1. Make use of strong passwords
You must always make sure that you are using strong passwords for your server. It should be a combination of alphabets, numbers, alphanumeric characters with a combination of upper and lower case. For example : Qdndj@IT1397#
If you use such passwords then your server will be at a least risk of getting hacked.

Firewall protects your Windows VPS from all odds of unwanted access. Firewall also controls traffic on your server and also the number of users as defined by you.
3. You must always lock your Remote Desktop Ports
