Protect Your Website From Threats: Part 1


Overview


1. Backup Your Website Regularly

- If you manage multiple important websites, host them with different providers. Never depend solely on your web host for backups.
- Choose two hosts that offer SSH access and set up accounts with each. Transfer site backups via FTP between the two servers. Also, keep local copies on your computer.

2. Secure Your Directories

- Ensure every essential directory contains an 'index.html' file. This prevents others from browsing your files.

3. Be Cautious with Scripts

- Avoid outdated versions of FormMail and scripts that are newly released unless you're able to check for security vulnerabilities.
- Look up potential issues using search terms like "Script Name bug" or "Script Name security."

4. Rename Downloaded Email Scripts

- Change default script names to avoid revealing their functions to spammers.

5. Avoid Obvious File Names

- Use non-descriptive names for files and directories to deter snoopers.

6. Encrypt Sensitive Information

- Never store unencrypted confidential data on your server. Remember, it's just a computer in an unknown location with potentially unknown people having access.

7. Select a Reliable Web Host

- Choose a reputable host over a low-cost reseller. Evaluate their popularity via Google PageRank, response times to inquiries, and activity on their forums. No forum? Move on.

8. Strengthen Passwords

- Use complex and diverse passwords, such as "Ch33s3And0n10n" instead of "cheeseandonion." Ensure passwords are at least 8 characters long, mixing letters, numbers, and cases. Avoid common words susceptible to brute-force attacks.

9. Minimize and Update Scripts

- Use only essential features in programs like PHPNuke, and update them regularly. My site was once hacked by a group because I hadn’t updated it. I managed to recover it thanks to a backup. Only keep necessary modules and tighten file permissions on admin sections.

10. Mind Your Words

- Be cautious about what you say regarding others or products on your site. Avoid starting 'flame wars,' as they waste time and energy.

Implement these strategies to bolster your website's security and maintain its integrity.
