IX Web Hosting offers you to install many popular scripts on your web hosting account – including the blogging platform WordPress. WordPress is a great software and can be use for blogging or as a content management system. With high popularity come more risks. Worpdress has been targeted by many hackers over the years and while the software is quite secure, there is always a risk.
For one, outdated installations of WordPress can be easily hacked and second the available plugins might also be a backdoor for a hacker. I recently stumbled across this new firewall plugin for WordPress and have tested it – with great success. The plugin stopped SQL injection attacks based out of China and therefore protected my website with an additional layer (on top of using the login lockdown plugin and other security measures).
The firewall plugin is free to use and therefore should be a standard plugin for you to install on your WordPress installation at IX Web Hosting. The plugin is extremely easy to configure as you can see on the picture below. It comes almost completely pre-configured so that you do not have to do anything.
So, if you use WordPress on your IX Web Hosting account (or any other hosting account), use this plugin to protect your website (and your fellow webmasters who share the overall server with you).
