VPS servers are generally secure owing to the isolation of resources and the inherent security provided by the cloud infrastructure. Each server runs independently of others thanks to a hypervisor that provides a virtualization layer for server isolation.
While rare, security vulnerabilities in the virtualization layer can pose a potential risk to the VPS servers, leading to data breaches. An attacker may, for instance, break the isolation provided by the hypervisor by exploiting a security hole in the hypervisor, potentially giving it access to the underlying host or other nearby VPS servers.
Nevertheless, VPS server security can be fortified by ensuring the host OS and hypervisor are fully patched and turning off unused ports and services. Cherry Servers offers security measures like built-in DDos protection, advanced firewall options, and backup storage options to reduce the risk of data breaches.
