Security Practices for Hosting your own Website
Gone are the days of self-hosting your website on your server at home without extra security being implemented.
The reasons for moving to self-hosting can vary but range from hosting for data security; you own your data. To, moving to self-hosting because it is more viable and cost-effective. Whatever the reason, if you’re considering self-hosting I urge you to consider the following.
Ensure you have an adequate router
Hide your Website’s Public IP by using CloudFlare DNS.
Consider if you have enough bandwidth
Implement an Onsite and Offsite backup solution from day one
Consider keeping your mail in the cloud
Move your domain/s to a single trusted domain registrar
