Server Security

How do I go about making my site much harder to hack and make it for safe? Is there ny programs I can buy and install onto the server? Any help is appreciated.

I would suggest host with a strong reliable hosting company (like theplanet) and have really long usernames and passwords that are hard to figure out.

I've had two sites hacked and one was because my password was easly guessed and the other was a open source script (phpbb) which has alot of flaws in it.

But isn't there software you can buy and install that will make it even harder for hackers to get into and so its as safe as say a site like google or yahoo?
