Security & backups
Protection you don’t have to think about
SSL, daily backups, updates and spam protection keep your website, your email and your customers’ data safe.
Security builds trust
Customers expect the padlock in their browser, and search engines rank secure sites higher. Behind the scenes, regular updates and reliable backups are what keep a website safe from attacks and accidents.
All of this is included when we host your website.
How we keep you safe
-
SSL certificates
Every site we host has free, auto-renewing HTTPS. Extended Validation (EV) and other certificates are available if you need them.
-
Daily backups
We back up your website every day and keep copies for up to a month, so we can roll back if anything goes wrong.
-
Updates
We keep WordPress or Joomla, themes and plugins up to date to close security holes quickly.
-
Spam & blacklist monitoring
We filter spam and watch for blacklisting, so your emails reach your customers’ inboxes.
Security FAQs
Contact us straight away. We can restore a clean copy from our daily backups, find out how the attacker got in and close the gap so it doesn’t happen again.
For most websites, the free Let’s Encrypt certificate is all you need – it gives the same encryption as a paid certificate. Paid certificates add organisation validation or a warranty, which some businesses prefer.
