Advice and information on protecting your servers, systems, and websites.
DevOps brings development and operations together to ship software faster with fewer failures. Learn the core practices, how DevOps differs from SRE and Platform Engineering, and where to start.
Learn 5 proven methods to deploy code to servers behind firewalls — from SSH reverse tunnels and VPNs to deployment agents. Includes a side-by-side comparison to help you choose the right approach.
Is FTP dead in 2026? No — but it should be your last resort. FTP is still used for legacy CMS hosting, shared hosting providers, and bulk file transfers, but SFTP and FTPS are safer alternatives for every use case. Here's where FTP still makes sense, where it doesn't, and how to modernise your deployment workflow.
One git push with a hardcoded API key can compromise your infrastructure. This guide covers .env file setup, language-specific examples, automated secret scanning with git-secrets and truffleHog, and how to deliver secrets to production safely with DeployHQ.
Deployment security with OWASP: Prevent breaches and downtime. Learn how OWASP helps mitigate risks in your software development process.
Learn how to generate SSH keys from the command line using Ed25519, ECDSA, and RSA algorithms. Step-by-step commands for creating secure key pairs for server deployments.
FTP sends data unencrypted, FTPS wraps FTP in TLS, and SFTP tunnels file transfers over SSH. This guide compares all three protocols side by side, shows exactly what attackers see when you use FTP in production, and includes a step-by-step migration path from FTP to SFTP.
DeployHQ offers many security configuration options for your account, such as enforcing two factor authentication, IP restricted access, and granular user restrictions.
Learn how to deploy to servers behind firewalls and private networks using the DeployHQ Agent, a lightweight proxy that creates a secure outbound connection to route deployment traffic.
