Harr! How does one's own site become a hostage or be hijacked?

The devil is in the details. Be sure to ask your web designer how much of the site (if any) is licensed under them and if any of it is proprietary.
So you have hired a web designer and paid in full, in cash, to get the work started but with no contract in place (can you guess where this is headed?).
Just like your PC or Mac, software updates and upgrades are a must if you want to keep your site more safe and secure.
If choose to host with a local web company, make sure you've got your back-end covered with a contract (oh contracts, here we go again...).
Website projects are complex things and require a lot of time and task to complete.
