Website Security

Website Security lets you set up your site’s security scanning frequency, install your SSL Certificate and monitor your site for malware and other online security threats — all from one dashboard.

Your SSL Certificate is built into the Web Application Firewall (WAF) that’s included with Website Security.

Depending on your Website Security Suites plan, you can choose from a 30 minute, 12 hour or once-a-day security monitoring and scan frequency. If any malware is found, you’ll be notified immediately.

Yes — while an SSL certificate encrypts data being transmitted to and from your website, it doesn’t protect your site from other vulnerabilities, such as malware, SQL injections or DDoS attacks. By utilizing both an SSL and Website Security, you’re ensuring that all aspects of your site are protected.

A WAF is a cloud-based firewall service that screens and protects your real-time website traffic from threats like SQL injection attacks (malicious data that essentially tricks your site into doing something it shouldn’t) and DDoS attacks (crashes your site by overwhelming it with a flood of automated traffic). WAF only takes a few minutes to set up and is the front-line defense for your site in between Website Security scans.

A CDN is a network of servers around the world that deploy dynamic and static caching so that all content will render quickly and reliably. For example, if someone in Japan visits your site that’s hosted in the US, it’ll load just as quickly as a website hosted in Japan.
