Anyone who is doing business over the internet needs to have secure web hosting. There are many
security threats, and anytime you´re dealing with customer data you need to be sure it´s safe from prying eyes. This is especially true if you´re using a shared host, where multiple websites are hosted on a single server.
If you´re considering shared hosting for your business website, check with your hosting company to find out what kind of security they use on their systems. You want to be 100% sure that your website is not accessible by any of the other people hosted on that same server.
You should also find out about the host´s policies regarding scripts and software installed on the server. If unproven code is allowed, it can lead to problems if someone else on the server is running a program that is poorly written. 5 Steps To Ensuring Your Website Is Secure
