Hosting security overview

SP Marketing runs a Linux, WHM/cPanel-based hosting environment secured with multiple overlapping layers of protection — from network-level firewalls down to individual website scanning. No single tool carries the whole load: each layer is designed to catch what the others might miss. Below is an overview of the measures protecting every account on our platform.

Core protection stack

Imunify360

Deployed on every hosting account platform-wide. Provides real-time malware detection with automatic cleanup, proactive intrusion detection, and a built-in web application firewall that adapts to emerging threats.

ModSecurity (WAF)

An actively maintained web application firewall rule set that inspects incoming web traffic and blocks common attack patterns — SQL injection, cross-site scripting, remote/local file inclusion, and other known exploit signatures — before they reach a website.

cPHulk Brute Force Protection

Automatically detects and blocks repeated failed login attempts across cPanel, webmail, FTP, and mail services, locking out an attacking IP after a set number of failures.

CSF Firewall

ConfigServer Security & Firewall runs at the network level with stateful packet filtering, port-scan detection, and a login failure daemon that automatically blocks suspicious connection attempts. Staff access is scoped to least-privilege permissions.

Wordfence

Installed fleet-wide across WordPress installations for malware scanning, an application-level firewall, and a real-time threat-intelligence feed that blocks known bad actors.

SSH Disabled by Default

Shell access is turned off on new hosting accounts to reduce the attack surface, and enabled only case-by-case when a customer specifically needs it.

Additional standard safeguards

Automatic SSL/TLS
Every hosted domain is issued an SSL certificate that renews automatically, so visitor traffic is encrypted by default.

Account Isolation
Each hosting account runs in its own isolated environment, so an issue on one account cannot spread to or affect other customers on the same server.

Daily Backups
Every account is backed up daily using incremental snapshots. Backups cover full user accounts, system files (supporting complete server restoration), and databases (both per-account exports and full data-directory backups), with the 10 most recent daily backups retained at all times for fast recovery.

Ongoing Patch Management
Server software, control panel components, and WordPress installations are kept on a documented, recurring update cadence to close known vulnerabilities quickly.

Automated Uptime Monitoring
Every hosted website is checked hourly for a healthy response, so outages or availability issues are flagged and caught quickly.

Email Security & Spam Filtering
Inbound and outbound mail is filtered for spam and abuse, helping keep customer domains off spam blacklists.

Two-Factor Authentication
Available for cPanel and account logins as an additional layer of protection beyond a password.

Why WordPress?

WordPress is by far the most popular CMS with 60.4% of the market share. This means WordPress is used by 33.5% of all the websites online. That’s huge! And WordPress is used by popular brands across the world.

WordPress allows anyone to build a site (no coding knowledge required) and has a community of followers who constantly design and release tools for other users. Because of WordPress’s flexibility, security integrations and unlimited amount of tools, more web designers are using their software. Designers can now focus on the searchability and actual design of your website (instead of spending hours hard coding each page). For customers, it’s simple to add their own blog posts and website pages, and saves them hundreds and thousands of dollars trying to stay current with digital trends.
