I already keep my site updated with the newest versions and back up regularly. What other methods are available to keep my sites safe from being hacked?

If you can installing a sniffing application like snort is a very good way of protecting against attacks.
Using a repository system to back up your site structure is also a good idea.
Tortise for SVC is a good app for that.

Snort will n0t protect you from being haxd'ed
Sounds like something a AntiOnline member would d0 4 suckurity

Infact, you should ask them about |The|Specialist and they'll tell j00 sum interesting tings about him and keeping websites online 'n stuffz.

SNort is the industry standard IDS system.
It wont stop a skilled hacker but should stop most wannabe "l33t haxd ers" (n stuffz) Roll Eyes

Actually a horrid response would be saying this is a grown up conversation.
Welcome Back Wink
Well that didnt work  Roll Eyes

Snort is good because it will protect against most automated forms of attacks.
In fact since you can update your own snort rules you can specify that it denies access to anything that isnt specified in a ruleset.
You can create your own rulesets to lock down a system or server tighter than a japanese virgin.
Saying snort will not protect you, is like saying a firewall will not protect you.

lol!
my best tip for not having your site hacked is use a popular web host Grin, I wouldn't dare host a site on my server especially as I don't know much about website security :p.
