Good stuff, thanks.<br />

Is BlueHost one of the good ones? They keep pitching me to move to the &quot;cloud&quot;. I'm not really understanding that. Isn't everything on the cloud already?

HI all,<br />
<br />
I have a website that's Joomla based. I keep getting security breaches where malicious code is injected, etc. <br />
<br />
It's not a mission critical site, so it's more of an annoyance than anything. But what are some of the preventative measures that people take for something like this?<br />
<br />
Also, are there tools that clean up these malicious injections? An anti-virus for Joomla websites?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Securing Joomla Site

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
