If your contact details are listed on the WHOIS of your domain, except to receive postcards through the mail of companies claiming to be the company you registered your domain through. This is a scam. Know which companies you need to deal with. 2) Don't make your password easy enough for hackers to guess. Much like the need to change your router's login information from "admin/admin", if the back-end to your admin panel has an easy-to-guess password like "1234", "abc", or "password", you will get hacked.
