Security is always an issue because it comes out of care. You are always protective about things that actually matter to you or things which took a lot of efforts and precious time of yours.
When it comes to Web Hosting and in turn your website creation, safeguarding it becomes one pivot issue. For once it is hard to digest that there could be burglars in your virtual workplace, like virtual burglars. But they do exist! Not just this there are alien creatures, all ready to attack your website called viruses whenever left free.
When there are problems, there are also solutions to tackle the problems as well. There is no possible problem that does not have a possible solution. Rather than discussing and playing more emphasis on problems, we would appreciate to look at the possible measures to get rid of them.
But before knowing the solutions, it is very important to take a look and be informed about the complications for better understanding.
What are the major security threats on a website?
There are a couple of different kinds of issues that might arise in your Web Hosting Services. These include:
Hacking
Piracy
Phishing
Troubles from the server
Vulnerable Operating System
While, it can be studied at various levels, we would stick to the basics.
What can be the possible solutions to make the Web Host Services more Secure?
Often in life, you must have heard that there are some things you are gifted with and there are others that you create for yourself. You have to digest this fact that not everything is as perfect as a ‘no need to work’ policy. Until and unless you take a better dig at that, you cannot get it the way you want for yourself.
By all the above lines, we mean that as good Web Hosting Providers, one can do the best possible things to make it more secure and worthier for you. This does not mean that you are left free from the responsibilities of being the owner or executor of the website.
We will discuss with you the security measures that a good Web Hosting provider will facilitate you with and also some ‘take-care’ methods that you have to practice yourself. The combination of both the things will ultimately take all your worries regarding security issues away from you.
Security Facilities provided by a good Web Host
Hardened Operating System
A hardened operating system prevents all possible manipulation of data and minimizes the risk of security threats to your website. In the process all the unnecessary programs, software are erased to minimize the chaos on the website.
The operating system is refreshed and updated, new rules are created with policies to hold the system in a systematic manner.
A trustworthy web host will always provide you with a good hardened operating system.
Solid Infra
Whether you have a shared platform, reseller, VPS, dedicated or cloud, there is a server sometimes with you and sometimes not. Security is not just limited to piracy issues, it is also about an improper functioning of the server or the tools.
A good infrastructure always compensates for the dying quality. The use of cPanel and Plesk with a good metal material makes the process much better. A good infra is like a better shock resistant making the base stronger. In these conditions, you can expect a smooth running of website without infra accidents.
HTTPS Provision
There is a difference between http and https, if you don’t know! With https, you get an SSL certificate indicating the installation of a secure channel on your website.
Whenever you reach out to your Web Host, make sure that it is providing you with a SSL certificate for your domain.
Automatic Backup Facility
Automatic backup is like a very important pre-hacked technique which ultimately prevents your site from being hacked.
Your website should have facilities for automatic backups to add another star. It will help you with restoration of data, files and other important information in a secured manner.
Now, let’s look at some steps that you need to practice as the website owner:
Installing Security Plug-ins
Installation of security plug-ins will take you one step higher in securing your website. You can change the URL when you log onto your admin page. You can limit the number of fail-attempts for log-inns to your website which will keep hackers and unauthorized accessibility away. It also provides additional daily hardware monitoring and detection for a quick check. For wordpress you can choose bulletproof or itheme security, for joomla john defender can be installed and many more.
Updating your Website
This is one important step to keep your website all good and restored. Updating your website once in a while will help keeping viruses away.
With good provision of facilities from your trustworthy Web Host and proper routine take-care methods practiced by you, you can stop worrying about the security issues on your Web Hosting.
