SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps admins securely operate and harden Hostinger VPS instances while ensuring compliance with provider ToS.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initial Setup & Hardening: Create a non-root admin, lock down SSH, configure UFW, install Fail2Ban, and set up automated updates.
  • Ongoing Maintenance: Monitor, backup, patch, and deploy WordPress securely on Hostinger.
  • Incident Response: Step-by-step procedures for malware or abuse flags, including snapshots and credential rotation.

Quick Start

Assess current VPS state, then apply a baseline hardening plan using AI guidance. Create a non-root admin user, disable password authentication, and verify SSH access before disabling existing root login. Enable a firewall and Fail2Ban, verify updates are automated, and document changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I secure a Hostinger VPS for initial setup?▼

To secure a Hostinger VPS, create a non-root admin user with sudo privileges, lock down SSH access, configure UFW, install Fail2Ban, and set up automated updates. This establishes a hardened, compliant baseline for your server operations.

What is the best way to respond to malware or abuse flags on a Hostinger VPS?▼

Do I need a root account to configure Fail2Ban and UFW on a Hostinger VPS?▼

No, you do not need direct root access. The setup requires a non-root admin account with sudo privileges to configure Fail2Ban, UFW, and disable password authentication safely during the baseline hardening process.

Why disable password authentication when hardening Hostinger VPS instances?▼

Disabling password authentication when hardening Hostinger VPS instances prevents unauthorized brute-force access. You must verify SSH key access works before disabling existing root login to maintain secure, compliant server operations.
