The Hidden Dangers of "Cheap" Hosting
In the quest to save a few shillings, many Kenyan entrepreneurs opt for basement-tier web hosting. Unfortunately, this often leads to a compromise in security that can cost thousands in the long run. From DDoS attacks targeting local IP ranges to sophisticated phishing schemes, the threats are real and evolving.
The Essential Security Checklist
- SSL is Mandatory: If your site isn't HTTPS, you're losing trust and SEO rank.
- Daily Backups: Data loss is a matter of "when," not "if."
- WAF (Web Application Firewall): Filter out malicious traffic before it reaches your server.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Protect your admin panel from brute-force attempts.
