    Your Sites Are Protected at Every Layer

    Security isn't a single feature — it's built into every layer of our infrastructure, from the network edge to your application code.

    Six Layers of Protection

    Every SpectraHost account is defended by overlapping security layers — so a single point of failure never puts your site at risk.

    Network Security

    DDoS protection, enterprise firewalls, and intrusion detection systems monitor and filter traffic before it reaches your server.

    Server Security

    Hardened operating systems, automatic security patches, and isolated accounts ensure each server is locked down from the ground up.

    Application Security

    ModSecurity WAF rules, malware scanning, and brute force protection defend your applications against common attack vectors.

    Data Security

    Encrypted backups, RAID storage arrays, and data center redundancy protect your data against loss, corruption, and hardware failure.

    Access Security

    Two-factor authentication, SSH key management, and IP allowlisting give you granular control over who can access your hosting.

    SSL / TLS

    Free SSL on every site with automatic renewal and HTTPS enforcement. Upgrade to premium DigiCert certificates for wildcard coverage and warranty.
