Secure Your Dream
How Do You Ensure the Security of Your Website?
In securing your website, consider what security your hosting is providing. Above all, the security of your website is critical to your success. As a result, you should follow these steps.
SSL Certificate
1. Install an SSL certificate for your website. The Secure Socket Layer, or SSL as its commonly called, encrypts personal information such as credit cards and passwords. Consequently, it keeps sensitive data invisible to scammers. When an SSL certificate is installed a lock is displayed beside your web address. That lock shows visitor that your website can be trusted to protect their data. Subsequently, visitors will come back to a website they trust.
Web Firewall
2. Use a web firewall for your website. A firewall protects your website by blocking malicious traffic from reaching it. As a result, your website is more secure.
Website Backups
3. Schedule backups of your website. You wouldn’t want to spend months or years working on it only to be hacked and lose all your data. However, if you have backups, you can easily restore your website. And we provide one-click restore so that you are ready for anything. To sum up, having regular backups of your website, provides peace of mind that you can recover quickly, should something happen.
Up-to-Date Software
4. Keep software up-to-date, because hackers like to exploit vulnerabilities in software. Websites with out-of-date software are the most vulnerable. Luckily for you, most software teams push security updates quickly. So by keeping the software up-to-date, you are ensuring your website’s security.
