1. Connect to your Linux VPS
This may sound simple, but you must connect to your Virtual Private Server (VPS) before you can do anything else. Depending on the operating system you choose, you may log into your VPS in a variety of ways. Since Linux VPS is under Linux operating system, so we are going to log in with Linux Operating System.
2. Update your server
After we have connected to our Linux VPS, we need to do the next step which is updating your server. You can use the command like the following to update the Ubuntu on Linux VPS. This command will help you to update your system’s package to the latest version of it.
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

If you are a beginner you may refer to some experts to help you to manage and secure your server. There are a few ways to secure your server such as using SSH keys, strong passwords, and so on. Besides, setting up a firewall can help you being avoided by suspicious people.
