Do not download Joomla templates and extensions from a fake or fraud site

Though I completely understand what it is like to be a business person with limited funds, it is just not a good idea to download premium extensions, plugins or any items for free from local pages.

You might often find this download corrupted or infected with malware. If your downloaded file is infected then, a hacker can access your site’s backend directly. Then instead of saving money, you will be spending money on recovering your site.

So, it is not wise to use any premium extension or plugins for free.

Select your web host carefully.

Good hosting not only costs money but also gives you some extra security and features. That is not provided by cheap hosting sites. Sometimes due to the server configuration of the host, the security of your site might be compromised.

So, it is very much necessary to choose hosting site carefully.

Conclusion:
By following this step, you drop your chances of being hacked. It can take a bit of your time to work through these steps, but if you review Joomla security forums, you can find many stories of people wasted days struggling with hacked websites.
