- Web server: Nginx (or OpenLiteSpeed) with PHP-FPM on a current PHP version.
- Database: MariaDB or MySQL on the same VPS for small sites.
- Cache: Redis object cache plus a page cache plugin.
- HTTPS: a free Let's Encrypt certificate with automatic renewal.
- Images: serve WebP and put static files behind a CDN if you have global visitors.
Security basics on a self-managed VPS
The VPS is self-managed: HeavenCloud runs the hardware, network and DDoS protection, and you manage the operating system. Keep it safe with SSH keys, a firewall that only opens ports 22, 80 and 443, automatic security updates, and off-server backups of files and the database.
