I run a moderately sucessful ecommerce site. Fairly simple product site with
a little over 100 items all of the same gender. All the requisite pages,about
us,privacy, cart,opt in, order management, etc, are in place and working well.

In this day and age of hacks, google slaps,malware, spyware it is smart to pay
someone to monitor my site and keep it as safe and operational as possible?

On a scale of 1 to 10 I am probably a 6 when it comes to the more technical matters and some of the time I feel a little lost spotting and fixing problems
and avoiding some of the more sublte intrusions and Google missteps

Also what would be the price range of such a service? Thanks!...KF

There's probably a service that can do this relatively cheap? I personally don't know whether to do it or not.

I'm not sure about services that monitor scripts in your site, but server-wise there are fairly good and cheap ($25-$30+) companies that will harden your server and patch your control panel applications and such.

I recently came across a security scan that would send a bot to your site and try to probe it for basic vulnerabilities. It was a downloadable program and made my computer run really slow, I cannot remember the name of it though.

If I remember correctly it was made by one of the big security companies.
