    What is the purpose of the hacker? Does he has some benefit? I don't understand why a simple website is the target for a hacker. You don't have valuable information there or anything else or do you?

    Update:
    I found this on a support site:
    You need to start working your way through these resources:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/268083#post-1065779
    http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.co...ely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/
    http://ottopress.com/2009/hacked-wordpress-backdoors/

    Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your site again.

    I use WPEngine for my WordPress hosting/Security. It's a really solid platform.

    I'm not too hot on WP, but…

    If you're looking for a small blog/site platform, you should check out Typed.com (it's what I work on at Realmac).
    I use it for my own personal site here: http://dancounsell.com - it's rock solid and you can be up and running in a few minutes.

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Nice one @dan_counsell, there is something to be said for using a lesser known solution, as a rule of thumb it is almost always less targeted by attackers. :)

    @Phill Mason we use cloud flare to speed up our site and the way it does that also provides security for our site
