How To Prevent Website Hacking with Sucuri

The Internet is a big place, and not everybody using it has good intentions. From the moment you launch your web site, your business opens itself up to thousands of potential threats. From hackers who hope to deface your web site to those who attempt to steal your confidential data with sophisticated phishing attempts, keeping your web hosting one step ahead is essential. While GlowHost keeps your server secured and updated on a several-times daily basis, what is often neglected by web site owners is maintaining their private web space…the web site itself. Running outdated scripts, apps or plugins on a web site is the #1 cause of web site hacks today.

Sucuri-enhanced web hosting from GlowHost mitigates the threats that face your web site and give you peace of mind that your site and your data is safe.

Site Assurance from GlowHost with Sucuri provides:

• Routine monitoring and scanning of your web site to detect signs of attack
• Instant alerts to GlowHost support when your site has been suspected of a compromise
• Automatic malware removal attempts should an attacker breach your security
• FREE Rapid repair of your web site by human security specialists in the event of a compromise
• FREE backup restoration from GlowHost’s weekly or daily snapshot if needed
• Internal blacklist to restrict access from known attackers and exploits
• Automatic removal of your web site from malware blacklists after repair has been completed

Since 2009 – Sucuri has been protecting web site owners against malware and malicious attack. The company’s goal is remarkably simple – keep web sites defended, without complex configuration. Sucuri is an optional add-on available on all GlowHost web hosting services.

Once activated, Sucuri performs an overall scan of your web presence, building up an image of normal activity and usage. Then, at regular intervals, the Sucuri server crawls your web site again, checking for abnormalities. If problems are detected – for example, if multiple pages suddenly become empty, or masses of data begin to disappear – Sucuri alerts GlowHost before working to restore your site.  If the damage to your site is extensive, GlowHost can also provide FREE backups as a faster way to get your web presence back on track.

As an experienced web hosting provider, we have seen the impact that hackers and malware can have on a web site. A single instance of web site defacement or data theft can be expensive to repair and – worse – can cause one-way damage to a business’ reputation.  We have selected Sucuri as a preferred monitoring and alerting tool because of the extensive features that it offers.

In addition to defending against phishing attempts, cross site scripting (XSS), and obfuscated JavaScript injections, Sucuri repairs damage and even removes your web site from blacklists such as:

• Google Safe Browsing
• Norton
• AVD
• McAfee SiteAdvisor

These blacklists monitor the Internet for malware and phishing attempts. If your site becomes compromised, your domain can be added to this blacklist, alerting visitors that your site may present a security risk, which drives away potential traffic!

Sucuri monitors these lists and, after repairing your site, automatically submits a removal request. As a result, customer confidence is restored as quickly as possible, all without the need for you to research how to have your site removed. Sucuri and GlowHost eliminate the time you would normally spend dealing with a removal request on your own. Time is money, and in the event of a compromise, you need to have your site back as quickly as possible. Our Assurance and repair solution is an absolute bargain for the service and piece of mind it can provide you with.

With such a comprehensive approach to web site security, Sucuri does not wait until your web hosting is hit with an attack – you are defended from the first time a new attack is spotted online. The best part is, when you order through GlowHost, you only pay a fraction of the regular retail price, plus, we offer monthly packages which are not available when buying direct from Sucuri.
