Use the latest version
As with any other CMS, it is important that you always use the latest version. The newest versions are generally a lot safer and faster than older versions.
This is also the case for Umbraco, the latest version of Umbraco is 8.1.3. To use the latest Umbraco version you also need to use ASP.NET version 4.7.2.
At MijnHostingPartner this version is included under ASP.NET 4.0 and can be further adjusted in the control panel.If you still want to use an older version of Umbraco this is of course also possible.
You probably also want to use a mail function within Umbraco, at MijnHostingPartner this is possible through SMTP.This can be further configured in the web.config of Umbraco, here you also fill in our SMTP data.
Use the community forums
Umbraco is an incredibly popular content management system and therefore has a large number of users.On the Umbraco website you will also find a community forum where people are almost always ready to help you.
The forums can be further accessed at the following link: Umbraco forums.Besides the forums, you can of course always watch one of the many Umbraco videos on their website.You can find the website at the following page: Umbraco videos.
Security
As with any other CMS, you also need to pay attention to security, because you don't want someone to enter your system.A useful tip is to keep an eye on the number of login attempts and block them if there are too many.
You can for example keep an eye on the number of login attempts per user.If this is unusually high it could be that someone is trying to log in and you should also keep an eye on the IP address.
