After opening Computer, Look for C: drive or any drive that may have your windows installed ( in this case I want to assume that it was installed on C:/.
2. Open C: drive and Open Windows Folder as seen in the image below:
Locate and open System 32 Folder on the list of folders under windows.
See image below:
3. Proceed to open Drivers folder
4. Having opened the Drivers folder, go ahead to locate and open etc folder
5. Locate and right click on the host file that is a text file as seen in the picture below and choose either notepad or Open With to enable you select notepad.
After opening with notepad, you will see the text document with codes as can be found in the image below
6. You will locate the last line of the code, and type your own code. Let’s say I want to block youtube.com and facebook.com, I will type the loopback address of the network card of the computer which is by default 127.0.0.1 followed by a space and then type the url of the site you want to block.
E.g 127.0.0.1 www.youtube.com.
Having done that, Click on Save. Then go to open your browsers,type any of the urls blocked and you will see that the site cannot open.
One more thing lest I forget, sometimes certain antivirus programs do not allow you to update host file without restrictions, in that case you may need to disable the antivirus so the host file can save.
For systems running microsoft essentials, follow the same step above to disable should it restrict updating of host file

You wouldn’t want your work to be disrupted due to power failure hence the need to go for a laptop instead.

Hackers are capable of anything when talking about the safety of websites online especially wordpress sites.
Part of the challenges of having websites online like wordpress site is due to the activities of hackers.
Hackers are capable of so many terrible things on the internet.
Like the pirates in the sea, highway robbers etc., the aim of hackers is always to compromise information in online resources.
Hackers are people who are always out to find and exploit weaknesses on computers or computer networks.
There are different reason why hacking is often done, its either to make profit, challenge the expertise of someone, enjoy it as a game or even protecting something they feel is not pleasant to them.
There are two major types of hacking, ethical and unethical hacking.
This involves hacking activity that is legal and permissive. For instance, if an operating system password can no longer be remembered yet the owner of the computer wants the password removed. If someone breaks into the computer with his or her permission to help out, it is referred to as ethical hacking.
Ethical hackers normally require permission and authority to hack most times, they are commissioned or paid to carry out the hacking.
Hackers under this category carry out illegal hacking without permission. Most times they do it to earn profit for themselves.
Some of the hackers look at it as a game or a challenge with which they must win.
Hackers do not respect the size of organization they intend to hack. Big companies like Sony, Chick-fil-A, Anthem, Premera Blue Cross, U.S. Postal Service, MCX, Staples have all been hacked recently.
Hackers also do not respect the technology or platform that was used to build the website only that some platforms are a bit easier for them to break through than others.
WordPress is a powerful Content Management System (CMS) which has gained acceptance in recent years and has been able to power millions of websites from small to mighty companies across the globe.

However, like every other technology, wordpress sites are invaded by hackers periodically.

Hackers will attack even if your website does not have much traffic. Because for hackers everything website is a huge resource.
Hackers do all these by publishing malicious scripts.
But hey! Don’t worry in this article, I will show you how to protect your website from such attacks and make the hackers scripts quit and go to easier targets.
By default the username of a wordpress website is “Admin”. This explains why there are several hacking scripts built to hack wordpress sites through the username “Admin”.

If your website’s username is “Admin” , go to the Dash Board, Users and create a new user with administrator privilege.
Delete Admin username while doing that, select the option “Attribute all contents to:” the new username you just created.
By default wordpress allow users many attempted to login, that is bad for you but good for hackers as they take advantage of a few attempts feedbacks to hack your site.
To limit the login attempts, go to your Dash Board , Add New Plugins then search for wp limit login attempts.
Install and activate it, go to settings, Wp limit Plugin to set how many attempts you can allow.
Periodically, wordpress themes, plugins and related facilities are updated to address rising security and other challenges.
Non-updated wordpress sites are vulnerable to threats from hackers.
It is therefore advisable to update your website regularly. But remember to back-up your site before updating .
