Security

Protected from the start

Security is handled at the server level, so you don’t have to think about it.

• Free SSL certificatesLet’s Encrypt certificates are issued and renewed automatically for every domain.
• Server firewallA firewall blocks unwanted traffic and automatically bans IP addresses that attack our servers.
• Web application firewallEvery request to your site is checked against the OWASP Core Rule Set, which blocks common attacks like SQL injection and malicious code before they reach WordPress.
• Brute-force protectionRepeated failed logins to cPanel and email are blocked automatically.
• Separate accountsEach website runs PHP as its own user in its own PHP-FPM pool, kept apart from the others.
• Kept up to dateWe keep the operating system, cPanel and PHP patched and current.
• Spam and phishing filteringIncoming mail is scanned and scored before it reaches your inbox.
• Outgoing spam protectionSending limits and monitoring stop a hacked website from sending spam, which keeps our mail servers off blocklists so your email gets delivered.

Backups

Backups you don’t have to remember
