Additional Settings and Best Practices
Following best practices helps you maintain the performance, security, and stability of your Impreza Host services.
This guide covers key account configurations and operational recommendations.
Account Security
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your client account.
This adds an extra layer of protection during login.

Use strong, unique passwords for all platforms — client area, email, cPanel, and VPS.
Never share your login credentials with third parties, even for troubleshooting purposes.
Log out from the client area after using public or shared devices.
Contact Information and Notifications
Keep your email address and phone number up to date to ensure you receive all system alerts, invoices, and renewal notifications.

Add @imprezahost.com to your email whitelist to prevent important messages from being flagged as spam.
Backup Strategy
- Always maintain off-site backups for critical files and databases.
- VPS and shared hosting plans include automatic backups, but user-managed redundancy is recommended.
- Store backups on a separate device or external service for extra protection.

Service Monitoring and Maintenance
- Monitor resource usage frequently (CPU, RAM, disk space, bandwidth).
- Perform regular updates on your operating system or CMS (WordPress, Joomla, etc.).
- Use monitoring tools or uptime alerts to detect outages quickly.

DNS and Email Best Practices
- Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain to improve email deliverability.
- Use Cloudflare or a similar DNS provider for faster resolution and protection against small-scale attacks.

General Recommendations
- Avoid installing unnecessary software on your VPS or hosting environment.
- Regularly review access logs for unusual activity.
- For offshore or Tor-based services, keep onion URLs confidential to prevent abuse.
- Review service terms periodically to stay compliant with Impreza Host policies.
Following these best practices helps ensure your environment remains secure, reliable, and optimized for long-term performance.
