Secure Hosting

We keep your sites fast, safe and always online

● Comprehensive Website Security: Wildcard SSL certificates, malware scanning,


file permissions checker, and WordPress checksum reporting ensure robust
protection for your site and its subdomains.
● Data Protection & Compliance: PCI-compliant servers for safe transactions, secure
data centres with ISO27001 certification, and advanced email security with anti-virus,
anti-spam, and DKIM authentication.
● Defence Against Cyberattacks: DDoS protection, brute-force login defence, web
application firewall, two-factor authentication, and visitor blocking to shield your site
from malicious threats.

A Platform Built For Maximum Security


Our platform is designed with security and performance at its core. Our unique server setup
ensures your website stays online and protected, no matter the circumstances.

Autoscaling for Maximum Uptime


Cyber-attacks can drain hosting resources, even if they don’t succeed. With our autoscaling
technology, any surge in demand is managed automatically, ensuring your site remains fast
and operational. Unlike other hosts, issues affecting neighbouring sites won’t impact yours.

Redundancy at Every Level


Our platform is built with no single point of failure. If any hardware, software, or network
component fails, automatic failover ensures services are quickly restored, protecting your
site from downtime and data loss.

Dedicated Server Roles for Enhanced Security


Each server in our infrastructure is specialised: web servers handle websites, MySQL
servers manage databases, and email servers process email. This isolation prevents
attackers from gaining full access in case of a breach, keeping your data secure and
separate.
Security tools to save time, money and your reputation
When it comes to securing your website, our comprehensive range of tools protects your
data, users, and online reputation. Our advanced security features range from free SSL
certificates to enterprise-level DDoS protection, ensuring your websites remains safe,
compliant, and always online.

Wildcard SSL Certificates


An SSL certificate is vital for any website that processes information, such as through
contact forms. SSL ensures the protection of data by encrypting the connection between the
user and the website server, identifiable by the 'https://' prefix in the URL. Besides enhancing
security, SSL certificates also improve your website’s search engine ranking, as Google uses
SSL as a signal of quality. Our Wildcard SSL certificates cover all subdomains, offering a
broad layer of protection across your site.

Data Centre Security


Our data centres are secured to the highest standards, certified by ISO27001:2013.
Features include redundant power supplies, gated access with photo ID and swipe card
entry, and 24/7 CCTV monitoring, ensuring your site remains operational and secure at all
times.

PCI Compliance
Our servers meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards, essential for online stores that
handle card payments. Regular audits ensure that we comply with the strict security
requirements set by major credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard, keeping your
transactions safe.

Malware Scanning
Malware can lead to serious issues like identity theft or data loss. Our malware scanning
service checks your website daily, alerting you to any potential threats. You can also perform
scans on demand, providing immediate confirmation that any issues have been resolved.

WordPress Checksum Report


As WordPress is frequently targeted by hackers, we offer a checksum test that compares the
version of WordPress on your site with the official repository. This test helps identify any
unauthorised changes, allowing you to address potential vulnerabilities before they can be
exploited.

File Permissions Checker


Having the correct file permissions is critical to ensuring that unauthorised users cannot
access or alter your website data. Our file permissions checker monitors your settings and
offers recommendations to resolve any potential security risks.

Enterprise-level DDoS Protection


DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks can flood a server with fake traffic, making your
website inaccessible to real users. Our DDoS protection service mitigates these attacks,
handling even the most severe cases with a capacity of over 1 terabit per second.

Email Security
We protect your inbox by scanning for viruses and malware before emails reach you.
Anti-spam filters help block unwanted messages, and our email servers use DKIM
authentication to prevent email spoofing, giving you and your recipients peace of mind.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)


Our web application firewall protects against common attacks like SQL injection and
cross-site scripting. By scanning incoming traffic for malicious activity, the firewall prevents
criminals from exploiting vulnerabilities in your applications.

Two-Factor Authentication
To safeguard your website, we offer two-factor authentication for StackCP and tools to
generate strong passwords. You can also password-protect sensitive areas of your site and
lock down FTP access.

Brute-Force Login Protection


We defend against brute-force attacks, where automated software attempts to guess your
password. Our platform includes StackProtect, which monitors log-in attempts to your
website and checks for potential external, automated requests.
Blocking Visitors
Need to block certain visitors from your site? Our tools allow you to block traffic from specific
countries or IP addresses, helping you maintain control over who can access your content.
