Hosting is Binoz secure when PHP applications, like WordPress, are run using your account’s username instead of the server’s default shared username (www or www-data). The most common way for hosting companies to do this is using suPHP. Just ask your potential host if they run suPHP or something similar.
We recommend using WpEngine.com or
A Small Orange for all your hosting needs.
