With all the talk on the thread (shall-not-be-named) about the security of Symbiostock 0I am reminded of a post about the necessity of hosting (Wordpress) one's site oneself.  I thought that the post was interesting.  One of the points made in it--beyond the main one that people who are serious about hosting a site should host it themselves--is that some hosting sites specialize in Wordpress, so their staff is better at resolving Wordpress-specific issues.

In the thread that shall-not-be-named grsphoto posted a link to an article on Wordpress security, repeated here so that people do not need to visit that thread.  The article reminded me of the aforementioned post because it recommends WPEngine which the author of the aforementioned post recommends, but for other reasons.

I am using bluehost and so far so good, so I have no plans for moving.

Just wanted to share with the community ...
