How Do You know If You Are Secure

[Geek]

What is the best way to find out if your host is secure? Is there a special test that can be run?

[alemcherry]

There is nothing like absolute security, especially on a shared server. Things you can make sure is that the server has a firewall, host doesnt offer ssh without precautions, softwares are updated and that PHP can not access files outside your sites root. from your side, you can make sure that the FTP, controlpanel, MySQL passwords are strong.

The first thing I would look at is if the host is running a firewall to secure DDOS attacks and blocks other unnecessary ports. Second, if they run a Virus Scanner to block spread of virus from FTP. Third, look at their uptime. If the uptime is bad it clearly means that the server is not stable.

Yes, we can not make sure all hosting 100% is secure ..because as long as we rent hosting and our data in other hand , it can not say secure condition.
If you want secure , you should save data in your own host.

It would be better to order a VPS.
The matter is that each VPS is separated at the operating system level and each customer runs in its own memory, CPU and disk space. This prevents your account from getting compromised.

Try using rkhunter or chkrootkit, these are good utilities to check if your hosting is secure. I believe you will need to run these as a privileged user.
