Solution- Hacking Unauthorised Access Surveillance

Setting up an online hosting infrastructure is a complicated business. Staying competitive in the market is even more so. When you are researching options for hosting your website, consider the following points:

• Larger companies will be more reliant on existing control panels and automated processes to solve your problems and less willing to go out of their way specifically for you. On the other hand their infrastructure could be better suited to mitigate an attack
• Research company reviews from past customers
• Read the terms of service, in particular their mitigation options during an attack
• Look for details on their data centre location, internal systems security, client privacy, customer support agreements

In any case, keep your own backup of the site and make sure you are in control of the DNS records so as to switch providers when necessary. A more detailed guide is available for those considering their hosting options.
