Best Practices

Managing a server is not easy. Here are some best practices you should try to adhere to while managing your Hestia server.

Use a regular user

Before adding any web or mail domain on your server, you should create a regular user. To do this, you can refer to our User Management Guide.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for the admin user

Since the admin user has full control on the server, as well as elevated privileges, it is greatly recommended that you enable 2FA on this account. To do this, you can refer to our Account Management.
