When your website goes down, first check with your
hosting provider to see if they're experiencing any
downtime on their servers. If your website is going down
because of server issues, it's probably time to upgrade
to fully managed WordPress hosting.
(https://wpbuffs.com/hosting/)

If your server is up and running, you may need to reach

out to someone you can trust to assess and fix a
technical issue on your site.

But knowing you have a problem on your

website is the first step you can take towards
fixing it!

Your Website
Was Hacked
Last Night

Let's pretend your website

was attacked last night.

Really. Maybe it was.

Will the security measures

you have in place stand up
to anybody trying to gain
access to your WordPress
site?

HACKED

I know what a lot of people think.
"My website doesn't
even get much traffic.
Nobody would ever care
enough about my site to Well, that's

not entirely accurate.
In general, the less traffic a website
receives, the fewer security
measures are in place. This makes a
low or medium trafficked website
the prime target for an attack.
One of our customers

to their website. Here's
what we're protecting
them against on a daily

but you can maximize your
chances of protecting
against hackers, online spam

some basic security
measures.
