    I personally would take a snapshot of the server, and also check the backup status - from memory, I set this to backup each night and if that is the case, you’re good to go once you’ve downloaded the .tar.gz file (which can be opened with 7Zip by the way)

    Thank you very much Mark, just checking this now.

    I don’t think there are any backups made, but I’ll check now.

    There is a snapshot but no backup.

    @jac Let’s click “Enable Backups”. This way, you don’t need to worry about it, and they are very cheap.

    Even though it won’t be using that backup anymore?

    What I’m saying is if I won’t be using it I don’t want to pay for it 😉 😉 .

    Would that not be the same as the backup I downloaded?

    @jac If you don’t want to pay for it anymore, then you’ll need to power off and delete the instance also. Hetzner will still charge you for a powered-off instance, and the only way to stop that charge is to delete.

    @jac No. This is just the backup for the domain itself. Backup at server level means you can recover the entire machine.

    I understand mate…

    That may be the best option until I come up with something else, do you think?

    @jac agreed. Particularly if you intend to leave it for an extended period of time, then yes, that makes the most sense. Just remember that if you do decide to embark on that same journey again, the server itself, plus Webmin, Virtualmin, etc, all has to be created from scratch.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Unfortunately yes, I think that would be the best solution.

    A blog & forum about Stockport may be hard to do possibly in terms of content, & a church based website and forum could get messy 😛 it just depends how it was done.

    If it’s for a single church then it wouldn’t work out in my eyes, it would have to be for anyone to view.

    Ok, what’s the scenario to shut my account down? do I still need to take a full backup via Hetzner?

    Either that or a tech forum & blog. The idea of something local to me like a Stockport blog would be good but getting hold of information would be difficult.

    @jac No, you can simply power down and delete the machine.

    Delete & power off? is there anything else I would need to do before I do this mate?

    For anyone looking at a simple way to blog the new recommendation from @phenomlab is Ghost CMS.

    It’s Wordpress OUT, and Ghost IN it seems! *preference based 😉 .

    From my early viewing Ghost loads up super quick! it also seems very streamlined and modern compared to Wordpress, less bloat with the plugins, and more of a limited approach, something that I’d say helps, but the thing that clearly separates the two CMS’s is speed 100%! I mean who wants a slow loading site? - not me! 😛

    I can only say my experience is purely on a viewing basis and not from the admin area (back-end) or anything of that nature, it’s just purely from the front-end only.

    Here’s some examples of sites using Ghost.

    Even County’s site uses Wordpress 😉 . Although that does serve it’s purpose.

    @Hari the real issue here is that I don’t think it can be used as a theme for WordPress because of the dependencies it clearly has, including its own Web server. My view here is that this is designed to be a complete development environment outside of the WordPress core.

    Yes, I am aware that if users are given the option to enter alt text, some may do so in an abusive manner. For the time being, we’ve adjusted the php script to generate the alt automatically, thus there are no longer any SEO problem with alt images.

    @phenomlab said in Hardening WordPress - Reducing the attack vector: @jac Microsoft’s and Google’s Authenticator both support TOTP - essentially, a time based system that changes every 30 seconds. The main principle here is that the device itself carrying the One Time Passcode only needs to be in sync with the source server in terms of time, and can be completely offline with no internet access. Provided the time matches on both devices, the One Time Passcode will be accepted. Applications such as Microsoft Authenticator and Authy also support push notification meaning you just choose either yes or no on your device when prompted, and then that response is sent back to the origin which then determines if access is granted or not. One of the best looking password less authentication models was CLEF - sadly, this product died out due to a lack of funding (if I recall correctly) although some open source implementations of this have appeared quite recently. Essentially, both products will achieve the same goal. TOTP is an industry standard, and widely accepted across the board. Not all services offer push confirmation. Many thanks for the detailed reply mate. There’s some great advice in there that will help me secure my accounts.

    @jac That won’t matter. You just redirect at nginx or apache level and it’ll work. The generally accepted standard though is to use a subdomain.
