The leading company in hosting and web storage services, cdmon, has issued a warning about the risks associated with low-cost hosting services. According to cdmon, these offers, which often seem attractive due to their pricing, typically skimp on essential cybersecurity measures, jeopardizing the protection of user data and website owners. David Blanch, the company’s digital director, emphasizes that choosing a budget hosting provider can lead to severe consequences for the security and stability of online sites.
In a global context of increasing cyberattacks, Spain has become one of the most vulnerable countries, with over 150 data hostage incidents recorded in 2024. In response to this growing threat, cdmon has denounced harmful practices in the industry, especially those associated with low prices, which often conceal a lack of investment in critical tools such as SSL certificates, updated firewalls, and DDoS attack protection.
One of the most criticized techniques is “overselling,” which involves filling servers with customers to maximize profits. This overload not only affects site performance but also weakens their ability to implement defense mechanisms, turning them into easy targets for cyberattacks.
Furthermore, the lack of automatic backups and adequate technical support exacerbates the issue. Without reliable backups, recovery after an attack becomes complicated, resulting in significant economic losses and damage to the reputation of affected businesses. The lack of technical attention can also delay responses to urgent crises, putting operational continuity at risk.
To mitigate these problems, cdmon has launched an offer with an 80% discount on all its storage plans for those who choose an annual subscription. The company guarantees that all its plans include advanced cybersecurity measures at no extra cost to users, such as firewalls, real-time monitoring systems, and automatic backups, ensuring that those who want to establish an online presence can do so safely and affordably.
