Customized Website Protection
Ongoing Monitoring
Our proactive approach involves regular website security scans and constant monitoring for potential vulnerabilities and risks. We don’t just inform you of issues — we take swift action to ensure those issues don’t lead to catastrophic damage. Moving forward, we’ll recommend steps you can take to prevent these events from occurring again.
Real-Time Website Protection
The faster we act, the greater the chance of isolating and eliminating risks and vulnerabilities. That’s why we focus on delivering real-time website protection. While we can’t eliminate risks completely, we can ensure we see them as and when they occur — helping us to remove them before they wreak havoc.
Ready for the Latest Cyberthreats
The world of cybercrime and data theft never stands still. But neither do we. We are constantly monitoring the latest threats to ensure we’re ready to take them down. What’s more, we know the threats that pose a risk to the world’s leading CMS platforms, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and many others.
Customizable Website Protection
Only a custom web security package can deliver complete protection, because a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work. Therefore, when you choose RootHosts, you get a customized set of measures that protects your online infrastructure and sensitive data.
We offer three website security packages, all of which involve the following measures:
Basic Website Protection
At RootHosts, our website protection keeps your site safe and operational with cutting-edge tools tailored to your needs. From blocking threats to enabling quick recovery, it gives small businesses and larger companies alike real peace of mind.
- Firewall: Stops unwanted or suspicious traffic to keep your site secure.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Guards against attacks like SQL Injection and XSS.
- Rate Limiting: Blocks brute-force and DoS attempts to maintain performance.

Website Protection with Post-Attack Recovery
If the worst happens and attackers hit your website, our team will spring into action to minimize the damage. Our post-attack recovery process is meticulous and comprehensive, and it significantly reduces the chances of the same type of attack happening again in the future.

DNS (DNSSEC) Hosting
Our DNS (DNSSEC) hosting protection solutions protect your domains with advanced measures and tools. If there’s a vulnerability, we’ll find it and close it down.
SSL, Network and Firewall
We take a range of measures to protect your online infrastructure and data, including the use of SSL certifications, various network security tasks, and robust firewalls. Nothing is left to chance when RootHosts is your first line of defence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Website Protection Packages and Features
Every website protection package includes a firewall, a Web Application Firewall (WAF), rate limiting against brute-force and DoS attempts, IP filtering and geo-blocking, daily antivirus and malware scanning, and backup solutions for fast restoration if something does go wrong.
Basic Website Protection is ongoing, preventive security — firewall, WAF, malware scanning, and backups running continuously to stop attacks before they cause damage. Post-Attack Recovery is our response service for a site that has already been compromised: attack analysis, cleanup, restoration, and hardening to prevent a repeat incident. Many clients start with recovery after an attack, then move to ongoing protection to stay covered going forward.
A WAF sits in front of your website and filters incoming traffic, blocking common web-based attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and local file inclusion (LFI) before they can reach your code or database. It's one of the most effective ways to stop attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in your CMS, plugins, or custom code.
We monitor and defend against threats targeting all the major CMS platforms, including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart, as well as custom-built websites.
