Hacking is a big problem these days on the internet. It’s really important to make sure your cPanel account is super secure. It needs protection from both people trying to get in manually and those using computers to try and break in automatically.
Keeping our clients safe is super important to us. Our servers have a strong wall of protection called a firewall, and we’ve set up other safety measures too. But, some parts of keeping your cPanel safe are up to you, not just us. In this article, we’re going to give you some helpful tips to make your cPanel account even safer.
How to Create Strong Username & Passwords for Better Account Security
You can use any special program for password generation as well as an in-built cPanel password generator. It can be found in cPanel >> Password & Security.
In the digital world, having a strong username and password is like having a strong lock on your front door. It keeps your online accounts safe from bad guys. Here’s how to make a powerful password:
Remember, your password is your digital bodyguard. Treat it well!
Use complex passwords that combine letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or names.
Additionally, it makes sense to change passwords for your email accounts. This can be done in the cPanel >> Email Accounts menu.
Why Keeping Your Software Updated is Super Important
Imagine your computer is like a castle with lots of rooms. If some doors are broken, burglars can sneak in. That’s why software updates are like fixing those doors. Here’s why you should update:
Remember, updating is like locking your castle’s doors – it keeps the bad guys out!
Keep your software, including content management systems (CMS) and plugins, up to date. Vulnerabilities in outdated software can be exploited by hackers.
Imagine having a detective who checks every nook and cranny of your online space. That’s what scanning your web space does for your website. Here’s why it’s important:
Just like a watchful detective, scanning keeps your web space secure!
Using different methods to scan your web space is like having different tools to make sure your online home is clean and safe. One way to do this is by using the built-in cPanel Virus Scanner, which looks for anything harmful in your hosting account. This is your digital detective that helps maintain a safe and tidy web space. When done, you can learn how to read the scanned report here.
Also, you can use some free online scanners such as this one:

It is better to combine these two ways of checking your account for viruses. In order to prevent viruses and malware on your account, it is recommended that you use themes and plugins only from trusted providers. In case you have any doubts regarding your account security, please feel free to contact our Support Team at any moment.
Staying Safe with Firewall Protection
Imagine a security guard who checks everyone at the entrance to a party. That’s what a firewall does for your computer. Here’s why it’s awesome:
Just like a security guard at a party, a firewall keeps your computer’s “party” safe!
Enable a firewall to filter incoming traffic and block malicious attempts to access your account.
Why Using Secure Connections (HTTPS) Matters
Think of your information as secret messages. With HTTPS, your messages are locked in a special box only you and the receiver can open. Here’s why it’s important:
Remember, HTTPS is like a secret code for your messages. Only the right people can understand it!
Use secure protocols like HTTPS to encrypt data transmission between your site and users.
The Importance of Limiting Access to Your Account
Imagine your online account is a special club with a VIP list. Only people on the list can enter. Here’s why controlling access matters:
Think of your account like your personal club – you’re the bouncer and decide who gets in!
Grant access only to trusted individuals and revoke access for those who no longer need it.
Even if we already set up automatic backups every week on our servers, it’s a good idea for you to also keep a backup of your account somewhere safe on your computer or another outside server. Remember to update it sometimes so you don’t lose important stuff.
You can create a full cPanel backup in cPanel >> Backup.
Regular Backups: Your Digital Safety Net
Picture your website as a sandcastle on the beach. Backups are like taking a photo of it, just in case the tide washes it away. Here’s why backups are lifesavers:
Backups are like your site’s safety net – they catch you if things go wrong!
Regularly back up your website data and files so you can quickly restore your site in case of a breach.
PLEASE NOTE: If your account gets bigger than 25GB or contains more than 200 000 inodes, it will be automatically excluded from weekly backups.
Boosting Security with the Power of Security Plugins
Imagine having extra guards to protect your house. Security plugins are like those guards for your website. Here’s how they make your online world safer:
Think of security plugins as your website’s personal bodyguards – they keep a watchful eye and defend it from any sneaky attacks!
Utilize security plugins that offer additional layers of protection for your website.
The Extra Protection of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Imagine your account is a treasure chest. With 2FA, you need two keys to open it – your password and a special code. Here’s why it’s super secure:
With 2FA, your account turns into a fortress, guarded by two keys – just for you!
Enable 2FA for your account, adding an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step.
Why Monitoring Account Activity is a Smart Move
Think of your account like a bank. You’d check your bank statement, right? It’s the same with your online account. Here’s why watching activity matters:
Remember, watching your account is like being your own detective – you catch anything fishy!
Keep an eye on your account’s activity for any unauthorized actions or unusual behavior.
Spreading Knowledge: Educating Users for Better Security
Imagine you have a secret recipe that makes your cookies awesome. Sharing it with your friends helps them bake yummy cookies too. Here’s why educating matters:
Remember, sharing is caring – when you share security tips, everyone benefits!
Educate anyone with access to your account about security best practices to minimize risks.
