MariaDB Server is one of the most popular database servers in the world. It’s made by the original developers of MySQL and guaranteed to stay open source. Notable users include Wikipedia, WordPress.com and Google. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL but is much faster, and more secure
MariaDB turns data into structured information in a wide array of applications, ranging from banking to websites. It is an enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL. MariaDB is used because it is fast, scalable and robust, with a rich ecosystem of storage engines, plugins and many other tools make it very versatile for a wide variety of use cases.
MariaDB is developed as open source software and as a relational database it provides an SQL interface for accessing data. The latest versions of MariaDB also include GIS and JSON features and MariaDB is fully compatible with MySQL and Joomla works very fast on a box with MariaDB.
This is a 2-step process. The first Tweak (see cPanel's docs for this part of the service). The second Tweak will be done after we have installed the CFS-Firewall and upon confiuring this software we will revisit some of the Tweaks to even more balance the system.

ConfigServe Firewall, also known as CSF, is a firewall configuration script created to provide better security for your server while giving you an easy to use, advanced interface for managing your firewall settings.
CSF configures your server’s firewall to lock down public access to services and only allow certain connections, such as logging in to FTP, checking your email, or loading your websites. ConfigServe Firewall also comes with a service called Login Failure Daemon, or LFD. LFD watches your user activity for excessive login failures which are commonly seen during brute force attacks. If a large amount of login failures are seen coming from the same IP address, that IP will immediately be temporarily blocked from all services on your server. These IP blocks will automatically expire, however they can be removed manually through the ConfigServer interface in WebHost Manager.
In addition to removing IPs, CSF also allows you to manually whitelist or blacklist IPs in your firewall, as well as real time monitoring for automatic IP blocks in LFD. This is covered in Managing Your CSF Firewall.
We will install CFS on your server if not already present (replacing any other sw firewall installed) or if already installed properly configure the system.
