You're freaking ADORRRRRABLE! I so love you guys! Been doing business with you since 2005 and I never looked back. You rock. Thank you so much for all you do for us ID10-Ts: You care about our success and it shows. I highly recommend Hostgator to anyone who'll read this or hear me rave about them out loud in my neighbourhood.

So using all this info I can make my website %100 safe for users?

[@hostgatorUS]

Hi, there are many aspects of website security and you can read more about it in our knowledgebase. Click the link in the description of the video to find out more.

Can php websites also be secured with sitelock just as html css sites?

[@hostgatorUS]

Yes! Sitelock requires access to your files in order to scan for threats and malicious code. Their scans and removal tools work regardless of how the website is built.

Any chance you could create a new serious channel that doesn't waste so much time? I realize there are a lot of people that value their time at a dollar an hour (or even less!) ... I'm just not one of them. :-)

[@hostgatorUS]

Hey John! Duly noted, we honestly appreciate the feedback.

[@hostgatorUS]

PS: Send us a direct message if you have any more feedback for this series. Was any of the info helpful and what would you like to learn more about? We'd love to hear it.

dont be a party pooper. You could have just watched a different video instead of taking the time to respond with that. that's time management

[@jsebean]

Enable 2FA.

[@cjoshy]

With Shell attack, 2FA is Nothing

[@jsebean]

@@cjoshy Ok? Two factor is still important overall. If you have an insecure server or scripts, of course that's an attack vector, so keep your shit patched!

[@cjoshy]

@@jsebean Lmao, Just because of enabled 2FA Dont think your website's A$s is Safe.

[@jsebean]

​@@cjoshy I've been at this for decades man, both development and system administration, I'm well aware of security constraints. I don't need a security lesson from you. The suggestion I made to enable 2FA is just one I felt the video overlooked, as it's immensely important in improving security of applications. No single security practice is all you need to remain secure, but your hell bent criticism is ill informed and absurd, especially with something as shallow as "with shell attack", whatever you mean by that. You're pulling shit out of a hat. Of course, even a password could be useless if I can do a SQL injection on your site and dump the database. Oh look, I can pull potential exploits out of my ass too, but they seem off topic for the video. As I said, keep your shit patched. If you don't understand, perhaps using something like HostGator's shared hosting, or other managed hosting options is perfect for your use case. Then you don't need to worry as much about things like the sudo exploit we saw recently, as they manage everything for you. I'm not arguing with you over pedantics, neither the video nor my comment is an all inclusive security primer. Perhaps you should stay in school and learn that if you're interested. I'm not really interested in further indulging you on a necro of a months old comment anyway. Get some help.
