We have never been hacked at hostforweb. You may be referring to shared hosting. Which is largely succesptible to jump attacks. Their VPS and Dedicated hosting is far more secure and reliable. Where some may also fall short, is that When Hostforweb sells you a dedicated server, they are not taking over all elements of security, Some of this is your own responsability, as you have a complete system at your fingertips, they aren't running it for you, you are. You can of course ask them to do things see more for you, but never assume, this is when many get hacked.
