Website security is more important than ever, especially with rising cyber threats. What measures do you take to ensure your website is secure? Do you use any special tools or practices?
I'll introduce some items, and I’d like to see how closely your list matches mine.

1- Using HTTPS
2- Regular Updates
3- Strong Password Policies
4- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
5- Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems
6- Regular Backups
7- Content Security Policy (CSP)
8- Vulnerability Scanning
9- Securing File Permissions
10- Monitoring Logs and Traffic
11- Limit User Access and Roles

Some additional ones that we do:

• Password rotation (30 days)
• Firewall Log Inspection
• Admin Login Alerts (WordPress sites)
• FTP lockdown to single IP
• Database lockdown (no remote access)
• Shell Access via SSH Key only (and IP lockdown)

If a website is small, and rarely updated, then it doesn't need to be database driven - export entire site to HTML and it'll load faster anyway.

If a website is small, and rarely updated, then it doesn't need to be database driven - export entire site to HTML and it'll load faster anyway.

Conor, I'm curious - do you have some favorite tools that you use to export a site into raw HTML? We have tons of hosting companies with various PHP driven sites and there are days that I'd love to just have them export it to HTML, often times their code becomes outdated, etc.

This is indeed a complex question. We provide all the services you've mentioned and offer 24/7 support with specialists who monitor and ensure everything operates smoothly, guarding against unauthorized access. Protection from DDoS attacks is crucial because your website becomes highly vulnerable during such attacks. Some use Cloudflare, while others configure their own defense systems. It's important to understand that every action has consequences, and preventing a fatal error in your server and website's operation is vital for maintaining security and performance.
