In the ever-evolving world of digital technology, security threats are omnipresent. At Rapyd Hosting, we understand the paramount importance of ensuring that your server and website are protected from potential risks. In this article, we'll delve into the various measures we implement to fortify server and website security.

1. Server-Level Security:

  • Firewalls: All servers under Rapyd Hosting come equipped with advanced firewalls, ensuring a first line of defense against malicious attempts.

  • DDoS Protection: We employ real-time DDoS detection and automatic mitigation tools. This means if there's an unusual surge in traffic attempting to overwhelm the server, our systems kick in immediately to neutralize the threat.

  • Regular Patches & Updates: Our team consistently monitors and applies the latest security patches to ensure the server software remains up-to-date.

  • Server Hardening: We undertake rigorous server hardening practices, including disabling unnecessary services, setting up ModSecurity rules, and ensuring only essential ports are open.

2. Website-Level Security:

  • SSL Certificates: Every website hosted on Rapyd is provided with a free SSL certificate, ensuring that data transmitted between the website and its users is encrypted.

  • Malware Scanning & Removal: Our systems regularly scan websites for malware. If any threat is detected, it's promptly quarantined and removed.

  • Backups: Automatic daily backups are conducted, ensuring that in the rare event of data loss or corruption, your website can be swiftly restored.

  • Content Delivery Network (CDN): By integrating with leading CDNs, we ensure not only faster content delivery but also an added layer of security against threats.
