Some tips:
1. Do not run servers as root, make a seperate user for it.
2. Use CSF, it will help against brute force attacks on SSH and minor DoS protection on the side; open ports you need.
3. Use strong passwords
4. Use MariaDB, latest php, phpmyadmin, and httpd versions as well.
5. Change SSH port
