When I see posts about people getting their server hacked I often wonder if they know about server security. As the last post states, if you don't know then get professional help.

You don't say if it is a *nix or Windows box and what OS and apps will be installed. You will most certainly need to put it behind a firewall.

A server can be very vulnerable if not locked down to the outside world. Weak passwords are the first thing a hacker will go for, and I refer mainly to parts of the server above the web site root and not vB forum user passwords.
