Employ Secure Web Hosting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5245 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ibrahim-rifath-sICgZpL1os0-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"secure web hosting\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like other websites, <\/span><b>WordPress<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> sites are all hosted on a web server. Unfortunately, not all hosting companies secure their hosting platforms; making it simple got hackers to infiltrate your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to research and choose the best WordPress hosting provider that will block the most common attacks and keep your site safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Use Strong Passwords<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that as many as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/securityboulevard.com\/2020\/04\/8-scary-statistics-about-the-password-reuse-problem\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">65% of people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reuse passwords across various accounts, if not all. This is despite the fact that 91% of people understand the risks associated with using the same password over and over again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dataprot.net\/statistics\/password-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23 million account holders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> use the password \u201c123456\u201d as their password.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5247\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/morning-brew-MlHWaQBmZfU-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Safe and strong passwords\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stealing passwords is the oldest trick in the book for cybercriminals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s crucial to <a href=\"https:\/\/nordpass.com\/blog\/view-edit-delete-saved-passwords-chrome\/\">use strong and unique passwords<\/a> as they are the key to your <\/span><b>WordPress<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> site. Failure to do so could give hackers access to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your <\/span><b>WordPress admin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FTP accounts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web hosting admin account<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MySQL database for your <\/span><b>WordPress site<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email accounts used for <\/span><b>WordPress hosting<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or admin account<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, easy-to-remember passwords such as your pet\u2019s name or your partner\u2019s birthday are often easy to crack. Not to mention, this type of information is readily available on most people\u2019s social media accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a password generator that will create original and powerful passwords combining letters, numbers, and symbols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also strongly recommend you use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-techsupport.com\/2fa-wordpress-plugins\/?fbclid=IwAR3TqGwLivm9G4aULPT-XSPlBYeJUaRzgCkUKqm4lbGRB99mFAWgXthOg94\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress two-factor authentication plugins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to bring your security up a notch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Keep WordPress Updated<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By not updating your <\/span><b>WordPress website,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you are intentionally allowing it to be vulnerable. With every update comes a new set of bug fixes that will secure your site against the latest threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you fear that your <\/span><b>WordPress site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will break when updated, you can simply back it up. Even if something doesn\u2019t work, you will be able to go back to the previous version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Mask Your WordPress Version Number<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest security blunders that not many <\/span><b>WordPress users<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are aware of is the fact that anyone is able to view your <\/span><b>WordPress version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> number just by checking out your sites\u2019 source code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that your version number is an incredibly useful piece of information for cybercriminals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as a hacker gets their hands on your <\/span><b>WordPress source code<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they can adapt their attack to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully there are various security plugins that you can use, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/better-wp-security\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iThemes Security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sucuri-scanner\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sucuri Security,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to hide your site\u2019s version number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also the option to go around this problem manually. You can modify your functions.php file so that your <\/span><b>WordPress version<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> number doesn\u2019t come up in places such as your RSS feed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Stop Using Admin as your <\/span><b>WordPress Username<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common knowledge for everyone the default name for your <\/span><b>WordPress username<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and we highly suggest changing it. Attackers are well aware of this, and it will almost always be their first attempt at breaking into your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Don\u2019t use Nulled Themes and Plugins<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Downloading nulled plugins or themes from unreliable sources is incredibly dangerous. It can compromise your site\u2019s security as well as lead to cyber criminals getting their hands on your sensitive information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want to pay for your themes and plugins, there are always free options you can choose from. Granted, they might not be as effective as the paid versions, but they do work, and ultimately will keep your site safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Limit Your Login Attempts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybercrime has drastically evolved throughout the years. The truth is, there is no need to sit in front of a computer screen for hours at a time anymore to initiate an attack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, hackers initiate digital attacks by designing bots that use sophisticated programs to inject malware and infiltrate your systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using bots, hackers are able to continuously attempt to log in to your account and gain access to your sensitive information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, there are <\/span><b>security plugins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to choose from that limit your login attempts. This means when the limit is exceeded, it will block any efforts from any shady IP addresses from using your login page for a certain amount of time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Change Your WordPress Site from \u201cHTTP\u201d to \u201cHTTPS\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many online users are now aware that they should be using \u201cHTTPS\u201d sites, and you don\u2019t want to lose potential clients as well as their security by using an \u201cHTTP\u201d site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create a secure online experience for your target audience, you will want to switch to an \u201cHTTPS\u201d site as soon as possible. This will set you back around $2-$20 per year, and some hosting companies might even give you an SSL certificate free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Hide Your Username from Your WordPress URL<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular way for hackers to gain access to your <\/span><b>WordPress account<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to find out your username from the author archive in your <\/span><b>WordPress URL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not have noticed this, but <\/span><b>WordPress<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> displays your username by default in the URL of your URL. For example, if your username is MaryBlogz, your author archive URL might look something like this:\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/yoursite.com\/author\/maryblogz\"><b>http:\/\/yoursite.com\/author\/maryblogz<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, this is not an ideal situation for the same reasons as having admin for your username isn\u2019t smart in terms of <\/span><b>WordPress security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Remove any Possible Backdoors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybercriminals will typically add backdoors to your server if they manage to hack your site. Backdoors are malicious scripts that allow hackers to gain access to your device instantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that sometimes these backdoors are located in a completely different directory from your <\/span><b>WordPress site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means you will need to scan your entire web root directory tree in order to uncover them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should be able to find the full path for your webroot located on your hosting panel. It is typically named something like \u201cpublic-html\u201d or \u201cweb data.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that some hosting companies offer a simple scanning process. In fact, they can sometimes provide a tool that can scan your directories straight from the admin panel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11. Back-up Your Website<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5243 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/markus-winkler-gLdJnQFcIXE-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Website back-up\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Backup your website frequently, so that you won\u2019t bother much about data loss or your website being hacked.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/website-backup\/\">website backup<\/a> equals saving all data and files related to your website (themes and plugins included). A back-up allows you to revert to the previously saved version.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Word<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, securing your WordPress site is a mammoth task, but it is one that needs to be done. Remember that your WordPress site\u2019s security is only as strong as its weakest link.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can a <\/span><b>hacked WordPress site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> result in business revenue losses, but it can also cause irrevocable damage to your company\u2019s reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking into account any or all of these steps will significantly influence how secure your WordPress site is. Remember to use strong and unique passwords, backup your <\/span><b>WordPress site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> regularly, and use two-factor authentication to ensure greater protection. \u00a0It&#8217;s also helpful to use a VPN to <a href=\"https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/what-is-a-vpn\/\">add security to your workflow<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take charge and make the necessary changes to secure your <\/span><b>WordPress site<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> today, or let our friends from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-techsupport.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WP Tech Support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improve your site <\/span><b>security.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world\u2019s most popular website builder powering 35% of the internet in 2020,\u00a0 WordPress can face security issues and is vulnerable to hacking attempts.
