Protecting your website and user data is a top priority at OneNetly and FreeNetly. Here are some essential tips and best practices to help secure your website and enhance privacy:
-
SSL Certificates
- Ensure that your website is protected with an SSL certificate. FreeNetly provides free SSL certificates for all hosted websites, which encrypts the connection between your site and your visitors, ensuring their data remains safe. SSL also boosts your website’s SEO ranking and builds trust with your users.
-
Enable and Configure a Firewall
- Firewalls are a critical layer of defense for your website. By enabling and configuring a firewall, you can block unauthorized access and filter out malicious traffic. You can use cPanel’s built-in tools or third-party services to set up firewalls that protect your website from cyber threats.
-
Regular Backups
- Always back up your website data regularly to prevent data loss in case of a security breach or server failure. FreeNetly offers easy-to-use backup tools via cPanel that allow you to schedule regular backups of your site, including files, databases, and email accounts. Regular backups ensure that you can quickly recover your website if needed.
-
Security Updates and Patches
- Keep your website software, plugins, and themes up to date. Outdated software is a common entry point for hackers, so always apply security updates and patches as soon as they become available. If you’re using a CMS like WordPress, FreeNetly’s hosting makes it easy to manage and automate updates.
