Discover how we secure your website
One of the features of using WordPress for websites is the robust security features that help websites to filter out spams and online attacks. However, these features will be useless unless website owners know how to make use of these security features to harden their WordPress websites.
The other aspects to keep our websites safe are to use a good SSL certificate that will automatically renew and look at how using reverse proxy can keep our IP address safe from prying eyes.
It is important to keep our websites safe for obvious reasons if we are serious in establishing online presence as users do not want to be infected with malwares visiting compromised websites. Furthermore, search engines such as Bing or Google will flag out compromised websites or drop them from the SERPs totally.
Customers who host their websites with us can be assured that their websites are hosted in reliable and safe web hosting servers that meet the demands of modern internet security threats.

SSL Certificate
Modern browsers such as Firefox or Chrome will flag a website as unsafe if there are not valid SSL cert. This is a major turn off for users’ experience as they will be wary of security warnings and leave the website. This also affects the website bounce rate badly.
Forced non secure HTTP to HTTPS Redirect
The server will force connection to be encrypted if a url call from the users' browsers is non secure. This is to ensure all traffic is secure over HTTPS protocol. It is especially important if your websites process sensitive customers' personal information such as ID numbers, credit card details or other personal details.
Server firewall
The server hosting clients’ websites are configured to close any vulnerable ports that are popular targets for hackers to plan cyber attacks on websites. The firewall is also able to identify suspicious traffic trying to access the websites and stop the traffic before it is able to do some harm to clients' websites.
Cloudflare for WordPress
Cloudflare is a web performance and security company providing many services to organizations and businesses. WordPress websites can be easily configured to set up a reverse proxy to your web server IP address from the internet. Without knowing your actual IP address, potential attackers will have a harder time launching a DDoS attack to the web server.

Web server origin IP address will be masked to make it harder attackers to locate.
