Server security is a big deal; it is the last back door to every website that is on a server. It is something that many hackers spend their time trying to come to terms. Server security is a big deal because without it you are putting your information and that of your customers into a place where part-time hackers can get at it.
Maintenance is required
The thing about server security is that it is not a onetime thing. It is not like a bank vault where you buy the safe and then you are covered. It is more of a maintenance thing. Is more like ice covering a pond, where you have to keep the ice frozen so that fishers cannot get at your fish.
Malware and viruses need to guard against
People think that malware and viruses are just there to cause trouble, and some of them are. Some of them exist solely to make people buy antivirus software or buy a new computer. But, most viruses, malware, etc., are there to help hackers gain access to your server. They either make holes in security or they unlock security doors for your information.
Hacking servers are big business
The best way to stay protected is to stay informed. Hacking servers are big business because there is a lot of money to be made if you are a successful hacker. If you can even get something as innocuous as an email list from a website or server, then you have a way of making money.

Choose a conscientious hosting company
You do need to choose a hosting company such as ServerPronto because they care. A hosting company that cares if its server got hacked. You need one that cares enough so that the server is not merely going to be reformatted when a virus takes hold. You need one that doesn’t let a virus past the front gate.
The cheapest host may not have the best security
It is just a cold hard fact. You wouldn’t put your money into a bank made of cardboard. It costs time, effort and money to improve and tighten security and the cheapest hosts cannot achieve this.
ServerPronto offers the best affordable and secure hosting service in all dedicated server packages.
