GreaterLink Shared Hosting plans include a web application firewall and automated malware scans. These habits add even more protection.

  1. Use strong, unique passwords for cPanel, WordPress, email and your client area.
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication. See how to turn on 2FA in cPanel.
  3. Keep WordPress, themes and plugins up to date, and delete ones you don’t use.
  4. Use HTTPS everywhere. See how to force HTTPS.
  5. Keep your own backups. See how to download a backup.
  6. Be wary of emails asking you to log in. Go to cPanel or the client area directly rather than clicking links.
