Hosting security is important when you lose all your data if your site is attacked. Your time and money could be lost if your site is not backed up regularly by a secure host.
The goal of secure hosting is to protect a website and its visitors from cyber attacks. The most basic function of a secure host is to provide security for its physical servers. Additionally, it will protect against DDoS attacks.
You can secure a web server by:
a) Setting permissions and privileges.
b) Keeping patches up to date.
c) Installing firewall.
d) Automate backups.
e) Remove unnecessary services.
Do you all that web hosts utilise a variety of programmes and tools to provide a range of services, some of these programmes and tools may contain flaws that may be exploited.
