What Hackers Actually Do to Small Websites (And How to Stop Them)

Many think hackers only target big companies—but small websites are easier targets.

What hackers do:

• Steal customer data
• Redirect visitors to spam websites
• Crash your website

How to stop them:

• Use SSL (HTTPS)
• Keep software updated
• Use strong passwords
• Install security plugins
• Choose secure hosting

Tip: Most attacks happen due to weak security, not bad luck.

Free vs Paid SSL: What’s the Real Difference?

SSL secures your website and protects user data—but not all SSLs are the same.

Free SSL:

• Basic encryption
• Good for blogs & small sites
• Quick and easy setup

Paid SSL:

• Higher trust (company verification)
• Better for business & eCommerce
• Shows verified identity

Bottom line:
Free SSL = security
Paid SSL = security + trust
