Website Security
All the tools you need to secure your website.
Your reputation relies on a dependable, well-defended website. Make your site safe for visitors with top-of-the-line SSL encryption and insure it against any disaster imaginable with our automatic website backup solution.
SSL certificates
Your visitors need to know that they're interacting with you, and only you. An SSL certificate provides assurance that your visitor’s connection with your site is verified, encrypted, and unable to be modified in transit. Though not ultimately required, SSL certificates are necessary to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of your website’s data as it travels over the internet.
Website backup
Websites are vulnerable to many threats including natural disasters, malicious hackers, and plain human error. All these threats become a non-issue when you use our automatic website backup solution. Keep your site data safe in a secure remote location and restore a corrupted or compromised website back to its former glory at any time.

Frequently asked questions
- An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate safeguards your visitors' browsing sessions by establishing an encrypted connection between your website and the visitor's browser. When a visitor enters your site address in their browser, the browser first requests that your server identify itself. Your server then sends over a copy of its SSL certificate, which the web browser checks to see if it is legitimate. Once your site's identity is verified, the browser starts an encrypted connection with your website server and lets the visitor begin using your site safely and securely over the HTTPS protocol with secure SSL encryption.
- An SSL certificate protects visitors to your website from cybercriminals who attempt to steal credit card details, user credentials, and other sensitive information. It also prevents your website from being impersonated and modified for malicious purposes. Even if you only run a small personal blog, we strongly encourage you to add an SSL certificate to prove that your site is secure and safe to use. Not only that, but it also improves your search engine optimisation (SEO) as search engines prioritise SSL-secured sites. Once your SSL certificate is active, visitors will know that they are protected by the presence of a padlock icon next to your website address in their web browser, and your full site URL will now include HTTPS (secure) vs. HTTP (non-secure).
- While an SSL certificate reliably secures your website in several ways, it is not the be-all and end-all of website security. This is because it is only intended to verify your site's identity and protect your site's data while it is in transit to and from a visitor's browser. Importantly, it is not a substitute for regular malware scanning, an appropriately configured firewall, and due diligence when it comes to the security of the server itself, including choosing strong passwords and not sharing login or other sensitive credentials with untrusted third parties.
- Our automatic website backup solution copies all your website files and databases to a secure remote location on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Simply choose your schedule and our system will back up everything you need to restore your website in case of a hack attack, corrupted files and/or databases, or even the destruction of the server it was hosted on.
- You can easily restore your website from a previous backup with just one click on the backup admin dashboard. The complete restoration process might take a minute or two, depending on the amount of files stored on your server and the size of your database/s.
