How to configure fast and secure apache web server

[Young Master]

Hello AITPro Admin, I have bought a new server with Intel Xeon E3-1220 v2 processor @3.1 Ghz and 8 GB RAM and I’m planning to install and configure Apache web server on it. Will you please recommend me a tutorial which will help me install, configure and secure fast Apache web server on Cent OS.

hmm I can do some Google searches, but you could do that yourself.  I do not have any documentation anywhere for doing this so I guess the search terms you would Google would be:  apache server security checklist, apache web server security configuration, apache web server security tutorial…

I have searched around the web for apache server security tutorial/configuration but I couldnt find any latest apache server security configurations. Is any other way you can do to help me?

We do not offer server installation or configuration services so I think you should try posting on forums where they focus on server installations and configurations.  Someone on one of those forums may post links to the information you are looking for.

To configure a fast and secure Apache web server on your VPS cheap, start by optimizing your Apache configuration file for performance and security. Consider enabling caching, implementing HTTPS with SSL/TLS certificates, and configuring firewall rules to restrict access. Additionally, regularly update your server software and monitor logs for suspicious activity.
