    SPAM orders (from Russia ? )

    Hi, You could try adding a plugin like this that would enable captcha protection https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-google-recaptcha/ You could also make use of Cloduflare for your DNS and proxy your traffic through them as they will filter a lot of bot traffic. Thanks Paul

    Two critical security issues related to hosting and servers.

    It’s less at that point related to wordpress as that is just a way to upload a shell script for example or any manner of other bits and pieces. After that wordpress is irrelevant it’s just an open window into the files etc so to speak. Which then allows the exploit to be used which gives you...

    Two critical security issues related to hosting and servers.

    This probably explains it best https://copy.fail/ However briefly it just needs a normal unprivileged user like every hosting account would receive for example hence the bad actor vector if you like. Thanks Paul

    Two critical security issues related to hosting and servers.

    Hi Yes it does indeed. A good example would be an exploited Wordpress site or any of the others etc or simply a bad actor purchasing a hosting package to gain that access. But once they have that access it is relatively easy to exploit and elevate to a privileged user. Thanks Paul

    Oh dear - critical website issue - one or more modules are missing

    Hi A subscription expiring would not normally cause this issue. For your domain if it is a .co.uk .uk .me.uk .org.uk domain type you can also check with Nominet (the domain Registry for those types) because it may have been registered in your name and you can gain access that way as 123reg may...

    Oh dear - critical website issue - one or more modules are missing

    No worries at all. Once you do please make sure you get control of your own domain name. Also install the wordpress plugin all in one wp backup and take a backup of your website and download it. Both things are crucial if it is hard to get hold of them in the future.

    Oh dear - critical website issue - one or more modules are missing

    Searching for web addresses, which then get reserved?

    If you’re searching for a domain ending .uk so .co.uk etc and are worried about this happening you can do a lookup directly at Nominet here https://nominet.uk/lookup/
