I disagree. WP pushes security updates up often. There's a huge emphases on security with each major update as well. It's poor plugin development that opens up other security issues. Plus the damn thing powers 25% of the websites on the internet, of course it's a big target. I have seen tons of WP sites hacked, all literally all were on shared hosting or way way out of date, which turns out is the main issue here, not WP.

Have you worked with WooCommerce in the past? It's scary.
Perhaps less so if you use a wordpress hosting service.
Are you actually e-40?
Are you asking me if I'm E-40 the rapper? What do you think the chances of that are?
Haha, I am. I think probably pretty low. But I thought maybe. I'm a programmer who does music as well so it could be! haha
Please explain.
A wordpress hosting service does one thing, maintain WP. They live and breath it. They apply important updates right away. They are more secure than my WP would be, since I don't live and breath it. And, if I'm using a WP hosting service and they get owned, no skin off my nose. I have daily backups of my WP site, so I can move to another one that is more secure, should my current hosting service prove unreliable.
What about security?
And what maintenance? Hitting update every few weeks?
