could deter spammer but hackers would probably give more of a challenge.
Before looking at SSL etc look at your code, or your hosts set up, if the hacker was able to set up a sub domain then you have serious issues that need sorting, find and mend the entry point/s first, make sure all passwords are numbers and letters ie: at2h4i0ot (meaningless numbers and letters), youd be surprised how many people use 'password' as the actual password.
