Good hosting is only one part of keeping a website safe. These are the key areas every site owner should understand.
An SSL/TLS certificate helps encrypt information exchanged between a visitor's browser and your website. HTTPS should be enabled across the entire site, especially on forms, logins and checkout pages. Certificate type, automation and renewal arrangements are confirmed per service.
Backups provide a recovery point if files or databases are damaged or accidentally changed. Ask about backup frequency, retention, what is included and whether restoration carries a fee. Keep an independent copy of important website data as well.
Keep WordPress core, themes and plugins updated, use strong unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Remove unused extensions and review administrator access regularly.
Page speed depends on hosting resources, caching, image sizes, theme and plugin quality, database activity and visitor traffic. Optimised images and sensible plugin choices can make a meaningful difference.
WordPress requires a supported PHP environment, a compatible MySQL or MariaDB database and HTTPS. We will confirm the server environment and package compatibility before recommending a plan.
DNS records connect your domain to services such as your website and email. Changes can take time to become visible across the internet, so plan domain moves and mail changes carefully.
Before publishing an order, MLE Hosting will confirm the package's storage, mailbox and database limits, billing cycle, backup arrangements, support scope and any optional charges.
