That screen loops when I visit my website. sometimes it doesn't appear.

I already asked support and they said they're going to look after it.

This is my first tim

You site was hacked and this can happen to anyone on ANY server - no matter how secure. If you have a weak password, then it would be fairly easy to get into.

It's irrelevant that it happened to a site on WA, or Godaddy, or BlueHost - all are easily victim to hacks. Some of the main ways hackers can hack your site:

1. Keyloggers - You've surfed the web and found someone elses' site that has been hacked and have infected your PC with a keylogger (malware). This literally keeps a log of everything you do and sends it to the hacker - your websites, your passwords you type to your websites, your banking information - everything. I'd suggest you download an anti-malware program called Malwarebytes and clean/disinfect your PC immediately if you suspect a keylogger.

2. A Brute Force Attack - This is when they run a continuous attack on your website or banking or anything account. It's usually the first thing they try as a brute force will take a dictionary/thesaurus and mash all the words into your password until they get a match. It'll also use symbols for words (such as $ymbols). Most hosting companies (and I'm sure WA) have easy safeguards against this, as the host senses multiple attempts at a password and locks you out after say 3 tries.

3. Man in the Middle Attack - This happens ALL the time with wireless devices, "especially Apple". When you go to a coffee shop and log into their wifi, Apple asks you if you want to "remember" this wifi connection so you can always connect to it. A hacker can then create a wifi network anywhere using the same network name (e.g. McDonals) and walk around town. Your phone "auto-connects" as you told it to remember the connection. Once you're connected, they have your device and can watch everything you're doing, from banking, e-mails, web browsing, logging into your WA account, etc. Easy fix here is don't remember wifi - sure it means you need to log in every time, but this completely breaks the Man in the Middle attack. I'd also suggest you change all your account passwords immediately as a lot of passwords get sent behind the scenes and you don't see them (e.g. e-mail).

There's many, many more ways, but those are the main ones...

For these reasons, it's extremely important to routinely back up your site. Kyle mentions this in the training. If you have a recent backup, then your site can easily be restored. If not, then it takes a lot more work.

Thank you for a very well explained answer.

That is scary. I use to connect with public wifi and I’m an apple user.

Good info to know.

Hi Franklin,

I might be wrong, but in my opinion that adult warning screen has nothing to do with your site ...

I would say that is probably a malicious browser addon ...

The person who messaged me about it said, "yikes. I thought they (WA) had secure servers?"

He is trying to inject doubt whether our websites are safe with WA.

When I look at SiteHealth it appears as you can see.

SiteSupport said my site is infected.

Well, if is a WA hosted site, it seems to be a WA Support issue, as we don't have cPanel or access to the server configurations

Have you installed any new plugins lately?

And I'm still thinking about a browser issue ... have you tried to access your site from a different computer to see if the problem reappears or not?

Yes. That's why I sent a message right away to WA Support.

It's intermittent. I just tried right now with Chrome and it's okay.

Nope. It just started after a Facebook friend chatted with me regarding WA.

To send him a link to my WA review, I visited my website then I saw that appeared. It just started right after that person chatted with me.

Well, what can I say Franklin? Good luck!

Hi! I'm trying to create a comparison between hostgator and WA for my first revew about WA.

I learned that in hostgator there is what they call SiteLock which protects

Tony to the rescue!!! Thanks Tony for your great answers!!!

Tried and True

Elaine

You are welcome Elaine and thank you my Friend!!!

Tony

Yes Franklin, Our sites here hosted within WA have the SSL Certificate my Friend and are Secure from all of the above!

Thanks! What I learned that SSL and malware protection are different.

WA has Malware protection as well Franklin, we used to have to utilize the Akismet Plugin then the another one and now we don't need any plugins for that because it is included.

View this Franklin - Let me know that this helps answer your questions my Friend,

Tony

Isn't it different from SiteSecurity?

SiteSecurity: Our proprietary suite of website security including hacking, malware, and bot-net attack protection. We keep your hard work safe.

Did you read Carson's post thoroughly Franklin?

