Only Network

I was reading a report as to how a large number of WordPress blogs on GoDaddy have been hacked and couldn’t help thinking how sometimes we’re just so dependant on the hosting provider we choose. We trust them to maintain proper security, especially on shared hosting accounts and make sure that baddies don’t come by and corrupt our site.

WordPress is a pretty popular target, because of the number of sites out there that run the software, but there’s a great community of people involved in building the platform and making sure it’s secure for everyone. You still need to keep a look out for your blog doing strange things however. So if your site starts redirecting to a site that gives you a security warning, or your find hidden links to some nuphedragen review, just make sure that everything is working fine. If you’re still in doubt, call a WordPress Guru.
