To answer you, what you wrote up there, is like saying "You have to lock your front door when you leave house". Anyone that knows anything on setting up servers knows all that (so that would bring all the techs at any hosting company). However, that is not the way security is breached, and that is not the thing hackers look for, or how they keep access to servers. All of that, and 100 other things you can go google right now on "how to secure a server" will do you jack shit on protecting the server. All it will do however is give you a false sense of security. Same as when hosting techs boast about this and that certificate they have in setting up servers.
