You've probably known, that a shared host is less secure than a dedicated one. Well, this article will make you consider your judgements.
Do you know that about 60% of hosting provides do not offer any way to secure your PHP scripts and data?
Meaning that users of shared hosting providers can easily access files of each other, read PHP source, find database access data, view your customer's orders and even Credit Cards & merchant account data by browsing your online store database!
Cannot believe that? There is an easy way to check this:
FTP your site and check the files access data. Probably, there’s something like this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 max max 1714 Jan 16 14:28 test.php
The last letter "r" means that any user of the server can access this file. So, in case your script doesn’t work with permissions like: -rw-rw---- you know that a file with database credentials can be easily read by anyone else on the same server.
So, have you ever had troubles with accessing the file that was created by PHP script, and got suggestions from your hosting support to set premonitions to files/directories to 777 or 666? But nobody warned you that it’s a critical security hole, that any other customer of this hosting provider will be able to access/change/delete this file or directory and even upload hack staff to your hosting account.
Luckily, there are good solutions to solve all these problems; Safe osCommerce Hosting is using PHP in CGI/suexec mod, this mode has about 99,5% of standard functionality and does not demand you to allow other users access you files. Also you’ll never face any problem with uploading files via PHP scripts and FTP.
If things are so simple, why does not my provider use this mode?
There’s a simple reason. Most hosting providers save money on servers and strive to host a maximum amount of customers on single server. But CGI mode demands about 50% more of server resources, comparing with traditional PHP mode. So, most hosting provides just save money, putting the security of their customers on risk!
