Protect the connection
SSL certificates are included with our listed web and WordPress plans. HTTPS encrypts the connection between a visitor and the website.
Hosting security
Good foundations for a safer website.
Understand the protection included with your hosting, then keep your website, accounts and recovery plan working alongside it.
The practical picture
Security works in layers.
Hosting security protects the platform and the services it provides. Website security also depends on application updates, access controls, extensions and the way your team handles information.
Keep the application maintained
Our WordPress plans list malware scanning. Keep the site’s themes, plugins and core software current, and review anything that no longer needs to be installed.
Keep a route to recovery
Daily backups are listed with our web and WordPress plans. Understand what is covered and how to restore, and keep any additional business-critical copies you need.
The details that matter
Several layers. One clear plan.
Protect the account
Use unique passwords and the available multi-factor authentication. Give each person their own appropriate access and remove it when they no longer need it.
Maintain the application
Keep supported software current and review unnecessary plugins or extensions. Infrastructure protection works alongside application maintenance; it does not replace it.
Recognise what HTTPS does
A valid certificate protects data in transit to the website. It does not prove that every application feature is secure or that the site has been independently audited.
Know the recovery route
Keep suitable backups and a contact route outside the affected site. If you suspect an incident, preserve useful evidence and agree the recovery steps before making broad changes.
Made for the working day
The right habits make the tools more useful.
Use strong, unique account credentials and the extra sign-in protection available to you. Give access only to the people who need it, and review it when roles change. If something looks wrong, contact us through the agreed support route with the affected domain and a clear description. Do not send passwords through an ordinary message.
Talk through your requirements
A little clarity
Hosting security, explained.
Useful answers before you decide. For anything specific to your website, let’s talk it through.
Does SSL mean a website is completely secure?
SSL protects data in transit. It does not guarantee that the site’s code, content or business is safe, and it does not replace application maintenance.
Does malware scanning include repairing a hacked website?
Detection and repair are different tasks. Contact us to establish what has happened and agree any investigation or clean-up work.
Who secures an unmanaged VPS?
Your technical team is responsible for the operating system, installed software and server security. Choose a service and support arrangement that fits the expertise available to your business.
