Go to your own install’s about page - http://domain.com/wp-admin/about.php - to see what’s new.

And then make sure you’ve tried…

- flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.

- deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old

- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will force your site to use it.

- manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file of 3.3 (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Updatedirections first!

Now one would ask “How does this hacking takes place?” Such defacing hacking takes place and we get victim of it because we are careless or we don’t have basic knowledge of keeping our site secure. It is us who give a way for any hacking to take place. Any hacking which is taking place by browser happens due to weak permissions. Many common php applications we use like a picture gallery, forum etc are start point of hacking if and only if they are insecure or are of older versions or some files or directories of that applications are having weak permissions like 777 or 755. For example I have a application which has option of uploading a file. Now if that uploaded file is going in directory for example “images” and “images” is having 777 permissions. Now if I upload any defacing script using that options to images directory say “deface.php” then I can easily access that script using link:

http://domain.com/images/deface.php

as the images directory is having 777 permissions I can easily execute that script and can deface that account or website. If the permissions on other directories of server are really weak then I can deface the files in other locations of server also. After uploading the script I find more accounts on server who are having weak permissions then I can run my script from its current location and can hack other accounts too. So in this way your account, some other accounts or even whole server is hacked due to weak permissions. To clear this point I have attached a small php script with this post. Just upload it to your account and access it from browser you will see that you can browse other files on server whose permissions are weak.

• Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information
  • unless the email is digitally signed, you can’t be sure it wasn’t forged or ‘spoofed’
  • phishers typically include upsetting or exciting (but false) statements in their emails to get people to react immediately
  • they typically ask for information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, date of birth, etc.
  • phisher emails are typically NOT personalized, but they can be. Valid messages from your bank or e-commerce company generally are personalized, but always call to check if you are unsure
• Don’t use the links in an email, instant message, or chat to get to any web page if you suspect the message might not be authentic or you don’t know the sender or user’s handle
  • instead, call the company on the telephone, or log onto the website directly by typing in the Web adress in your browser
• Avoid filling out forms in email messages that ask for personal financial information
  • you should only communicate information such as credit card numbers or account information via a secure website or the telephone
• Always ensure that you’re using a secure website when submitting credit card or other sensitive information via your Web browser
  • Phishers are now able to ‘spoof,’ or forge BOTH the “https://” that you normally see when you’re on a secure Web server AND a legitimate-looking address. You may even see both in the link of a scam email. Again, make it a habit to enter the address of any banking, shopping, auction, or financial transaction website yourself and not depend on displayed links.
  • Phishers may also forge the yellow lock you would normally see near the bottom of your screen on a secure site. The lock has usually been considered as another indicator that you are on a ‘safe’ site. The lock, when double-clicked, displays the security certificate for the site. If you get any warnings displayed that the address of the site you have displayed does NOT match the certificate, do not continue.
• Remember not all scam sites will try to show the “https://” and/or the security lock. Get in the habit of looking at the address line, too. Were you directed to PayPal? Does the address line display something different like “http://www.gotyouscammed.com/paypal/login.htm?” Be aware of where you are going.
• Consider installing a Web browser tool bar to help protect you from known fraudulent websites. These toolbars match where you are going with lists of known phisher Web sites and will alert you.
  • The newer version of Internet Explorer version 7 includes this tool bar as does FireFox version 2
  • EarthLink ScamBlocker is part of a browser toolbar that is free to all Internet users – download athttp://www.earthlink.net/earthlinktoolbar
• Regularly log into your online accounts
  • don’t leave it for as long as a month before you check each account
• Regularly check your bank, credit and debit card satements to ensure that all transactions are legitimate
  • if anything is suspicious or you don’t recognize the transaction, contact your bank and all card issuers
• Ensure that your browser is up to date and security patches applied
• Always report “phishing” or “spoofed” e-mails to the following groups:
  • use the form on this page or forward the email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org
  • forward the email to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov
  • forward the email to the “abuse” email address at the company that is being spoofed (e.g. “spoof@ebay.com”)
  • when forwarding spoofed messages, always include the entire original email with its original header information intact
  • notify The Internet Crime Complaint Center of the FBI by filing a complaint on their website: www.ic3.gov/

Our approach to SEO is unique compared to our competitors; we believe that proper SEO is achieved by producing a machine-readable site without sacrificing design and usability. Many SEO companies will target search engines and ignore the human aspect. We maintain usability and design while making it easy for search engines to evaluate your website. This ensures that your site will not only rank well, but maintain its ability to communicate your message to the human visitor.

Finding the right keywords for your site is crucial for developing natural traffic. Every site is different and therefore should be targeting a different keyword audience. Our in-house professionals use advanced tools and research to find the highest traffic phrases that accurately align with your website.

Once we identify keywords and phrases that accurately represent your business and command high search indexes, the next stop is optimizing for these keywords. During keyword placement, the chosen keywords are injected into your content. Don’t worry – this process is painless and never sacrifices usability for human audiences. Our focus is on the following areas of a site:

• Page Title
• Meta-Description
• URL Path
• Page Headers
• Paragraph Content

Often sites are produced without SEO in mind. This isn’t always a bad thing as most SEO strategies can be executed in a post-production phase. Our technical optimization includes but is not limited to:

• Creating sitemaps for search engines
• Adjusting headers to include keyword content
• Tagging images to describe them to non-human visitors
• Improving linking within the website
• Identifying pages that we want to exclude from search results

Links from other websites are an important aspect of getting your site to rank well. Our professionals understand the difference between positive and negative links, and will only develop proper back links to your website.

If you are unhappy with your current host, maybe you are experiencing high downtime, are limited on your disk space or are simply paying too much per month, you need to decide on a new host, then the real fun of moving your content begins.

Firstly you need to make a backup of your MySQL Databases and save them somewhere safe on your computer. Login to your new control panel where you can then restore your files. If you are transferring to Web Wizard your control panel will be cPanel and you can restore your databases by using the Backup feature in the Site Management menu.

Next comes the moving of your files which can be done with the help of a third party software such as FileZilla which allows you to download a complete backup of your files. To then access these files you must create an FTP account in your new account which you can do in the FTP Manager Menu in cPanel. This will give you complete access to your files allowing you to upload them to your new server.

When you sign up with your new host they should provide you with an IP address which acts as an alternative to your domain name. Through this IP you can check that your website is showing correctly before you make the transfer complete by asking your registrar to change your nameservers. You should allow 24 hours for the nameservers to propagate. All that is then left is to cancel your old hosting, doesn’t sound too bad does it? If you are considering moving to Web Wizard don’t forget to take full advantage of our web hosting and dedicated support team available 24/7 at support[at]webwizard-lk.com.

Web hosting has been in existence pretty much since the explosion of the internet and has rapidly grown as an industry in its own right in recent years. In essence web hosting is the renting of space on a web server for your website to be stored on.

So why can’t you do this yourself with your own server? Why do we have to pay a middleman to host our own sites?

A web server basically does its job by being connected to the internet all the time. For security reasons, this means the web servers will usually be stored in secure surroundings and in a climate controlled environment to receive the best possible performance. When you sign up with a web hosting  provider, as well as paying for the web space, you will also be paying for specialist software and their technical expertise, which comes at an unrealistic cost for most website owners.

This all points to the simple answer that it’s much easier to let your host provider bother with all the above particulars than having to worry about it yourself. The cost of a yearly subscription to a web host provider is at an all time low and whether you are an individual or a business the benefits clearly outweigh the cost.
