With OVHcloud, your hosting is monitored day and night to ensure the security of your websites.
Attacks, malware, human errors… Our web hosting includes automatic protections to keep your sites accessible, secure, and restorable at any time.
Anti-DDoS protection
Your sites remain accessible thanks to automatic defense against denial of service attacks.
HTTPS Encryption
Connections between your sites and your visitors are secured by SSL/TLS certificates enabled by default.
Smart firewall
Malicious requests are filtered before reaching your site to prevent any intrusion attempts.
Automatic backups
Your files and databases are backed up daily and can be restored up to 30 days back.
Ongoing threats
Every day, millions of websites suffer attacks of all kinds: DDoS attacks that saturate the server until it becomes inaccessible, intrusion attempts, malicious script injections, or even human errors like accidental file deletions. Our web hosting is designed to anticipate these risks, block threats before they affect you, and allow you to easily restore your site in case of an incident.
Security at every level
Our web hosting includes multiple layers of defense enabled by default. The DDoS protection keeps your sites accessible in the event of a massive attack, the HTTPS encryption protects data exchanges between your site and your visitors, and our application firewall blocks malicious requests.
Detect, block, restore: your sites remain under control
In case of detection of malicious files, automatic alerts inform you immediately and some functions may be temporarily blocked to prevent any spread. You then have simple tools to clean your site, restore a healthy version using automatic backups, and quickly restore its proper functioning.
Your questions answered
What can I implement in addition to OVHcloud's protections?
Our solutions cover the essentials of threats. However, some good practices can further enhance the security of your sites:
- keep your CMS (WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, etc.) and your plugins up to date;
- use complex and unique passwords;
- enable two-factor authentication (2FA);
- install a security module suitable for your CMS (Wordfence, Sucuri, etc.);
- schedule regular manual backups for peace of mind.
These simple actions complement the protection of your web host and ensure the longevity of your content.
How to detect suspicious activity on my websites?
Several built-in tools help you monitor your website's activity:
- access logs, to identify IP addresses, browsers, and pages viewed;
- error logs, to spot intrusion attempts or technical anomalies;
- traffic statistics, to track your traffic and its geographical distribution.
These tools allow you to quickly detect unusual behavior and respond accordingly.
How to secure my WordPress site with web hosting?
Each web hosting is fully compatible with WordPress and includes essential protections by default: web application firewall (WAF), free SSL/TLS certificates, automatic backups, and anti-DDoS protection.
To further enhance the security of your WordPress site, we recommend enabling two-factor authentication and using a security plugin (Wordfence, Sucuri, Solid Security, etc.). This way, you benefit from secure and high-performance web hosting, without complex configuration.
Is the web application firewall (WAF) available for all sites?
Yes, the web application firewall (Web Application Firewall or WAF, in English) is available on every web hosting. It protects your sites against the most common attacks, such as SQL injections or XSS scripts. The service can be complemented by our CDN Security solution, to enhance security and speed up the loading of your web pages.
Is DDoS protection included in all web hosting offers?
Yes. DDoS protection is enabled by default on all our offers, unlimited and at no extra cost. It continuously monitors traffic and automatically blocks malicious requests to keep your sites accessible, regardless of the attack. It is part of the free services included in your web hosting.
What happens if I accidentally delete a file or data?
No worries. We perform automatic backups of your files and databases, with restoration possible up to 30 days back. You can initiate the restoration directly from your client area, without technical support intervention. This is an additional guarantee for the continuity of your web hosting.
How does OVHcloud protect my data and that of my visitors?
Your data is hosted in our data centers in France, compliant with security and privacy standards. Connections are encrypted in HTTPS and backups are stored on a redundant infrastructure. You thus benefit from a reliable environment, compliant with GDPR standards and designed for the protection of your data.
We also provide you with a dedicated support team for any questions related to security or the management of your web hosting.
Is my shared site as well protected as a dedicated server?
Yes. Even on a shared web hosting offer, you benefit from a secure infrastructure: intelligent firewall, HTTPS encryption, daily backups, and continuous DDoS monitoring.
Dedicated servers offer more control and resources. They are therefore recommended for high-traffic sites or specific needs (e-commerce, cloud, etc.). Whatever offer you choose, security and availability remain at the heart of our hosting solutions.
How does web hosting influence the SEO of my site?
The choice of your web hosting has a direct impact on the natural referencing (SEO) of your site. A fast and stable hosting improves page loading times, a key criterion considered by search engines for ranking in their results.
The high availability of our servers ensures that your site remains highly accessible, avoiding downtime that can harm your visibility. Free SSL certificates, optimised storage, and efficient PHP management also ensure better SEO performance and a smooth experience for your visitors. OVHcloud web hosting helps your site gain visibility.
