ServerBear benchmarking -> Minstall -> Start working on whatever you planned to use it for, but stop halfway -> Idle.

Change root password, install half of the things that I was planning on using it for, forget about the VPS and not touch it again.

Slow but sure
check memory, harddisk to make sure fit with what advertised.


free -m; df -h
securing (a bit) /tmp

update and upgrade


apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
check .ssh/authorized_keys :) yes always

check user on vps

then install software that I need.

For KVM, Xen, dedis, etc:


curl http://xx.xx.xx.xx/setup.sh|bash
or for OVZ:


curl http://xx.xx.xx.xx/setup-vz.sh|bash
I know, not too helpful.

Actually, IIRC BuyVM has that file for the root user, at least on the OpenVZ templates. It might be blank, though.

We are debating adding the ability to preinstall a customer supplied keychain when they do an installation.  OVH does that on their servers, it's kind of a neat feature.

1. Change SSH port, disable password auth, add my key (and any other needed keys)

2. Update w/ package manage

3. Disk IO test, Net IO test, CPU test

4. Setup strict iptables rules, block any un-needed traffic

5. Use VM as normal
