In our DirectAdmin tutorial series, we explain how you start using a VPS with DirectAdmin. This not only includes hosting your website and email but also how you can safely set up and update your VPS.
In this article we'll show how to set up the security of a DirectAdmin VPS.
Our pre-installed version of DirectAdmin comes with CentOS as the underlying operating system. By default, CentOS 7 makes use of older versions of software (though with recent security updates) because it prefers stability over new features.
Before you can use your domain within DirectAdmin, your domain has to be linked to your VPS. To do this, you refer your domain to your VPS in your DNS settings and configure your domain in DirectAdmin.
In this chapter, we show you how to upload your website to your VPS. To upload your site, you can use FTPS or the DirectAdmin File Manager. We prefer FTPS since the DirectAdmin File Manager does not offer an easy option to upload files in bulk.
This tutorial covers the aspects of using e-mail in DirectAdmin (reverse DNS, creating an email address, SSL, webmail, etc).
