Protecting your website

In many cases, protecting your website can start with your web hosting company.

In Thunder Bay Sencia offers hosting systems behind a secured firewall system. Sencia is one of the few hosting providers that provide full firewall protection for all of their clients.

One of the key things to keep in mind as well is the careful selection of your passwords. Instead of using 123456 or ‘Password’ as your password use a more secure password. There are password generators and passwords safes on the market that will help you to keep your secure password file.

Many people forget that simple passwords are very easily figured out.
