How I Solved Wordpress Hacking

About 3 weeks ago when I noticed that some of my websites that are hosted on a single hosting account has been hacked and was inserted by several ad scripts and malwares. I can't just stand there and watch my sites fall.

The hacking was done using brute force and SQL injection. It was so frustrating to see all those hard works to be compromised by these malicious softwares. It cost money to set up these websites. And I also loses money if I won't do anything to solve it.

So here's what I did.

1. I installed a couple of plugins that helps me detect possible weakness and loopholes in my site and secure the site. One of the plugins that I installed also helps me secure my site by limiting and banning IP addresses who tries to brute force my site. I was actually shocked when I got more than a hundred login tries within 12 hours. Thanks to that plugin.

2. Implement those warnings and instructions on how to lock it. I changed the data base prefixes, and tweaked over the sensitive files where hackers cannot directly write onto it. This avoids SQL injection.

3. Ban IP addresses that were detected. With the auto detection, I can now easily trace IP addresses and ban them permanently over the site.

4. Contact the host. When your site is hacked, sometimes, it is almost impossible for you to clean your site from all those bad files. So you might want to contact your host to scan over your site and delete those malicious files. And that’s what I did.

5. Reinstall a clean version of Wordpress. After cleaning, it is advised to reinstall your Wordpress site so that fresh and clean Wordpress files will be installed. This will also delete hidden scripts that were installed in some of your php files.

Result?

I was able to stop more than 200 hacking attempts overnight. And for 24 hours monitoring, I don’t see too anymore SQL injection activity. I really do hope that I finally get rid of those malware.

Ultimate Plugin Smart Update Pinger Review

I've been using wordpress in one of my blogs. I came to know the UPSUP from one of the blog gurus that highly recommends it for it does the pinging automatically and solving one of the pinging bugs in the default wordpress. And this plugin is really cool and it does a lot of help.

However, after a good deal of time observing this plugin, I found out that it has some detrimental effects especially if your wordpress blog is being hosted in a shared server. Ultimate Plugin Smart Update Pinger really slows down the posting time and consume a large amount of CPU effort which sometime causes server to crash.

In my personal experience, I had my site suspended for having a CPU spike of 140++ while posting. The tech support guy told me that it was really necessary for my site to be suspended for it may cause damage to other sites in the same server. Shew.... and that caused me a two-day downtime. They made investigation if my site has been hacked, or was caused by some scripts, or if I made some deceiving modifications.

So I told them that they have to reactivate my site so that I can deactivate some plugins including the UPSUP. It is because in my observation, if UPSUP is active, my posting time takes me up to 20-30 seconds before it makes a post. After deactivating it, I only now have about 5-8 seconds of posting time.

Well, here's the thing. I admit that UPSUP is such a great plugin. But definitely it slows down your site which may also cause you being banned from your hosts. My advice, if you are using it on a dedicated server, go on then. But if you are only paying a small amount of money in exchange for a shared hosting, then better to look for another plugin.

The Best Hosting Company in the Philippines

I've just finished transferring to a new hosting service company locally here in the Philippines. And I just want to share my experience with this hosting service provider and give a commendation for their exemplary customer service.

web.com.ph has been operating now for several years and has build up a pretty good reputation of delivering a very good service. Here are just some of the things that convinced me in giving this commendation:

1. Real Cheap. If you are looking for a real cheap hosting company, I believe that this hosting company has been giving one of the cheapest offers that you can find in the Philippines. Considering their performance and support, I believe that they even have over delivered what you have paid for.

We are already used to the saying, “You'll get what you paid for”, but this is not true with this hosting company, “You'll get MORE than what you paid for.”

2. EXCELLENT Customer Service – This is where I got most excited with this hosting company. With my desire to transfer my website to a better hosting service provider, I tried searching the net for local hosting companies that can really deliver what I need. I have inquired several hosting companies and some of them replied after a few days. I kept on searching until I came across www.web.com.ph and to my surprise, they have a real online support.

I already have seen several hosting companies that offers online support, but when you check them, they are most of the time offline. But unlike this one, they are online most of the time. And even if you have an urgent inquiry about your account with them, they will try their best to respond to your email to see to it that you are not left in limbo.

One time it's holiday and I am really having a problem with my site. So I tried to email the tech support hoping that they will answer after two days because of a long holiday. To my surprise, an answer came in to my inbox after 3 hours, in the midst of holiday. And guess what who responded? The owner of web.com.ph himself.

3. Best Hosting Plans – I think they have the best hosting plans. As for me, I took the Standard hosting plan which gives me 1GB space, 20GB Bandwith, unlimited subdomains and email accounts and many more. All these for Php 1200.00 (about $25) a year only. Yes it is a shared hosting, but they still have a fast service.

To summarize what I am saying, here's their press release video:

Five Common Mistakes When You Plan to Make Money Blogging

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alex_Sysoef]Alex Sysoef

When people talk about how to make money blogging, their descriptions make the entire process sound easy. While there are indeed six-digit bloggers somewhere around the world, the majority of blogs out there find themselves struggling to earn even a few dollars a month. Don't be one of them.

Stagnant visitor count

Your site may have 1,000,000 hits, but expect those hits to steadily decrease if you do not reach out and find a new audience. You can do this by actively participating in venues around the Internet. Forums, marketing sites, affiliate reviews, and even other blogs are excellent ways to increase the presence of your blog. Keep tabs in what's happening in these sites, and make sure you make your fair share of posts in these sites to advertise your own blog. Just remember not to advertise your blog too blatantly, as you may end up getting kicked out of these venues.

Posting irrelevant content

No one cares if your pet dog died or your girlfriend/boyfriend broke up with you, at least none of your blog visitors. People visit blogs to learn something new and to avail of a service, not to listen to your personal grievances. That does not mean, though, that you should not inject a personal quip here and there. Just make sure that you do so in a constructive manner that will catch the attention of your readers.

Lack of updates

Do not treat your blogs as 'fire and forget' projects. The more frequent the posts are in your blog, the more readers will keep checking back to see something new. They are hungry for information, and it is your job to keep that hunger fed. While daily posts are ideal, even more frequent updates keeps the readers on edge and constantly visiting your site for news and relevant information.

Failing to optimize keywords

Remember that search engines are your best friend. The most likely way for a reader to find your blog would be to use a search engine to find keywords associated to your blog posts. Work around a set of keywords and insert them decisively but sparingly around your blog post. Just remember that search engine optimization is not about flooding your post with keywords. Use them three to five times in your article, and spread them every hundred or so words.

Overdoing the ads

Nobody likes intrusive pop-ups, and don't think they will help keep your readers around. While ads are the primary ways in which you earn with blogging, remember to keep them in areas that are readable and non-intrusive. Keep them in check, and avoid pop-ups or screen-blocking advertisements if you do not want to turn off new visitors to your site.

Stagnating visitor counts, irrelevant posts, no updates, poorly optimized posts and ad-bombs are the five most common mistakes people make when they construct their blogs. Keep them in mind, and you will be free to make money blogging without a hitch.

And now I would like to invite you to claim your free instant access to [http://www.expertwordpress.com]Expert WordPress blog installer package that will enable you to create a blog as described above even if you never created a single page!
