A business grade firewall in front of every WordPress site
You might be surprised to learn that most hosting does not include a firewall. Ours does, on every plan, and it is managed for you.
How it works
Web application firewall
Blocks hackers, bots and common attacks before they reach WordPress, using rule sets built on the OWASP standards.
Brute force protection
Repeated login attempts are stopped at the edge.
Cloudflare in front
A second layer of filtering and DDoS protection sits at Cloudflare.
Which plans include it
| Plan | Business grade firewall |
|---|---|
| Basic Managed Hosting | Included |
| Fully Managed Hosting | Included |
| Bulk Hosting | Included |
Business grade firewall FAQ
Do I still need a security plugin?
In most cases no. Heavy security plugins also slow a site down.
What customers say
Very professional, efficient and quick service. Brendan and Ash both very responsive and kept me up to date.
Best and fastest service in this business.
Very happy with the work they did to optimize the caching and speed on the website. They also debugged some weird issues that I was having related to caching plugins.
