Key2Host Cloud Servers

Getting started

Essential steps after provisioning a Key2Host Cloud Server.

Prepare the server

  1. Sign in using the credentials provided.
  2. Update the operating system and install security updates.
  3. Create individual user accounts and restrict privileged access.
  4. Configure firewall rules only for required services.

Set up services

Install the runtime your application needs, such as a web server, database, language runtime, or container tools. Expose services publicly only after configuration, certificates, and backups are ready.

Secure operations

  • Enable regular backups.
  • Monitor disk space, CPU, RAM, and public services.
  • Store credentials and recovery instructions securely.
