Overview of this book

"A great book for getting the most out of your cPanel-supporting web host" If you have web hosting requirements beyond the most basic, you should look for a host that offers cPanel. cPanel gives you tight control over every aspect of your web site, email accounts, and domain names. But once you've got a web site with cPanel support, how do you go about using it? While the documentation included with cPanel may provide a quick reference, to really get the most from it you need a more detailed, systematic tutorial. Read this book to find out exactly how to get the most from cPanel in all aspects of your web site management: web, email, FTP, security, domains, back ups, and more.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned why even the smallest website could be a big target for hackers. You also learned to help protect yourself by creating secure passwords, keeping your web scripts updated, maintaining regular backups, and watching for suspicious activity. If the worst happens and your site is hacked, you’ve learned that you need to contact your web host immediately, and what sort of information you need to provide them when you do. Once your site is back under your control you know how to restore and verify the data in your account and what steps to take to prevent this from ever happening again.

In the next chapter, we will explore many popular themes and add‑ons for cPanel.
