- Rjevski 8y agoA Wordpress website isn’t an advantage, it’s a nightmare in terms of security and maintenance.
- e40 8y agoPerhaps less so if you use a wordpress hosting service.
- zodPod 8y agoAre you actually e-40?
- petra 8y agoPlease explain.
- e40 8y agoA wordpress hosting service does one thing, maintain WP. They live and breath it. They apply important updates right away. They are more secure than my WP would be, since I don't live and breath it. And, if I'm using a WP hosting service and they get owned, no skin off my nose. I have daily backups of my WP site, so I can move to another one that is more secure, should my current hosting service prove unreliable.
- nkg 8y ago+1. It's hell.
- ibdf 8y agoI disagree. WP pushes security updates up often. There's a huge emphases on security with each major update as well. It's poor plugin development that opens up other security issues. Plus the damn thing powers 25% of the websites on the internet, of course it's a big target. I have seen tons of WP sites hacked, all literally all were on shared hosting or way way out of date, which turns out is the main issue here, not WP.
- Implicated 8y ago> It's poor plugin development that opens up other security issues. Have you worked with WooCommerce in the past? It's scary.
- mkirklions 8y agoWhat about security? And what maintenance? Hitting update every few weeks?
