Save your website from being hacked!

I would rather say : "hold back the nightmare from coming true" as a title.. anyway.. let's get to the actual thing.. If you really want to prevent this from happening, can follow some of these tips :

Select a Professional webhoster :

Pro webhosters are examined in this field. You can trust some people who know how to safeguard the server from crucial hack attacks.


Pick good passwords :

The simplest thing that a hacker would do is to crack you password and apply it against you.. So you better choose a good one. Good passwords are tend to be long, not guessable and contains various characters ( numbers, letters, special symbols...etc). This an example of a good password : "gr8@login_pass" . Hackers usually use software to guess your password. So you better make it hard for them as much as you can.


Avoid using Internet Explorer :

Hackers use "Phishing techniques" to look up your password from your browser. If you're using Internet Explorer you are increasing the risk of being hacked. I.E 6.0 was a great tragedy to webmasters. It is highly recommended for webmasters to use Firefox because it is secure and contains various web developer tools.





Do Proper Coding :
You have to be thoughtful about html and PHP forms that you use into your websites. If you are using those, PhP/MYSQL hackers could introduce codes into your database resulting in loosing all your data. Thus one must learn to code well and turn out the hacker's script introduced into forms.


Prepare your own backups :
Never depend on the webhoster to retain a backup for you since it may be hacked too. Thus one should keep their own backups and preserve them in their hard disks. So if you get hacked you just need to switch the server or password and make use of your backups and your website will survive.
