John Hoff, of WPBlogHost, is a trusted service provider to PassingThru. Click here to visit his site. We chose John because of testimonials from other bloggers whose opinions we trusted.
John is a valiant first responder whenever we need assistance (including one notorious incident where I sent this blog into oblivion and he miraculously restored it). So we were pleased to be included among the group he selected to review his e-book and video project, WordPress Defender: 30 Ways to Secure Your Blog from Attack Anyone Can Do. Click here to view more details.
To be honest, I thought John’s attitude about security was a little over the top. When he began working on PassingThru, it seemed as though he was battening more hatches than we had. All of a sudden we were locked up against intruders like Fort Knox. I realize that my fear of all things technical had held PassingThru back from adequate protection. This realization hit home after I received two emails last week confirming John’s security features had prevented hackers from accessing PassingThru.
Anyone whose blog has been hacked knows the implications are greater than being temporarily disabled. Google may not like you any more, even though you’ve fixed yourself. All your hard work could be gone in an instant. Anti-virus and malware programs may treat you as a suspected site. Why wouldn’t you want protection against potential disability from predators like these?
I know John Hoff has forgotten more than I’ve ever known about blog security. Fortunately, he’s put his knowledge in a 150 page e-book and 14 bonus how-to videos that show you exactly how to implement the protections he recommends. The amount of comprehensive material in these resources is crazy – especially when you consider John’s offering them at 50% off through Wednesday, March 3, all for only $19.99.
John tells us: WordPress Defender isn’t some technical guide full of jargon that you can’t understand. I got so frustrated with that kind of stuff during my investigations that I swore the guide I wrote would be easy for everyone to read and that the security tactics would be so simple to implement that anyone – even brand-new bloggers and beginners – could use this guide.
WordPress Defender is written in everyday language that’s easy to follow. It’ll literally show you exactly how to turn your WordPress site from a prime hacker target into a locked-down fortress that’s impenetrable by anyone but you.
Even if you’re not currently blogging, but plan to, this is a good resource to have. For your twenty bucks (until Wednesday, March 3 – after which the price goes up), you get resources for which others well might charge hundreds of dollars. With John’s 30-day money back guarantee, this purchase is a no-brainer. Click here to purchase WordPress Defender.
I can’t recommend WordPress Defender highly enough. Whether this is your first interaction with him, or whether you’re already aware of his skills and customer service ethics, his personality and all-around good guy approach will confirm John Hoff is a great asset to have on your side.

It’s so sad that there are people with nothing better to do than to attack and destroy other people’s work. This sounds like a good solution. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Dot, I couldn’t agree with you more.
You know, the person who hacked my wife’s site a couple years ago before I got into all this sure didn’t care that her site helped buy diapers for our kids.
They don’t care about you, your family, or your blog. Just talking about them gets me frustrated!

Hi Betsy .. thanks I think it’s great .. I read the comments over on Davina’s – which for whatever reason came first …
Sounds like he’s on to a good thing .. I must get the book tomorrow .. and I know you had an horrendous time – I’d hate to lose my work .. even though it’s on blogger – can’t think of anything worse – all the sweat, effort getting it back ..
I encourage everyone to take advantage of John’s offer .. cheers Hilary
.-= Hilary´s last blog ..Alpha, Treacle, Beta, Dogger, Snow – what do they mean to you? =-.
I wonder how many of these hackers are narcissists?
Really… makes me wonder. Great review Betsy. John really is an all-round good guy. He takes care of my blog too and in the beginning, I was floored by everything he was doing. Same as you and your mention of Fort Knox… LOL. I’m still amazed and GRATEFUL at how this book has helped me understand better.
.-= Davina´s last blog ..Book Review: WordPress Defender =-.
@Hilary – Thanks for your support. Losing all your work would most definitely be a total nightmare, wouldn’t it? Luckily, Betsy’s blog wasn’t ready to go just yet! She’s a fighter
@Davina – I betcha a lot of them are narcissists. In fact, I’m almost sure of it.

Hi Dot – Glad to oblige! Thanks.
Hi John – You’re really charging too little for this e-book, you know! And the videos – insane value! Thanks for letting us be part of your launch.
Hi Hilary – Yes, you’re right, it was a nightmare when I realized I had deleted my entire blog. Worse, I had no idea if I could even get it back. John works miracles in my book. And he’s a nice guy to boot. Thanks.
Hi Davina – LMAO! Maybe all of them! They’re everywhere! LOL Seriously, though, isn’t it great to know somebody who believes in good old-fashioned customer service like John does? I want to deal with a person, not a company. So it works! Thanks.
@Betsy – I contemplated the price point for awhile. I know it’s worth more but I wanted every day bloggers to be able to afford it, not just A list bloggers and people with a lot of money.
Who knows, maybe it’ll go up one day.

Hi Roy.
Hmm… maybe their system is down for a few minutes? I assume you tried getting there from my Affiliate page located on my site, yeah?
If you can’t get it by the end of the day, let me know and I’ll contact E Junkie.
Wow you folks really blanketed the internet…I have the book…and am trying to work through with my IT to get the job done. I do back up my computer and blog every Friday….and I keep remembering how violated I felt when someone broke into my car and stole my income tax file I was taking to the accountant….worse yet they threw it all over 3 neighborhoods…
I can’t imagine how I would feel if someone did that to my blog..and writing.
IT girl is sometimes too busy to help me within my time frame.
so I worry….
Thanks for sharing this

I’ve been looking around passingthru.com and actually am impressed by the exceptional content material here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I’ve been coming right here for the past couple nights and reading. I simply wanted to let you know that I’ve been enjoying what I’ve seen and I look forward to reading more.
