To keep your app (e.g., WordPress, Magento) secure at Nextel Systems Ltd, follow these steps:

• Enable Free SSL: Activate SSL in cPanel to encrypt data (e.g., for yoursite.com). It’s included in all plans (STARTER, ~UGX 50,000/month, to TERABYTE).
• Use Automated Backups: Turn on daily backups in cPanel to restore your app if hacked or crashed. Check “Backup Wizard” for setup.
• Update Regularly: Keep your app, plugins, and themes updated via Softaculous or app dashboards (e.g., WordPress admin) to patch vulnerabilities.
• Set Strong Passwords: Use complex passwords for your Domain Account, cPanel, and app admin (e.g., 12+ characters, mixed symbols). Avoid “admin123.”
• Limit Access: Restrict app admin users and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available (e.g., WordPress plugins like Wordfence).
• Monitor Activity: Check cPanel’s “Security” or app logs (e.g., Magento’s error logs) for suspicious login attempts or file changes.
• Install Security Plugins: For CMS apps, add tools like Wordfence (WordPress), Patchman (Joomla), or MageFence (Magento) to block threats.
