Professional Security
Within a week or two of putting up my first Joomla site I saw hack attempts coming in at it. I read the forums here and saw post after post about hacked sites. I didn't want my time and money wasted and started looking
around for quality security to protect the two joomla sites that I have now operating.
I read the reviews here and looked at a lot of products. I went with SecureLive for Joomla and have not been disappointed. I read other reviews griping about price but if you're ever had a website hacked (and I have) you know that the money for this product is a small price to pay. The hours it takes to clean up a site alone is worth the extra cost it takes to use a first rate product like SecureLive.
I've had it running now for a few weeks and see constant attempts to hack my sites. But they no longer bother me because I know that I have a high level secure program in place.
The other thing I look for in any extension that I use is support. First thing I do is to read their forums to see if the author or developer team is active in their own forums and giving support in a timely manner. If they don't have forums, then I call. The reason for calling is twofold, are they available, do they seem willing and eager to provide pre-sales information and do I get the impression that they will be just as eager to help with support after purchase.
When I called SecureLive I was impressed with their responsiveness to my questions. And now that I own the product I have found that they are just as anxious and willing to spend time on support issues.
This is a first class operation with a first class product. If you want to be sure that you never find out what its like to clean up a hacked site, then you won't go wrong with this product.
