    Hi there

    I am using a open source application for my shopping cart. I've just gone through a bad experience with my web hosting company. My eCommerce site disappeared and was no where to be found. I got onto my hosting company, and was feed with excuses of someone hacking into my site (maybe or maybe not). Now I've only been with them for less than a year (justhost), and all of a sudden my Cpanel wasn't the same as usual, and the worse case, the language was in Arabic?? It's very long story.

    Am I suppose set up any security wall for my eCommerce site? Please advise me, if there is anything else for running a eCommerce site.

    Many thanks in advance
    CHEERS :)

    you need a SSL protect your admin, and also need set permission for files like 644, if you running business with eCommerce store, share hosting not a good idea, try VDS, VPS ...
