tl;dr:

• WP is not awful. It is a very useful piece of software. But its security vulnerabilities are real and largely unavoidable.
• A managed server will be much, much better for security than a shared server. There is really no point in fancy security measures on a shared server. But “hardening” is not a simple or straightforward task. There is no “one-click” solution.
• Hiring (or becoming) a good sysadmin is the only final solution.
