Securing my new server
Hi,
I just got my server from theplanet last month. I dont know a lot about server security. Can someone tell me how do I check for DDOS attacks? I'm taking a new client whose site was just attacked. So he is moving to my server. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

You can always outsource your server management to a company. Though it might cost some money, at least it will ensure that your server and clients are safe from DDOS and other kind of attacks.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
The best solution for me at this point, I think would be to outsource.

I'm sure you could find someone who could do it for you for not that much money, as you said.
Good luck!
