    Hello there,
    I have purchase a WordPress theme and now I need to install it on live server. My website is a micro-jobs website. As mentioned in the WordPress forum that the recommended hosting is “BlueHost”. The questions are:

    1- Is basic hosting plan from “BlueHost” enough for my website?
    2- After uploading my website files into the server. What are the steps that I should take (one bye one please) to configure my installed WordPress theme to insure security for both:
    A- My WordPress theme configuration files as for the db and php and other files
    B- For the congratulations to be done on the server like changing the chmod for the files and folders.

    I know my question is too much as a request but please give an answer ??

    Thanks

  • 1- Is basic hosting plan from “BlueHost” enough for my website?

    I have several small sites there in one account and the servers seem quite sufficient.

    What are the steps that I should take…to insure security…

    BulletProof Security (plugin) to “harden WordPress”, then also follow its additional permissions suggestions.

    Hi leejosepho,
    Thanks for your reply. I would like to do the security measures that is done manually not using a plugin. Isn’t that possible?
    I heard that in the .htaccess and php.ini files there are changes that should be done once the website is live. is that right?

    Not to the extent BPS does that unless you are as expert as its authors. And for perspective here: I spent my first two or three months sorting through all kinds of articles, tutorials and snippets before discovering BPS had *all* of those covered along with much, much more and now I never look back after nearly three years of never since having any intrusion or hack. Also, BPS is not ever going to cause you any trouble.

    I heard that in the .htaccess and php.ini files there are changes that should be done once the website is live. is that right?

    Yes, and with the things in php.ini being more optional. But there in php.ini is where you could just do your own work at whatever pace without risking the kind of exposure you would have while spending many hours trying to get even close to what BPS does with htaccess.

    Hi again leejosepho,

    I have added the BPS plugin and watching it’s tutorial video now. You are right this is much much more than I need for now and maybe forever. I would like to thank you so much for your help. I have read so many articles and blogs about security issues and I was so much terrified.

    Thanks again .. Thanks so much ??

    BPS secures the gate and all service doors, and then, if you wish, WordFence Security does a fine job of throttling traffic and several additional things on the inside. And then to optionally stop certain malicious traffic altogether before it can ever even reach WordPress, NinjaFirewall can run its own stuff out in front of it all.
