I personally use SSH Keys on my server, so in order to login you need the SSH key and a password linked to that key. As long as you secure it you'll be fine. My current Linux OS is as followed: CentOS 6.6 x64 with cPanel.

CPanel blows, it's better to manually install the LAMP stack and secure it yourself.
