Web Hosting Security Best Practices
The State of Security
If you’ve been online recently, you may have read the news about hackers demanding a ransom from Dublin’s tram system. Visitors to the Luas website were greeted by the hackers’ message threatening to publish the stolen information unless they were paid one Bitcoin (approximately 3,300 Euros or US $3,800). While the message itself appeared to be harmless, the fact is that the hackers could just as easily have used the domain to spread malware or phishing attempts.
Events like this highlight the importance of web hosting security. Whether you own a personal passion project website or you’re the web host of several businesses with varying sizes, security should be at the top of your checklist. With proper web hosting security, you won’t only be protecting yourself but, more importantly, your clients, customers and visitors, as well.
In this article, I’ll run down some of the best practices for web hosting that you should know. You can also use the points I provided to ask the right questions if you’re looking for web hosting services.
