How to Create a Safe Website (5 Steps)


Create strong passwords for you website's back end, sometimes called the administration page. This is very important because if a cyber criminal can get access to the back end, then he can pretty much do anything he wants, since anything can be done to your site from its back end. Strong passwords include both upper and lowercase letters and numbers and are at least eight characters long. Many website administrators follow a stricter policy when securing their sites' back ends; they make their passwords at least fifteen characters.
Create strong passwords for any FTP, file transfer protocol, accounts that have access to your web server. Follow the same guidelines as you would for you site's back end, but you must also make sure that, if you have given FTP accounts to others, that they do not make simpler passwords for their own convenience.
Update your server operating system regularly. If you are leasing server space from a web hosting provider, then you will not have to worry about this, since your hosting provider will take care of it for you. However, if you are maintaining your own server, then you should check for security updates at least once every two weeks; consult your operating system's documentation for details.
Follow good security practices on all computers that you use FTP to your server from or log into the back end from. No matter how strong your passwords are, a key logger is going to compromise your site's security. This includes having a strong anti-malware suite, including a firewall, and keeping it up to date. Popular anti-malware suites include McAfee, Norton and Vipre.
Trust your users. If you start receiving feedback complaining that there seem to be random glitches on your site or that it is loading slowly or that your site is sending out a lot of spam, then there is a chance that your site has come under attack. Listening to these warnings can save you a lot of time and trouble.

How to Change Hosting Services Without Losing Email Information


Start a new account with the web hosting service of your choice, but do not close your account with your current host. Otherwise, you risk permanently losing your website and email information.
Make a note of every email account hosted on your website. Write down each email address–and password if you want to keep them the same–or type them in a file and save the file. Keep this information private so that no one can access your email accounts without your permission.
Back up your website. Access the backup tool on your user panel with your current hosting service and select the options necessary to do a complete site backup, rather than any kind of partial backup. Save the resulting file on your computer.
Access the backup tool on your user panel with your new hosting service. Select the option to upload a complete site backup. Find your site backup, upload it and select the option to complete the backup upload process.
Create all the same email accounts you have on your current server on your new server. Use the passwords you saved in step 1 if you wish to keep them the same, or make up new passwords if you prefer. Be sure to use passwords that you will remember but that would be difficult for someone else to guess.
Close your account with your current hosting service.

How to Buy Space on a Server


Learn what you should expect to pay. Different websites have different needs. High-volume sites such as Facebook require tens of millions of dollars each year to function, and a successful e-commerce site might pay $5,000 annually. In contrast, the server needs of a typical website are so relatively small that $100 or less per year is reasonable and common. To discover more about reasonable server costs for your website in particular, call or email business owners operating in an industry or market similar to yours and ask how much they pay.
Determine necessary features. Even the most basic web hosting packages offer a large collection of features, but not all may provide the features specifically required by your website. Do you need a Linux or Windows operating system? What about core functions, such as the ability to host domains and sub-domains, email and FTP accounts, and relational databases? In terms of programming needs, do you require CGI, PHP, Perl, Ruby on Rails, Python or JSP? How about the ability to simply create guestbooks, forums, chatrooms, password-protected directories or email forms? If you expect to sell products online, shopping cart software and secure server technology must also be considered. Create a spreadsheet and list all of the features that your web server must provide.
Read customer reviews. Setting up space on a web server is quick and simple, but changing to another is time-consuming and often difficult. Avoid this possibility by reading reviews provided by current and former customers on sites such as webhostingreviews.com. These sites provide real-world insight into a hosting provider's up-time and reliability, server and connection speed, technical support and knowledge, customer service, billing practices, and their overall ability to deliver value.
Buy server space. Purchasing your web server space is the easiest part of the process. Visit your selected provider's website, find the plan you wish to buy and begin your order. After providing the name of your website, you will be asked to provide your contact information and payment details. In most cases you can also select your payment term: monthly, yearly, or multi-yearly (Many hosting providers offer discounts for services paid in advance). After submitting payment, you will receive a confirmation email from your provider. Your server space will generally be available for use within an hour after purchase.