Maybe you can simply ask SiteSupport here at WA.

The answers are there my Friend,

Tony

I just did. I guess it's totally different with malware protection but my question is answered. SiteSercurity is included.

Thanks for the time Tony!

you are correct SSL and maleware are different as is protection from hacking and maleware. WA has implemented all.

Thanks for the confirmation! :)

Wow, I'm learning new things here. LOL.

always more to learn

to people who have never dealt with this it can be confusing to understand the differences that make up a defense-in-depth approach to online security. Maybe a little more understanding, Tony?

I shared WA link directly to a friend, but I got referral on Jaaxy instead.

That's interesting.. didn't know that.. thanks Loes!!

Tried and true

Elaine

WA and Jaaxy are connected, when someone signs up on WA, they automatically will be your Jaaxy referral too. When they decide to get the Jaaxy pro account, you get paid for that too

Thanks Loes for your thorough explanation.
For newbies, I think it would really be confusing especially that referrals get the Jaaxy email faster than the one from WA.

Yes, I understand that, so it's time to rewrite your WA review:) and homepage message. I just released a blog about it, thank you for your input!

THANK YOU!!!!

I shared my WA link to a friend who live in the country excluded from the FREE Starter membership. When he received an email he got it from support@jaaxy.com. He questioned to

Perhaps Jaaxy's system is working quicker. When my daughter signed up, it took WA about 5,5 hours to send me the notification about it, I started doubting whether my affiliate link was working correctly

Thanks Loes!

It think this should be the one I'm looking for.
I'll wait for a couple of hours then.

Thanks!

Hi Loes!

I had another referral who only received email from Jaaxy.
The other one, I cannot confirm if he received another email from WA.
Is this a common issue in the Philippines?

When a person from the Philipines want to join WA, they have to go premium right away, it's a banned country

So I have to send the different link not the WA main link right?

Yes, you can't edit the main link, you need to create one yourself

Great question and Great answers. Thanks for sharing

Jaaxy is a keyword research tool.

WA is an affiliate training platform including hosting and other services to help build a website.

Here's about jaaxy.

Here is about WA.

Hi!

This is the link I used.
Then he has not appeared in my WA referrals.

When I looked at my Jaaxy referrals, it says 1 more than my WA.

I try to help my best. Hopefully someone can help you in WA.

Thanks!!!

I really appreciated it! :)

I noticed with my referrals from other countries, I received the same email congratulating me from Jaaxy though I was sharing my WA link. But then, they also appeared on my WA referral list.

Hey Franklin,

Jaaxy is the WA keyword search tool. See screen print below...
WA affiliate link is a link that if someone signs up as a member, will give credit to the person who's affiliate link was clicked on.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Triblu!

But why my friend received the welcome email from Jaaxy when I shared my WA link?

I check my WA affiliate referrals, it’s the same.

In Jaaxy, it has one more but I can’t check the names.

If you have a Jaaxy affiliate link, perhaps your contact clicked on that link.

I directly sent my WA link to him.

So I'm confused.

I'm hoping somebody else will join us here. :)

How can a website be migrated from hostgator to siterubix?

Hi Frank,

First like Alan said, you need to be a premium member. After that you can use the following tutorial to move from Hostgator to SiteRubix. There are two options:
1) moving domain and website
2) changing nameservers to WA servers (essentially paying hostgator for the domain and WA for the hosting)

If it is all too technical your option is to contact the support team here at WA and let them do the whole job for you.

So, now you know what to do. ;)

Steven

Thank Steven for a very well explained answer.
I'm just so happy this is how easy to get an answer and helpful people here are.

That you will experience here all the time. It is a promise I will make, and many others with me. It is simply how this community works and when you do it to others you get it back as well. It is however not simple, I have not seen many other communities that are built so well and keep on revisiting the same place over and over again.

The returning community is what is making WA to a success.

Steven

Hi Steven! I want to have the option 1 so I can manage my website in WA alone.

I feel safer if my domain and host is WA.

I already backed-up my website and downloaded it on my PC.
I will upload it in Filezilla.
