The internet has grasped the modern lifestyle in a great way. The website is an integral part of the internet and has the power to take your business to the peak of success. If you have chosen the internet as a medium to showcase your business and service, it is also important to consider the security of your website. Attackers and hackers dwell on the insecure websites and shield-less services. Let’s check the top 7 attributes that contribute to the security of your website in a great way:

1. Change to HTTPS – SSl certificates are best for encrypting and shielding the data from getting exposed. It also helps the website achieve a good ranking in the search result page of Google. Previously, the HTTPS was only used by the organizations that held confidential information. However, the concept has changed now and all the websites prefer using this to keep it secure from the hackers. The websites with HTTP had all the data stored in plain text, which made it vulnerable. But the websites with HTTPS have all the information encrypted that makes it difficult for the hackers to attack.

  1. Use complex passwords – It is one of the main criteria to make your website secure. Hackers are expert in guessing passwords, therefore, try creating a password that is full of random alphanumeric characters. This will give the hackers a tough time and they might not succeed in breaking through. To confirm the strength of your password, make sure the WordPress approves it as a strong one.
  2. Backup regularly – If your website is attacked, the regular backups will save you from losing all the precious information, which are free of malicious files. This will save the re-development cost and will also save ample time.
  3. Keep all plug-ins and software up-to-date – It is the key to keeping the website secure. The updated software makes sure it is safe from any foreign attacks.

5. Scan your website’s DNS – While making the website highly secure, you tend to neglect the security of the DNS or the Domain Name Server. The vulnerability in the hosting services might weaken the security of the website. Select the most appropriate option for your hosting service to make it secure from the hackers.

  1. Avail monitoring service for the security of the website – It is essential to establish a shield around your website and domain to make sure all the protective measures are working in a perfect order. It will not only make the website strong enough to fight the minor attacks, but will also clean the malicious codes present in the system.
  2. Go for the number of login blocking – Implement a restriction in the number of login attempts. If the hackers try to access your website with the help of trial and error method, the IP address of the hackers gets blocked immediately after 3 of 5 attempts.

Conclusion

These are the basic points that can successfully make your website safe from the malicious attacks of the hackers and attackers. This will assist in eradicating the general threats in a great way, making your website stronger and more stable.
