Hi I am wondering about a different type of security when we upload our files to our host. Is it possible for the hostowner to steal our codes in our files, modify it and make a website out of our files? I do not have a server so if anyone of you who owns a web host could tell me.
Yes they can access your files and take what they want.. This is not legal or ethical and not good business practice. Most hosting providers do nothing of this sort but there are some shady people out there so just be careful, and chose a good host. We would never do anything this unethical with our clients.
