Secure Hosting

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
