Best Practices for Website Security Print


Website security is essential for protecting your data, your customers, and your online presence. Here are the key practices we recommend at Aviumshost:

Essential Security Measures:

  • Install SSL Certificates — Encrypt data between users and your site.
  • Enable Firewall & Malware Scanning — Use ModSecurity and tools like ImunifyAV.
  • Update All Software Regularly — This includes CMS, themes, plugins, and scripts.
  • Use Secure FTP (SFTP) — Instead of standard FTP.
  • Backup Regularly — Use Aviumshost’s automatic backup feature or your own.

Even one overlooked weakness can lead to a breach. If you're unsure, Aviumshost can audit your account or provide security hardening advice.
