Help about VPS

[Mr.ShariQ]

Hello guys, I am going to buy a VPS from a friend but someone told me that everything can be seen by the host. example: Websites, passwords etc.

Is it true? also someone told me to encrypt it, anybody know how to do it exactly?

suggestions are appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Of-course, the host would be able to see anything on the VPS. However, most hosts encrypt passwords to make them more secure, so you shouldn't have to worry about that, but if you still do worry about it, you can just simply use a different password for anything related to it.

Hosts have to encrypt? what if they don't do that? I am worried. lol

what do you mean by "simply use different password" ?

Thanks Made

What do you mean by host?

The website host?

or the person that bought the vps?

The person who Hosted the VPS. The Seller.
