Secure web hosting

Our solutions address the core aspects of threats. Still, you need some good practices to significantly enhance your sites’ security, mainly by:

• keeping your CMS (WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, etc.) and your plugins up-to-date;
• using complex and unique passwords;
• enabling two-factor authentication (2FA);
• installing a security module suitable for your CMS (Wordfence, Sucuri, etc.);
• scheduling regular manual backups for peace of mind.

These basic steps elevate your web host’s security and guarantee your content lasts.

You can track your website’s activity with a variety of built-in tools:

• access logs, to identify IP addresses, browsers, and pages viewed;
• error logs, to spot intrusion attempts or technical anomalies;
• traffic statistics, to monitor your visitors and their locations.

These tools allow you to quickly detect unusual behaviour and respond accordingly.

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 improve 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.

The web hosting you choose directly impacts how well your site ranks (SEO) organically in search engine results. Fast and stable hosting speeds up page loads, which is a key factor search engines use to determine search result rankings.
