Excellent question, Rajesh. The top best practices are: 1) Use strong, unique passwords for everything. 2) Keep all software (WordPress, plugins, themes) constantly updated. 3) Use the security tools we provide, like ModSecurity and the CSF firewall. 4) Enable 2FA on your HostMaji account. 5) Regularly run malware scans and review your files.
