How does the choice of web hosting and domain registrar impact website security and data privacy, and what steps can be taken to enhance these aspects for a website's visitors and users?

There have been many incidents where large web hosting and domain registrar companies like GoDaddy one of the world's largest domain registrars suffered security breaches. We as consumers should follow privacy and security practices like backing up important data and enabling two-factor authentication. The companies also should focus more on the privacy and security of their data.

The choice of your hosting type will have a great impact on data security and privacy. For example, if you are on a shared hosting, you will be sharing servers with other users and your data might be easily compromised. Upgrading to better packages like VPS and Dedicated Servers will help you tackle the issue.
