<li>Hi, this is a basic, simple security guide for your server. You should consult a full security related site/expert/article/book about security.
<li>Make your passwords some long and unpredictable. For ex, 123456 is not a good pass for a production environment.
<li>Try to choose your linux root pass different from mysql pass.
<li>Do not disable open_basedir in your server. if you do: http://ehcp.net/?q=node/705
<li>Try to check all scripts that you install against sql injection, or xss. if your php code is vulnerable, people may steal your database or delete.
<li>do not give your passwords to anyone that you dont know.
<li>update your server, ehcp regularly: apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade for ehcp, download it and overwrite except config.php, re-login
<li>check your server for viruses or backdoors regularly,
<li>watch your logs regularly,
<li>that was a basic quide.
