 * Hi everyone,
 * I installed several wp sites on hostpapa and planethoster, via cpanel.
    With 
   Planethoster, the speed of loading is very fast, but I had serious problems with
   hacking : spam files are directly upload in several wp files, sometimes, the 
   site is redirected. They told me that maybe certain plugins caused that, and 
   wp should always be up to date.
 * But with hostpapa, I never had these kinds of problem. However, it’s been a long
   time now that wp is not updated and there are a lot of plugins (also not updated).
 * It is possible for you guys to figure out what may be the problem, sorry I don’t
   know how to have more information. Maybe I can check php config if you could 
   tell me what should I have to do.
    Thank you very much

 * 1. That can all be prevented at the server level. The fact that they aren’t aware
   of this and are simply blaming WP suggests to me that you should leave immediately.
 * If you choose to move: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server)
 * 2. If you choose to stay, remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
 * 3. As soon as a WordPress update is released, it’s announced at [https://wordpress.org/news/](https://wordpress.org/news/)
   including what the update fixes. WordPress is also open source software, meaning
   the everyone can see how it has been fixed. Anyone can reverse engineer those
   security fixes into how to exploit older versions.
 * I say this to mean that you should never under any circumstances refuse to update
   WordPress. The minute you do that, you become an easy target for anyone looking
   to cause some random chaos.
