Windows VPS server manages the whole operating data of a website and stores a lot of sensitive and important data. These data should be stored securely and the administrator of the window needs to be managed properly to avoid abuse used by others.

The first step is to set up a strong password for the admin account of the windows VPS server. Anyone can access the windows VPS by using this admin account, so a simple password increases the chance of the account hack by others. To produce a strong password, the password needs to be longer than 10 characters including the random combination of capital letters, small letters, numbers and symbols.

Window virtual hosting required the use of a remote desktop, and this feature runs on a default port. A brute force attack can be launched on it easily as the public port is known. By changing the default port, the port number is not visible to the public anymore as it is set privately.

The third step is to install antivirus software in the windows VPS. Before downloading files, the files will be scanned by the antivirus software in advance to prevent any malware from accidentally being stored in the server.

As windows VPS server hosting is a window-based operating system for hosting, enabling windows firewall is another step to increase the security. Windows firewall is able to filter files download from the internet and avoid attacks by malicious software.

The fifth step is to update windows operating system frequently to get the newest version of windows. Window update help to prevent security hole by enhancing the code to fix error and bug. Enable an automatic window update is a good practice to maintain security level.
