Website Security on Every Step
Discover how FastGuard safeguards your website using advanced security technologies
Modern web security often separates network, application, and server-level protection. However, our experience proves that only a fully integrated, multi-layered approach can effectively protect today’s complex web applications.
Today’s websites must balance functionality, performance, and usability—often creating security challenges. To solve this, we developed the FastGuard Security Methodology, delivering strong protection at every level against both external threats and application-level vulnerabilities.
Explore the technologies we use to ensure your website and hosting services remain fast, reliable, and secure at all times.
DNS and DDoS Protection
DNS resolution is a critical part of website access and is often targeted by DDoS attacks, which can cause slow performance or complete downtime.
To defend against these threats, we partner with Cloudflare, a leading CDN and DNS provider. Cloudflare delivers high-speed content delivery and built-in DNS security, included free with all hosting plans. Enable DNS and DDoS protection in just one click from your control panel—no code changes required.
DNS Security
- Built-in load balancing
- Automatic failover protection
- Advanced rate limiting and filtering
CDN and DDoS Protection
- Lightning-fast content delivery
- Browser integrity verification
- HTTP/S DDoS attack mitigation
Artificial Intelligence Firewall
Once your domain is resolved, visitors connect to your hosting server. At this stage, it’s crucial to allow only legitimate users while blocking malicious IPs, malware bots, and other threats.
To achieve this, all FastCloud hosting services are secured with the powerful Imunify360 security platform. FastGuard and Imunify360 continuously learn from attacks and share threat intelligence, creating a global defense network that stops botnets and exploits while improving performance by filtering harmful traffic at the network level.
Traffic Monitoring
- Advanced botnet blocking
- IP reputation-based filtering
- CAPTCHA human verification
Website Monitoring
- Application-level DoS protection
- Request rate limiting
- Whitelist and blacklist filtering
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
After a visitor connects to your website, our in-house ModSecurity Web Application Firewall analyzes every request against a wide range of known application-level threats.
With countless plugins and extensions, platforms like WordPress, Magento, and OpenCart require constant updates. Our application firewall keeps your website protected even if a security patch is missed.
Protection from common attacks:
- SQL injection attacks
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Known zero-day vulnerabilities
File-based vulnerability protection:
- Local file inclusion (LFI)
- Remote file inclusion (RFI)
- Unauthorized file uploads
Secure Account Isolation
Beyond protecting your website from external threats, FastGuard also secures your hosting account itself. On shared hosting environments, neighboring websites can pose potential security risks.
With FastCloud and FastGuard, your account is fully isolated within a dedicated CloudLinux virtual environment. Even if another website on the same server is compromised, your account and data remain completely protected.
Account protection and isolation:
- Lower risk of cross-account breaches
- Optimized resource usage
- Fair and stable resource allocation
Vulnerability protection:
- Prevention of information disclosure attacks
- Protection against symbolic link attacks
- Reduced overall attack surface
