Securing my hosting account was a top priority from day one, and I’ve followed a layered approach that has worked well over time. Here is what I did...
First, I enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) on my hosting dashboard to prevent unauthorized access—even if my password gets compromised. I regularly update all my login credentials and use a password manager to generate strong, unique passwords. I also ensure that all websites under my hosting account use SSL certificates and are kept up to date, especially CMS platforms like WordPress. I’ve configured file permissions properly, disabled unnecessary scripts, and removed unused plugins or themes.
On the server side, I enabled firewall protection and automated malware scans. Daily backups—both through the host and externally—give me peace of mind. One key lesson I’ve learned: never rely solely on the hosting provider; take your own precautions too. A secure hosting account is a mix of smart tools and consistent vigilance.
