Short say: In the never-ending quest for the perfect web host, most people will tend to prioritize one thing over another. This is natural, since all of us have different means and areas of focus. I’m under no illusion that what I’ve discussed here will influence everyone to prioritize security in a web host but at the very least I hope the points I have raised will help increase awareness.

Having dealt with technology in some form or other intimately for over 28years, I have seen trends come and go. Security isn’t a trend, it’s a real necessity and as a website owner, your responsibility is not just to your own site, but the security of your website visitors as well.
