TurnKey Internet Provides Fully Managed Dedicated and Virtual Private Servers


Help Selecting Server Hardening Options

All servers on the Internet are constantly at risk from remote intruders. Software default configurations, kernel and operating system versions, as well as which applications are running by default can all leave a door open to intrusion. It's a good idea to make sure your server has all the latest versions of software you plan to use, and disable/turn off all software applications you don't need to minimize the risk of problems.

TurnKey Internet offers the low cost option to "harden" your server's security foot print, best selected at the time you order your new server. TurnKey Internet will set up your new server any way you want (including custom configurations, software applications, and initial web site configuration). TurnKey Internet will then perform:

  • Firewall Setup - TurnKey will install and configure the integrated Firewall system to protect your server from unauthorized connections, as well as hacker and denial of service attacks.


  • Operating System Upgrade - TurnKey will apply all patches, service packs, and upgrade your Linux Kernel or Microsoft Windows Server operating system to the latest stable release, closing security vulnerabilities.


  • System Hardening - TurnKey will harden your server including Noexec, Nosuid temporary directories, securing of /tmp shared directory.


  • Application Upgrades - TurnKey will upgrade all pre-installed software such as the Apache web server, mail server, and PHP/PERL system. We upgrade all your pre-installed software to the latest stable version released by your OS/software vendor.


  • Security Audit - TurnKey will ensure your server is safe and secure as well as assess its possible vulnerabilities by installing RkHunter to check for trojans, rootkits, and other security problems.


  • Remote Access Enhancements - TurnKey will modify your remote access footprint (SSH or Remote Desktop) and limit logins for your security.


  • Turn Off Insecure Services - TurnKey will deactivate all unused and insecure applications and services. In addition to removing unneeded security holes, this process will further boost speed and responsiveness of your server by saving memory and CPU resources.
