If you are using shared hosting, you might be obsessively thinking about one thing: "Will another person's website hack my website?" I had the same concern when I was on cheap hosting with my WordPress blog until I learned about CageFS, and everything started to feel safer. Let me break it down for you in a simple way.
CageFS helps you by offering your site:
CageFS ensures that no other users can see your WordPress files or folders. This eliminates a significant security risk.
2. It Hides Dangerous Tools
It hides system tools that hackers often use. So even if someone tried to do something bad it would not reach your area.
3. It Keeps PHP Inside Your Area
Your WordPress PHP files run only in your own CageFS area. This helps prevent a cross-user attack on shared hosting.
