Small business websites are targeted constantly, not because hackers are interested in you specifically, but because automated bots scan millions of sites looking for known weaknesses. Outdated software, weak passwords and abandoned plugins are the most common ways in.

A hacked website can be redirected to spam, used to send malicious emails, flagged as dangerous by Google or simply taken offline. Recovering is stressful and costly. Prevention is far easier.

Security monitoring is included in every care plan from £25 a month.Compare care plans →

FAQs

Website security: your questions answered

My website is small. Will anyone really try to hack it?

Yes. Most attacks are automated and indiscriminate, so small websites are hit just as often as large ones.

Can you fix a hacked website?

Yes. We'll clean the infection, close the vulnerability, restore from a clean backup where possible and request a review from Google if your site has been flagged.
