Site Protection From Hackers

Question

Me and a couple of my friends are starting a forum. we already have to domain, but we need something to protect from hackers, because our last site got hacked so bad we had to stop buying it.

So what do we need to protect this? is there a free one? and how do I put it on the site?

thanks

Depends on what extension are allowed in the domain. If you could have *.php then you could implement the security features of PHP scripts. View this other forum for some tips: http://www.forums.phplist.com/viewtopic....

For PHP scripts, google http://www.google.com/search?q=PHP+scrip...

If the domain is hosted on Apache, there are a lot of ways to secure the forum, try http://httpd.apache.org/

Or you could research on the use of CAPTCHA on your forum http://www.captcha.net/
