How to update your web tools?
The Ex2 web host offers you a wide range of web tools to allow you to create your website very easily and very quickly. However, these tools can act as a gateway for malicious users if they are not regularly updated. Updating your website regularly is indeed the best way to protect yourself from the majority of malware attacks and infections.
So when you need to update any of the software you have used, you will automatically receive an email notifying you of the availability of an update. It is therefore important that you record any change of email address, so that you can be sure that you receive all system emails, renewal reminders and update emails that will be sent to you.
