DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are among the cyber threats that cause the most concern for website owners, freelancers, and web agencies. They are designed to cause prolonged disruptions to online services and are very difficult to block or mitigate.

Fireshield® integrates the DDoS protection solution by NETSCOUT®, which can detect even the most sophisticated types of attacks and implement targeted mitigation at the network, web server, or individual web application level. Your site will be protected 24/7, ensuring it remains fast and responsive even if hit by a DDoS attack.

We proactively block thousands of hacking attempts every day —even over HTTPS—using Apache’s mod_security module and custom rules created by our expert system administrators, constantly protecting your site from compromise attempts, viruses, and malware.

With the additional server-side integration of Fail2Ban, we monitor suspicious login attempts on web, database, and email services, immediately and automatically blocking malicious IP addresses across our entire shared hosting and dedicated cloud infrastructure, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The more widely used the web applications you use to develop your site are, the more likely they are to be targeted by a brute-force attack, which aims to guess the login passwords for the backend (admin area) of your CMS.

Fireshield® incorporates a system known as "Challenge," which blocks automated brute-force password attacks targeting the backends of popular CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla!, and PrestaShop, as well as comment and contact forms.

With Fireshield®, we drastically reduce spam interactions and fake contact requests, saving you from wasting time on unnecessary tasks.

We provide all our customers with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which is automatically installed when setting up any shared or dedicated hosting service. The SSL certificate secures data transmission for the primary domain name and any activated subdomains.

You can also choose from a wide range of commercial SSL certificates, which undergo a much more thorough validation process of the organization or company that registered the domain name, thereby ensuring its ownership and absolute reliability.

We also protect your WordPress site at the application level by proactively updating plugins that are affected by critical vulnerabilities.

When vulnerabilities can be exploited with minimal or no authentication and affect very popular plugins installed by thousands of users, we proceed with automatically updating them, providing you with an additional layer of security beyond what is provided on the server side.
