Security

Secure by default. Always.

Security isn't a plugin you bolt on or a setting you remember to flip. On HostRails, every protection is on from the first minute — managed by us, monitored around the clock.

Defense in depth

Layers of protection, all handled for you.

We protect your site at every level — the network, the server, the application, and your data — so a single weak point can't bring everything down.

Network & firewall

A managed firewall and DDoS mitigation filter malicious traffic before it ever reaches your site.

Hardened servers

Isolated environments and secure-by-default server configuration keep sites separated and locked down.

Continuous patching

WordPress core and plugins are updated automatically, closing known vulnerabilities the day they're disclosed.

Encryption everywhere

Free, auto-renewing SSL on every domain means all traffic to and from your site is encrypted end to end.

Resilient backups

Daily snapshots stored off your live server, so you can recover instantly from anything — even a mistake.

Active monitoring

We watch for malware, anomalies, and downtime around the clock and act before small issues become outages.
