Looking for Security Suggestion

Hi, I recently switched a very popular web site from one web host to another because the first web host was bought by an unscrupulous company and was down a lot. The first web host had a product that added security to the website to help guard against php MySQL injection. I switched 2 days ago and one of the forms was hacked already. I switched to InMotion since I have had one client on that for over 10 years without one hiccup.

Aside from SSL, is there something I can do to make the site's forms more secure?

Thanks in advance. I find the Coffeecup form builder has saved me many hours and I am a fan.

Hello Janette,

One thing I could suggest is using Website Access Manager by Coffeecup which can be found here : http://www.coffeecup.com/website-access-manager/

Basically you can put your web form in a secure area of your website that only members will be able to access by logging in.

Edit*** I have recently put a tutorial together showing how that function works which can be found here:

This is a powerful tool that can do many other things so its well worth the investment.
Taking over the world one website at a time!

That might be what I will do. Thanks for the prompt response and the video link as well.
