Many people have yet to grasp just how important it is that you create backups of your site. This can and often does help WordPress site owners avoid the mind-numbing pain of having your site disappear. Let's look at a few ways to prevent this doomsday scenario!
I back my blogs frequently using a plugin WP DB Backup up. I can restore my website to the settings if anything happens. I use WP Security Scan plugin that is free to scan my blog frequently and WordPress Firewall to block asks to fix hacked wordpress.
Use strong passwords - Do your best to use a password, alpha-numeric, with upper and lower case and special characters. Easy to remember passwords are easy to guess!
First in line is creating a smarter password for your account. Passwords must be made with special characters and numbers. You can combine them and create small plus altered letters. Smarter passwords can be your gateway to zero hackers. Make passwords that are difficult that you can consider.
As I (our untrue Joe the Hacker) know, people have way too many usernames and passwords to remember. You have got Twitter, Facebook, your online banking, LinkedIn, two blog logins, FTP, internet hosting, etc. accounts that all come with logins and passwords you will need to over at this website remember.
There are always going to be risks being online (or even just being alive!) And it's easy to get caught up in the fear. When we get caught up in the fear, we often put the breaks on. This isn't a fantastic response. Simply take some common sense precautions, then forge ahead. If something does happen, it will have to be dealt with then and no amount of quaking in your boots before-hand will have helped. All is good, if nothing does and you have not made yourself sick.
