With our Website Security Service, your website is scanned and checked at different intervals for malware and other cybersecurity issues negatively affecting your website. These include checkpoints such as uptime, server state, as well as if your website is blacklisted.

If any issues are discovered when your website is scanned, your website will be cleaned and you will be notified with an alert along with a suggested course of action to resolve all other security issues. So not only is your website automatically protected, but you are alerted immediately for any cybersecurity threats that require attention.

Yes, Website Security is meant to be both simple to set up and use. From a single dashboard, you can do everything from setting up your SSL certificate, monitor your site for malware or other online threats, and manage your website’s scanning frequency.

Yes, it will. Even if your site is hosted with a different company, Website Security will still be compatible in the majority of cases. In addition, whether your website is built on a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, or is custom coded, Website Security will still provide protection as normal.

With all Website Security plans, your SSL certificate is built directly into the Web Application Firewall (WAF) that is part of your overall plan.

Under all plans, your website is scanned at least once a day. However, depending on your plan, you may choose to have your site scanned at 12-hour intervals, 30-minute intervals, or once daily in frequency. In the event any threats are found that require attention, you will receive a notification through email.

Yes. While an SSL certificate does add a layer of security to your website by establishing a secure connection and protecting user data through encryption, it doesn’t protect your site against other common cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Adding a Website Security Service onto a website that has an SSL certificate is the best way to ensure your site has well-rounded cybersecurity protection. You ensure defense against malware, SQL injections and DDoS attacks – all things you don’t on your website.

During the cleanup process, Website Security will backup and retain files that are modified for a short period of time. However, for a more complete solution for website backup and data protection, please see our Website & Data Backup plans.

A WAF is a cloud-based firewall that acts as the first line of defense for the cybersecurity of your website. It helps protect your site by screening traffic and defending against threats like DDoS attacks, SQL injections, as well as other types of spam.

A CDN is network of proxy servers and data centers that are geographically distributed globally. The benefit with content delivery networks is that they allow your site to load on servers that are closest to your visitors, geographically. Because of this, your site will load faster as a result.

For example, if your website is hosted on the west coast, but someone on the east coast visits your site, it will load just as fast for that visitor on the east coast as it would for a visitor on the west coast because the site will load on a server that is closer to that visitor on the east coast.

If a website has already been compromised, or hacked, it’s not necessarily too late, but it is best to try and resolve the issue sooner rather than later. Website Security Express is going to be the best and fastest option to resolve issues for sites that have already experienced some sort of cybersecurity breach.
