You may have back up facilities as part of your\u00a0 hosting package but it is worth noting that any backup provided by a web hosting company is typically only useful in the event of server failure, not a hacked site. In addition, many web hosting companies will take no responsibility for your site at all, whether it is lost as a result of hacking or server failure. If you would like more information about our off site back-up services please do get in touch.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>TIP 3: LIMIT ACCESS TO SELECTED IP ADDRESSES<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nTo further protect your website it is also possible to lock down your CMS further by only allowing access from certain IP addresses. This option will prevent you from updating your website from any IP address other than the fixed one(s) i.e. via mobile but will provide a greater level of protection. If you would like to discuss this option further please do call us on 01428 722990.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>GET IN TOUCH<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIn short, there are steps you can take to ensure your website is as protected as possible and if you would like to explore any of these, we are here to help. Please call Zo\u00eb on 01428 722990 or email zoe@mzuridesign.co.uk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steps to protect yourself against cyber
