Securing a website on shared hosting

Keep software updated: the application, plugins and PHP version.
Use strong, unique passwords for cPanel, FTP, database and admin accounts, and turn on two-step verification where offered.
Keep private files private. Files such as .env must never be reachable from a browser. UPIPayments ships rules that return 403 for them; check by opening the address yourself.
Correct permissions: folders 755, files 644, never 777.
Block scripts in upload folders, as UPIPayments does for public/uploads.
Back up regularly and keep one copy off the server.
