Basic hosting security depends on strong account hygiene, limited access and regular maintenance.
Key Points
- Use strong unique passwords for your client area, hosting panel, email and FTP or SSH access.
- Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible to reduce the risk of password compromise.
- Remove unused plugins, themes, scripts and old user accounts that create avoidable attack surface.
- Keep software updated and test backups regularly so recovery is possible after incidents.
- Limit who has access and review permissions when staff, freelancers or agencies change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is one strong password enough?
It helps, but layered security is better, especially with two-factor authentication.
Should I give developers my main password?
No. Create separate users or temporary credentials where possible.
Why do backups matter for security?
Backups turn a disaster into a recoverable event instead of a permanent loss.
