Use secure passwords for your hosting control panel. Password protect the AdminCP directory via .htaccess Password protection with .htaccess: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/3 http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/htaccess.htm http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess7.shtml http://www.webmastersguide.com/htacc...s.htm#password Make and store frequent backups of your database and files. (Store them locally AND online) See this thread on vBulletin.com: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172234 That's all I can think of right now; I am sure there are many other ways.
this is the type of information I was looking for, I am hoping for more feedback ... and more suggestions.
