Defense against hacks.

[Akshat Tripathi]

Hello all, What process or strategies you follow to keep your web hosting away from hacks?

 

[sujatha90]

If you want to keep your hosting secured, you must follow these things.

1. Use the strong passwords(Ex: ANY#@1546$%name)
2. Use the Scripts, Extensions & Themes Downloaded from Official Sources. Don't use the items downloaded from Nulled sites.
3. Avoid using outdated Scripts, Extensions & Themes

Most of the websites and servers got hacked because of these things only.
