I'm thinking of using wordpress.org software for a site I'm working on? Do you know if they use that stuff ?
|
WordPress is PHP, and it is very solid and secure with a dedicated backbone of developers.

what's a content management system?
|
A script or program that allows you to add content... text, photos, videos and etc from an admin back-end.. like posting on AFF, rather than developing pages in Dreamweaver or hand coding.

I'm getting the sense that no-matter what you do as a site owner, it mostly comes down to the host, and how intensely they work to protect your data. Is that a fair statement?

Not entirely. MOST script kiddie hacks come through exploits in scripts on the user domain. JP is using an older version of vbulletin, that may be how they were defaced.
Not much the host can do on the backend can prevent that.
There are also aditional ways to add extra security, such as a double login system for admin areas. There is a word press addon that hardens the admin login for word press I can give you if you go that way.
