* Website Hosting
All websites require hosting; it’s necessary for a website to work. Hosting is a place that stores all of your website information. When a visitor types in your website URL, e.g., www.websitename.com.au, your address points to your hosting account where your website information is stored. The website can then display in the visitor’s browser.

Website Security
Below is a list of some of the potential security risks:
Cross-site Scripting – Injection lines of Java script into web pages
Parameter Manipulation – Websites passing information from one page to the next through URL parameters, e.g., if searching on Google, your search terms will be passed to the results page through the URL which a hacker can take advantage of this fact to re-write these parameters in harmful ways.
Buffer Overflow – A buffer is a small amount of space allotted to store data. If overloaded, the extra data will overwrite data in other areas. Hackers can overfill a buffer in order to overwrite other data with their malicious code.
Denial of Service – They operate by overwhelming a site with requests for information, severely slowing the operation of a website or bringing it down entirely.
SQL Injection – Similar to Cross-site scripting but related to the database.
Use https to ensure:
- Data integrity – data can’t be modified or corrupted during transfer
- Encrypted – keep secure from eaves droppers
- Authentication – protects against man-in-the-middle attacks
On-site security factors – Brute force attacks, malware injection, hacking. Usually due to:
- Out of date WordPress installation, plugins or themes.
