This is my favorite way to secure a VPS in 2026.
To get your own long term VPS instance then visit https://hostinger.com/dreamsofcode and make sure to use the coupon DREAMSOFCODE when checking out.
2026 has been an interesting year... to say the least, especially when it comes to cybersecurity.
Not only have we've seen many different supply chain attacks, but we've also seen a number of cloud platforms get breached as well.
Therefore I decided it would be a good time to revisit my security posture, and share how I like to now secure my VPS instances.
