This is a good overview, I would consider mentioning that good security should also be backed by good backup strategy in case of an incident, you can quickly recover from your backups.

There maybe should be a mention that some hosting providers provide server level security such as malware scanning or PatchStack security included with your managed host.

Tutorial/Lessons Review Checklist

• Learning outcomes/objectives are clear.
• Technical concepts introduced in the content are accurate.
• The speed of demonstrations are easy to follow.
• The narration audio matches what is shown visually.
• Spelling and grammar are correct.
• Sound quality is consistent throughout the video.
• Brand Usage Guidelines and Promotional Guidelines are being followed.
• Media assets are all in the public domain (CC0).

That's a solid overview of the essentials.

1. At 1:31, there's something that looks like a little hovering icon over the slide. Not sure if it's intentional :-)
2. The topic description above mentions SSL, which isn't covered in the lesson:

Topic description: a)Ask a host for SSL Certificates (what it is, how it works, why they want one), b) Add your own SSL Certificate etc.

Would this be presented in a separate lesson?
