Considering
‘SECURITY’
Is a hassle while getting hosted on a
Cloud, here are a few tips that will
help you keep your data away from
prying eyes...

passwords by default. Remember to
change this setting on public systems.
Browse safe to keep your data safe!

Data
BACKUPBack up your data regularly on cloud applications
run on a server apart from yours to avoid panic in
case of technical breakdowns or robberies. Cloud
applications autosave data from time to time and is
best suited for those who forget to save it. The two
most popular cloud apps being Google Docs and
Dropbox.

Smart
PASSWORD
Remember, if it’s easy to remember, it’s
easy to guess. Here are a few tips to create
a smart password:
› Use an uppercase letter as the first character of your password.
› Use some random characters like #,$,* etc.
› Replace common letters with their look alikes; eg. use ‘1’ to
replace ‘I’ and ‘0’ to replace ‘O’.
› Don’t share your password with others.

Don’t reuse
PASSWORDS
As a continuation to creating smarter
passwords, using different passwords for
different platforms is always a wise call. Keep
your email passwords safely locked away!

Manage your
PASSWORDS
Since it is advised to not repeat your
passwords, use an application like LastPass to
record all your passwords and lock them away
from prying eyes under a master password.
LAST WORD…

LAST WORD…
If you have a website with plans to make it
large, make Cloud Hosting your prime choice.

hosting budget.
