Question

Thanks for the responses,

Quote:
When a VPS Hosting is first created it is basically a blank install that is just waiting to be customized. Certain security settings are already in place (depending on the control panel) but usually our VPS Hosting Team can make additional tweaks to make sure your VPS Hosting is properly secured
I am considering a linux VPS Hosting with cPanel as that is what I am currently used to as purely an end user.

These are basically making sure software running on them is up to date, the firewall is correctly configured and everything like that.
Is the firewall a function of the VPS Hosting install or do I have to install my own firewall ?

I'm sorry if these are basic questions but the move to a VPS Hosting is going to be a sharp learning curve.
