Protecting Your Website - Making Sure Your Website is Secure

In my opinion, you will never be able to be 100% safe, and any sites claim to lie or spend thousands of pounds on security measures that are the majority of us can't. But you can ensure you are as safe as you might by applying a few security steps, and this is explained below.

Virus protection - Security starts at home, and with this I mean, make sure you run a first class security suite on your home PC and laptop. I use McAfee, but there are other people including AVG and Norton, but make sure you use a well-recommended internet security suite that if you are infected, it will help protect and fix the problem. Also download Malwarebytes and run this periodically. The latest virus program can now also repair infected web pages, meaning you can save hours by letting them fix problems if your site is infected.

FTP password - every week, change your FTP password. Yes, this is sick and you might not do it, but it can be one thing that stops your site from hacking. Some of the latest viruses stole FTP passwords from your PC and then send it to a bad world, so by changing passwords regularly, even if they steal your data, it will be another layer for you.

Security fillings - make sure your computer is patched. Many trojans and exploitation come through a system that is not patched or older. Make sure you allow Windows to update when it is necessary and only to be on the safe side, check the update once a week, even if you have it automatically.

Patch server - most of us use web hosting, but you can still ensure that your host does everything they can. Drop and email or give them a ring and ask them how often they implement patches etc. and what their security methods are. Sometimes it's worth paying a little more to make sure your host does as much as possible to protect your site and business.

Permit file server - Imagine having a nice big house with a large stone wall around the building, with 50 gates for people to enter your home. 45 from the gate is locked, but the other 5 is open, and therefore creates opportunities for someone to enter. File permission is a bit like this gate. If you let some of them open, there is a good chance someone will stop at this and get access to your website through permission that has been incorrectly set. They can be very difficult to understand, so chat with your host or guy to make sure your permission is right and above all, safe.

Google Webmaster - Make sure you have a Google Webmaster account that is linked to your website. If you are hacked, Google will send you an email to tell you this and also which pages have been hit. This is a valuable and free tool, recognized more is a drug than prevention, but as Google updates pages every hour, they can sometimes be the first to pay attention to your site having a problem.

Patch Website - If you use WordPress, always make sure you run the latest version of the main WordPress software and also increase your plugin when you are told to do it. WordPress renewed himself with new patches and regular improvements and this was the same for the plugin. Many of the latest hacking targets WordPress, and you can help avoid this if you are running the latest version and your plugin is cutting-edge.

Software fillings - we have an infected client through a PDF virus which then infects its website. They can't understand why this happens, or how it is possible. This until we explained that they were running Adobe Reader aged 3 years and continued to reject automatic updates! Always make sure you allow your software to install the latest updates, because many of the latest viruses will use any software that will try and access your PC.
