Website Security
A web application firewall filters malicious traffic at the edge, daily scans catch anything that slips past, and automatic removal cleans it up — built for people who do not want to become security experts.
Plans from $5.99/month — the price for every tier is printed below, renewals included.
Three tiers
Each tier covers one website. Higher tiers add more thorough monitoring and faster response.
Essential protection for one site.
Unlimited cleanups, DDoS protection and backup.
The highest level of cover.
Each button above continues to our storefront to complete the purchase. Pricing excludes applicable taxes and ICANN fees. Prices shown are first-term prices; the renewal price is shown on each plan before you pay.
What you get
You do not have to configure any of it. It is switched on when the plan is, and it keeps running whether you log in or not.
Every exposed site is probed constantly. The firewall filters that traffic before it reaches your files.
Files and database checked daily, so an infection is found in hours rather than by an embarrassed customer.
Detected malware is quarantined automatically. Higher tiers include unlimited removal and hack repair.
See what was blocked, when and from where — genuinely useful when working out what happened.
Search engines delist compromised sites quickly. Staying clean keeps you visible.
In plain English
Most security products bundle these together and describe them in one sentence. They are separate mechanisms doing separate things, and knowing which is which is the difference between understanding what you bought and hoping it works.
Every request that arrives — a visitor, a bot, an automated probe, an attack — is inspected before it reaches your web server. Traffic matching a known-bad pattern is turned away there, so the request never touches your files. This is the part that works instantly and continuously, because it is a filter rather than a search.
Scanning is a different job: reading your files and database and comparing them against known malicious code. It is heavier work, so it runs on a schedule rather than on every request — which is why the plan says daily rather than real time, and that wording is deliberate rather than a hedge.
The firewall stops the traffic that causes most trouble. The scan exists for what a filter cannot see: a file that was already compromised before you bought anything, or something planted by a route the firewall was not yet aware of. On its own, either one leaves a gap.
The file or database entry is quarantined so it cannot execute, then removed. Every tier keeps a log of what was found, blocked and when — which is the single most useful thing to have if you ever need to work out how a site was entered.
It protects your website. It is not antivirus for your own computer, and it does not secure your email account. On backups it depends on the tier: Standard is not a backup, while Advanced and Premium carry 25 GB and 200 GB of secure backup storage — and Website Backup exists as its own product when you need more. Those are three different problems with three different answers, and mixing them up is how people end up surprised.
Standard covers the basics. Advanced is the one that adds DDoS protection, a CDN and secure backup — which is what most people are actually buying when they move up.

All eight rows are the storefront's own bullets for that tier, listed without merging or shortening — check any of them against the product page. Standard's cleanup is annual; the two tiers above it are unlimited, which is the single biggest difference between them. The figures are the monthly prices. Pricing excludes applicable taxes and ICANN fees. Prices shown are first-term prices; the renewal price is shown on each plan before you pay.
The dashboard
You never have to watch it — it runs whether you log in or not. But when you do look, the whole picture is one screen.
If something does get through
This is the sequence after a detection — it runs whether or not you are awake, and it is the same on every tier.
The affected file or database entry is isolated first, so it stops executing. Nothing is deleted before it can be looked at.
A notification goes out with what was detected and where. You do not have to be watching the dashboard for it to be noticed.
Once removed, the site is checked to confirm it loads and works. Higher tiers include unlimited removal and repair for as long as the plan is active.
What was blocked, what was found and the timestamps stay in the log — the first thing anyone asks for when working out how the site was entered.
Good to Know:
What is in a plan — and what is not Backup storage starts at the Advanced tier (25 GB, rising to 200 GB on Premium); the Standard tier is not a backup at all. If you need more space, or backups without a security plan, Website Backup is a separate product. And this is not antivirus for your own computer, nor protection for your email account — it protects the website and nothing else.The awkward questions
Including the one about a firewall breaking your contact form, which does occasionally happen and is worth understanding up front.
Been hacked before?
Most security customers sign up after their first incident. Tell us what happened and we will make sure the same route in gets closed.
Sales and technical support, day or night — the number is answered around the clock.
