I'd vote for yes and wish it will be added soon.

I am going to say as a provider or sponsor here there really needs to be more thorough vetting of people since I am still waiting on when that anti-abuse system is finished for me to use it on my kvm/xen nodes for this community because as it stands right now I don't trust anyone on my nodes from here without something automated running 24/7 checking like nodewatch does for openvz for kvm/xen automatically suspending vps's of people doing illegal things as the last time I thought I could trust people that backfired when someone from here decided to run a spoofed cisco dhcp server even though that is illegal on a xen pv vps when I didn't notice until later when it started affecting other people as well and since there was no automated system looking for that which would have suspended the vps preventing issues from happening instantly once it was seen by the automated anti abuse system that caused more headaches than it is and was worth and therefore until that get's done and I have the anti abuse system on the kvm/xen nodes or I find out how to mend nodewatch and openvz on another node together I cannot at this current time trust that if I was to offer kvm or xen-hvm windows vps here that something worse would not happen and cause me even more trouble than it is worth.

I don't know what else they can do. These things happens but not so often. I haven't seen any other sponsor complains so it's a random case. Free users can do these stuff and also paid users can do these stuff. I don't know why you can't find who is the culprit if it's someone from here.

There are 9 other sponsors and none of them have complained yet. Either they haven't faced anything like you said so far or they don't bother about it. I doubt it's the later one.

@xdude , @cubedata
As you wrote it sound like so mysterious. problem with only one sponsor and at the very critical ways. and no one from other sponsor is claimed like that. but ! be like a good community we have to sort out it soon.
As my history i never abuse my vps by any ways.
