Security Enhancement For Hosting

Get To Know Your Social Audience

These days, social media is rather fragmented. Each individual has to decide where they want to hang out, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, MySpace (it still exists), Google+ or any one of a massive list of potential online haunts. Quite often, the selection is based on where your real-life friends are hanging out, so if they are mostly on Twitter, you'll join up there to get involved in the conversation, or if they are mostly on Facebook then that is where you'll head.

In order to enhance the security of all of the websites I host, a new FTP lock will be added to all accounts in February. This enhancement will prevent attacks via FTP by shutting off FTP access by default. FTP access can be opened for a short period by "unlocking" FTP in your control panel. By default, this will open up FTP for a short time.

This will prevent unauthorised access via FTP in the event of a virus or trojan stealing FTP login information and using it to disrupt your website.
