I'm more than willing to learn the basics - my fear is that the basics simply aren't good enough. I can be confident in the things I have done but being unaware of thing I should be doing and not is what would keep me awake. I totally agree that most vulnerable attack vector is the app itself but that, I feel, I have control over. This is why I thought I'd hand this part over to a professional. If Elance is not the place to go does anyone know of any reputable companies or individuals who would be able to offer a service like this? Surely I'm not the only non systems administrator that has faced this issue - or is it as simple as following the steps outlined above and that's generally enough? The reason I don't want to go with Rackspace is that I've been having intermittent problems with them on Rackspace Sites for a few months. I know their Cloud product is not the same but my experience of their support and the fact that the technical issues haven't been ironed out in a few months hasn't given me a warm and cozy feeling.
