Hostinger VPS _ Configuration and Security

[brittle hemlock]

Hi everyone, I need some help because I need a video, an explanation, or something else regarding Hostinger VPS security and configuration.

I performed quite a few tasks that went smoothly, but unfortunately some of them caused me to broke the server and restore the snapshot.

I have several questions related to this topic and I can pay someone who really knows their stuff.

• How to properly manage system and Docker updates ?
• What is the best way to configure daily backups ?
• How to modify the SSH configuration without crashing the server ?
• The right way to change the port ?
• UFW configuration ?
  -Fail 2 Ban configuration ?
• Etc..

Thank you in advance to the angel who will come to the rescue 🤍

Hey ksefsaf,
I’ve worked on several VPS setups (including Hostinger) where I handled Docker environments, secure SSH hardening, automated backups, and firewall configurations without breaking the server.

I can help you with:

A safe workflow for system & Docker updates
Setting up reliable daily backups
Updating SSH settings + changing the port without locking you out
Proper UFW rules and Fail2Ban protection
Clear documentation so everything stays manageable

Which part of the VPS setup would you like to sort out first?

Hi Saraphina,

First of all, I would like to know how to change the SSH settings (port, root authorization, password authorization) properly without breaking anything.
