How We Secure Your Website at Media Giant Hosting

Look, Website Security Ain’t Optional—It’s Mandatory.

If you don’t lock your doors at night, you’re inviting trouble. Same goes for your website. The internet is a wild place, full of hackers, bots, and bad actors looking to wreck your hard work. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back.

At Media Giant Hosting, we don’t just throw your site on a server and call it a day. We fortify it. We lock it down so tight even the best hackers will think twice. Here's exactly how we keep your website safe and running like a well-oiled machine.

Core Security Features – The Non-Negotiables

1. Free SSL Certificates – Because Unencrypted Sites Are a Joke

Think of an SSL certificate like a secret handshake between your website and your visitors. It encrypts data so no one can eavesdrop on what’s being exchanged. Without it, anyone can snoop in on passwords, credit card numbers, or even just basic customer info. That’s a massive risk.

Every website on our hosting platform gets an SSL for free because we’re not savages. You shouldn’t have to pay extra for something that’s essential.

2. ImunifyAV Malware Scanning & Removal – Your Site’s Silent Guardian

Malware sucks. It sneaks into your site, messes with your data, and sometimes even hijacks your content. That’s why we run ImunifyAV behind the scenes on our servers.

• Our administrators get alerted if something shady pops up.

• If your site gets infected, we’ll attempt to clean it using our tools.

• If the infection is bad, we’ll restore a clean backup (with your permission).

• In extreme cases, fixing it might require extra work—our sister company, Media Giant Design, can step in for an additional charge if needed.

The best part? You don’t have to lift a finger. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business.

3. Web Application Firewall (WAF) – The Digital Bouncer for Your Site

The web is full of bad actors trying to pull off SQL injections, XSS attacks, and brute-force logins. What does all that mean? It means hackers want to steal your data, break your site, or take control of it entirely.

Every hosting account comes with a built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) that is on by default. It cannot be turned off without contacting our support team. This firewall acts as a steel door for your website—keeping the riff-raff out and letting only legit visitors in.

4. Automated Security Patching – We Keep Everything Up-to-Date

Hackers love exploiting outdated software. We don’t let that happen.

• Our servers are patched constantly by our administrators.

• If you’re on Managed WordPress Hosting, we take it a step further.

  • Your WordPress core, plugins, and themes are kept updated by our team.

  • We keep daily backups—if an update ever breaks something, we restore your last backup and troubleshoot the issue.

  • If the issue is caused by a bad plugin or upgrade conflict, we’ll refer you to Media Giant Design to fix it.

5. DDoS Protection – Because Trolls Like to Take Sites Down for Fun

A DDoS attack is when someone floods your website with fake traffic to crash it. Why? Because some people just want to watch the world burn.

Our network is protected at the gateway level from DDoS attacks. Our systems detect and filter out malicious traffic before it can slow your site down. Your site stays up, and the trolls lose.

Backups & Recovery – Your Safety Net

6. Daily Automated Backups – Because Accidents Happen

Even the best of us make mistakes. Maybe you delete the wrong file. Maybe an update breaks something. Or maybe some hacker manages to slip through (unlikely, but hey, nothing’s 100%).

With daily backups, we can restore your site to yesterday’s version with zero hassle. We keep up to 30 days of backups for all our clients.

7. One-Click Restore – Hit Undo on a Disaster

Need to go back in time? Click a button, and boom—your site is back to the way it was before things went sideways.

Proactive Security Monitoring – Staying One Step Ahead

8. Real-Time Threat Detection – We’re Watching 24/7

Our security system is always on guard, scanning your site in real time for anything shady. If something looks off, we check it out before it becomes a problem.

9. Brute Force Protection – No, Bots, You Can’t Log In

Hackers and bots love trying random passwords until they break into your site. That’s called a brute-force attack. We shut that down fast:

• SSH logins are disabled by default – No console logins over SSH.

• FTP, SFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS are all protected with Fail2Ban – This automatically blocks repeated failed login attempts.

• Managed WordPress Hosting customers get extra protection – Your WordPress admin panel is protected by Fail2Ban too.

  • If you ever get locked out from too many failed logins, just contact support with your public IP address, and we’ll unblock you.

10. Secure Server Environment – Fort Knox for Your Website

We don’t just secure individual sites; we lock down the whole server to keep everyone safe. This includes:

• Isolated hosting environments – Your site is walled off from other sites.

• Encrypted connections – Everything stays locked up in transit.

• Server firewalls – Blocking suspicious IPs before they cause problems.

Final Thoughts: Your Website's Security is Our Priority

We don’t just host your site—we defend it. Hackers, bots, bad plugins, and security loopholes don’t stand a chance.

Running a website should be fun, not stressful. That’s why we handle the boring but critical security stuff, so you can focus on running your business, blog, or online empire.
