Security shouldn’t be an optional extra.

Every RapidLayer shared hosting plan includes free SSL, malware protection, a firewall and daily backups. No bolt-ons, and nothing to switch on before you are protected.

Included as standard

On every shared plan

Daily backups

What is included

Practical protection for every website.

Free SSL

Certificates for HTTPS, so data between your visitors and your website is encrypted.

Malware protection

Scanning helps catch malicious files before they cause harm.

Firewall

Filtering helps block unwanted and malicious traffic.

Daily backups

A recent copy of your website, so you can recover from mistakes or attacks.

Account separation

Your hosting account is kept separate from other customers, where supported.

Up-to-date software

Use current PHP versions and keep your applications updated, where supported.

Your part matters too

Hosting security works best alongside good habits. A few simple steps make a big difference.

  • Use strong, unique passwords
