Go to security center and do the following things:

Panel scripts are generally not the best bet if you want to secure a site though (to state the blindingly obvious). Getting used to the bashline is the best snigle thing you can do when it comes security imo, then securing SSH (port movement, filtering and access rules etc).
I mean, how many times have we seen exploits for panel scripts in the last 6 months? The roundcube/DirectAdmin being just one example.
But if your unfamiliar with the command line then tippie's tips are defiantly something to take under advisement.
Safe mode is annoying if you want to install a scipt disable it while doing so or you'll meet a whole range of errors.
You can disable safe mod for that particular siteOriginally Posted by Luke
Actually i do reccomend safe mode now it gets annoying because u have to work out the tweaks but after it it is very good

To be honest ever since the release of php5 safemode is a load of crap, And is going to be removed when they roll out php6 Safe mode is easily by passable the safest way to secure a server is to disable certain functions.
