Use a secure Hosting Service

If, you are using a free or a cheap hosting provide.Hackers can make hacking attempts to your hosting server and get easily access to your administration.

If you have a attractive WordPress site and you did your best to secure your website, as used plugins , but your hosting service is not secure, so it will result in no use. They will attack your host and your site will crash,it's data would be corrupted. So, You must use a good hosting service provider.

If you are using Bluehost, there are many hacking attempts on that. Just search on google about Bluehost hacking attempts.But I am not saying that is not good. If you need a good hosting I have write a dedicated Article, you can also check it out.

Use a strong Username & Password

You should a good username and a good password.Never use the word, named "Admin" as your username.

Limit number of login attempts

You limit your login attempts to 3 times, and there must be a lockout, that after 24hrs it will reopen This you can do it by a plugin, and I will tell you its name at the end of this Article.

Change login page

We usually use " /wp-admin " and we reach or log-in page, you have to change this for security.There are many plugins.I will mention it at the end.

Don't use that login page to prevent the hacking attempts. You should change it like "/xyz" and then you will see your login page.

Don't use nulled plugins or themes

I have written a detailed Article on nulled plugins.What are its disadvantages.But Yes, It can affect the security of your site.

Update plugin or theme every 15 days

It is just because, there are some lacks, the developers update it to increase more security.So in every 15 days, you must update all your WordPress websites, Plugins and themes.

Remove inactive plugins or themes.

If you are not using any plugin or theme, they are inactive.You have to remove it as soon as possible, to prevent their hacking attempts.

User registration should be off.

If you are going on a personal or a simple blog-site, you should turn off the user registration from,you will find it in your settings , which can upgrade your safety from hacking attempts.

Take regular backups

Backups would be regular but you must have an off site backup. You should not store your backups at the same server. You must know,how to take backups and to restore them.

Many people can take backups, but they can not perform restore. I have promoted Hostinger and I have seen that, they know how to take backups, but they don't know how to restore them.You have to know to both.

I have made a training program on Hostinger, for all those who have purchased from my link For more information.

Use a Good security plugin.

As I was told to use a plugin in this Article. Now I am telling these names but If you don't have a secure hosting service,then no matter how much good plugins or security you used for your website.

The 2 plugins are:

• Wordfence Security
• Ithemes Security

I am using Ithemes security plugin , it's actually better.Wordfence Security plugin is good also. But sometimes it creates issues in some steps. So if you need to increase performance and security , so it's better to transfer to Ithemes security plugin.

Change database prefixes plugin

Usually the tables in Word press start with "WP". We must change, "WP Prefix". If we don't , a hacking technique named "SQL Injection" which can access our database

So you can change prefix and this can be done by these plugins I previously mentioned.

So I will try to make a detailed Article on plugins Where I will actually give a practical overview of this So that's all.
