WordPress Websites Global Botnet Attack

April 15, 2013/in Social Media /by chameleon

There is a global attack on WordPress websites being carried out by a Global Botnet Attack which is said to be made up of at least 100,000 hacked computers.

This large worldwide attack on WordPress websites is effecting hosting companies across the globe forcing them to make changes and add an extra layer of security.

The attack is a brute force attack of the admin area to try and gain access to the WordPress websites.

There are early indications that the hackers are using the access they can achieve to install malicious scripts onto the hosting servers and then use these to attack other websites.

This is having a huge issue on shared hosting servers as the impact of a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack will take down the shared hosting server.

Because the hosting servers have large network connections and are capable of generating significant amounts of traffic the problem is much larger than peoples computer being used to carry out a DDos attack.

Monthly Web Design

April 13, 2013/in Social Media /by chameleon

We have had a few clients mention companies offering website solutions with search engine optimisation for as little as £59 per month.

With these fantastic website claims you get everything such as custom website design, content management (CMS), logo design, branded email address, email newsletter system, video gallery, eCommerce online shop and even Search optimisation (SEO).

Advantages of Monthly Web Design

The costs are cheap as this is spread over months but how many months ????

Lets take the example of £59 per month and look at what this actually works out.

£59 x 12 months = £708

£59 x 24 months = £1,416

£59 x 36 months = £2,124

At what point does the cost stop and what if you stop paying the monthly fees after 3 years spending £2,124. Does the website get deleted or removed?

One Off Cost or Monthly Cost for Web Design

To compare paying a one off cost for a website design to a monthly web design package you need to consider that with a one off cost you get the site and its yours to do with as you please.

Chameleon recommend that you look at the overall longterm costs of a monthly web design proposal and investigate the terms of the contact.
