Secure Server Hosting

Secured Server Features

It is our goal to persistently take the required actions to squash security threats before they potentially develop into something larger so you have a secure server . A2 Hosting’s Perpetual Security demands web hosting protection that is unrelenting, constant and ceaseless. Below are some of the functions and applications that help us to meet this demand.

• HackScan -HackScan runs 24/7/365 on your account working to block attacks BEFORE they can damage site.
• KernelCare – KernelCare is a solution that allows us to update your kernel with the latest security updates on a daily basis without requiring us to reboot your server.
• Reinforced DDoS Protection – Our (distritubed denial of service) DDoS defense solution provides high scale capacity, instant attack detection and mitigation. This improves the likelihood that your site will remain online during even the most sophisticated distributed denial of service attacks.
• Hosting Firewall – Your A2 Hosting account includes an overall network firewall with an additional server firewall to block unauthorized users and secure vulnerabilities. Your server’s firewall deflects threats that manage to penetrate our network’s firewall.
• Brute Force Defense – A2 Hosting persistently monitors and blocks attacks occurring in programmed sequences that attempt to break into our network.
• Auto-Heal Hosting Protection – Auto-Heal Protection ensures our default network settings and configuration files are properly configured at all times. If a default setting is altered, our secure hosting with Auto-Heal Protection automatically changes them back to the default configuration.
• Virus Scanning – Our secure web hosting accounts offer free, easy-to-use virus scanning within each cPanel control panel.
• Limited Server Access – A2 Hosting’s staff uses keys, not passwords, to access servers. Keys have a significantly lower chance of being stolen and reduce the risk of unauthorized server access.
• Server Hardening – A2 Hosting disables non-mission critical server components to decrease potential server exploits. We further reduce potential exploits by maintaining the most current security patches and updates on your server.
• Secure Data Center – Data center visitors require both a security card to enter our datacenter’s parking lot and a separate card to enter the physical data center. Each server is fully enclosed by cages where keys are required to access the server. Data center security is further enhanced with video surveillance.
• Additional Security Monitoring – Your account is protected by additional applications monitoring for strange activity and automatically eliminate processes that could potentially lead to harmful activity.
