Your ultimate to-do list for improving your website security

[Jahangir655]

When choosing a new hosting provider or switching to another, research their hosting infrastructure and security measures. Check their website for technical security information or, better yet, contact them directly with specific questions.

At SiteGround , we not only provide all the essential security measures, but we go even further. Instead of running them standalone, we've built a central security system that ensures all our servers are protected at all times by constantly gathering and analyzing data from all the individual server security systems and distributing intelligent security rules, applied to all machines. At SiteGround, your website is safe thanks to:

24/7 server monitoring system that checks server status every 0.5 seconds, much more frequently than standard monitoring systems in our industry. In addition to detecting and resolving current issues, it automatically predicts and prevents a wide range of future problems.

An intelligent server-level web application firewall system rcs data turkey that monitors traffic and prevents hackers from exploiting popular CMS (content management systems) and their plugins. Our security team is constantly creating new custom security rules and adding them to our intelligent WAF (web application firewall) to protect websites hosted with us.

A powerful AI anti-bot system that stops malicious traffic before it reaches our customers' websites, blocking between 25 and 30 million brute force attacks per hour across all our servers.
Geographically distributed daily backups , stored in a different data center than the one hosting the actual account, and the premium backup service which provides up to 60 additional backup copies of our customers' websites and allows all backups to be downloaded to our customers' local machines.
The latest software versions, such as PHP 8.2 by default and MySQL 8 , are used on all SiteGround servers. It's important to keep your software up to date, as older versions inevitably become vulnerable to cyberattacks over time.
