So I have this website and I have no idea what I'm doing - Developers

[URL="http://www.tutorial-cat.com"]www.tutorial-cat.com[/URL] I started a website where I wanted to host video tutorials for Valve's Hammer Editor, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong... As you can tell, there's not much to it. I just whipped something up and had it published not too long ago (from posting this anyway). I have no website hosting experience, but I do have some HTML experience. How do I know how "secure" my website is from attacks? What happens if someone steals my content and claims it as their own? How would I add a Donate button to the website? If anyone has any experience with this stuff, please help me. I would really like to get this thing started off, and I'm kind of already there...

Adding a Donate button is simple really. Add an image of a Donate button. Eg. <img src='donate.jpg'> or whatever. Then link that image to some sort of paypal page.

I got the donate button set up. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how I want to go about adding the tutorials in.

Alright, it's gone.

If someone steals your content you need to file a report if you have copyright. Depends how secured your host is from such attack.

I have no idea what any of that means V:v:V [editline]18th April 2012[/editline] So just what harm could you inflict on my website when you break into it like that?

Well that's certainly not good. How might I prevent that from happening?

[QUOTE=slayer20;35619135]Well that's certainly not good.

The fact he has the hostname blurred out makes it even less convincable [editline]18th April 2012[/editline] And i highly doubt you're running a VPS with linux to host your site, or your site host is not even able to protect themselves

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;35619301]He could fuck up your website easily[/QUOTE] There you go, corrected.

If its just a regular website i would consider adding in a HTML5 video tag, HTML5 is like the new version of HTML and has much more features

[QUOTE=Jelly;35644776][/QUOTE] I see no reason to feel bad, as i actually tried to help the OP out.

Well ok, in answer to the OP's question, the point I was trying to make is that in its current state, it is not really susceptible to hacking. As soon as you include a scripting language, it becomes more of a risk (depending on what you're doing). If someone steals your content, then theres not much you can really do (although I suppose it depends on how serious it is)
