There are many things to look at when securing a server, and sometimes also depends on the situation, etc.

| If you have a such kind of issue then always go for managed dedicated server where everything is managed by service provider and you dont have to take any headache.

2 - Make your application secure which can be accessed by internet
3 - Install a secure firewall to monitor outgoing and incoming

| What kind of OS? Linux or Windows?
Is there is control panel installed?
Need more info. Everyone is assuming you have linux and one poster is assuming you cpanel. I did not see you mention what it is you are trying to secure and that makes a lot of difference.
