Hijacked Website – How To Keep Your Site Safe

Cruel betrayal is growing daily within numerous forms of business.

I looked forward to growing an online business so I could contribute to the safety of others’ lives. Because I was too trusting and failed to check out the web development I chose to build a website, my website was hijacked and destroyed. The dishonorable predatory company put me out of business for almost two years.

Lesson learned – don’t ever hire a web development company that retains your FTP file and domain name and insists on having complete control over your website. The dishonorable website development company that destroyed my website even went behind my back and registered my blog domain without my consent or knowledge.

The lesson here is that whoever has a proprietorship of the “company domain name owns the company.” You need to make sure you have control of your Domain Records (FTP Files) and their password.

Some web development companies will deliberately destroy your website and all the records and files to your former website.

Require that your domain records “FTP Files” remain in your possession.

Lesson Learned

The safest way to avoid becoming a victim of website hijacking is to learn to build your own website. Always keep your business records under your control.

By the Grace of Our Lord Jesus; two extremely knowledgeable and honorable friends are assisting me in the rebuilding of PDM Self Defense. Thank you sincerely, Rana and Barbara.
