Hello,

Managing your VPS depends on various factors, from what you're going to do with it and how often you plan on changing it.

If you've realized that you need to carry out some server management, it's usually one of three reasons.

You should set up your new server correctly by ensuring firewalls and antivirus is in place and that unnecessary features are turned off. This will help secure your server and set you up for ongoing success.

Updating your software is essential. This ensures that you're protected from vulnerabilities and bugs, improving your site's overall performance.

Installing new software like a CMS on your server may require trial and error, as you'll need to ensure the software is operating correctly.

Many Hosting providers offer Managed VPS services. You can go with managed VPS plans if VPS is new or you.

With managed VPS services, there's no need to worry about complicated installations. When you log in, the control panel is already set up for you. The services are also set up automatically for your convenience.
