To further enhance the security and privacy of your website and data, here are a few more advanced strategies you can implement on FreeNetly:
-
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Add an extra layer of security to your OneNetly and FreeNetly accounts by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). This requires not only your password but also a second authentication step (such as a code sent to your phone) to access your account. Enabling 2FA helps prevent unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
-
Strong Password Policies
- Ensure that you and your users use strong, unique passwords for all accounts related to your website. Passwords should be at least 12 characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, regularly update your passwords and avoid reusing them across multiple platforms.
-
Monitor Website Activity and Logs
- Regularly review your website’s activity logs to monitor any suspicious behavior. cPanel provides access to error logs and visitor logs, allowing you to track abnormal activity, such as repeated failed login attempts, unauthorized access, or high traffic spikes that may indicate a DDoS attack. By monitoring your logs, you can quickly respond to potential security threats.
-
Secure File Permissions
- Configure your file permissions correctly to prevent unauthorized users from accessing or modifying critical files on your website. Limit access to sensitive files by setting appropriate permissions for directories and files through cPanel’s File Manager, ensuring only authorized users can read or write them.
-
Database Security
- Secure your databases by using strong, unique credentials for your MySQL databases. Consider limiting access to your database by allowing only specific IP addresses to connect, and always make regular backups of your database in case of data loss or corruption.
By following these advanced security practices, you can further safeguard your website and its data, ensuring a safe environment for your users.
