AwardSpace defines security as a key metric of the quality of service that we provide. Therefore, the company provides you with a wide range of security measures so that we can ensure that the safety and integrity of your websites are kept.

 

SSL Certificates

The SSL Certificate is absolutely mandatory for every website. It helps you keep the connection between your website users and the website itself. SSL Certificates have been for some time now also a ranking factor in Search Engines, like Google, which is not as important as the data of your customers being safe, but still, it could be one more factor to nudge you in the direction of getting an SSL Certificate.

 

Firewall

All of AwardSpace’s hosting plans and servers have the so-called Firewall. It helps protect your websites, and prevent unauthorized access. The most common cyber threats are taken care via the Firewall,

 

Spam and Virus protection

AwardSpace incorporates ClamAV antivirus software to scan and filter out spam and malicious emails, providing an additional layer of security for email communications. Yes, this is a feature available with our free hosting too.

 

Regular backups

RAID backup solutions, which ensure data redundancy and protection against hardware failures. Regular backups are critical for disaster recovery and maintaining data integrity.

 

WHOIS Privacy Protection

This feature hides your personal contact information in the domain registration records, protecting you from spam and potential identity theft.

 

Password Protection and Access Control

AwardSpace allows you to set up password protection for specific areas of your website, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive sections.

 

Secure Shell (SSH) Access

For advanced users, SSH access provides a secure method to manage and transfer files, run scripts, and perform administrative tasks on your hosting account.

 

Content Management System (CMS) Security

AwardSpace supports the latest versions of popular CMS platforms like WordPress and Joomla, and provides tools like the Zacky Installer to ensure secure and up-to-date installations of these systems.

 

Network Security

With 50 Gbps network connectivity, AwardSpace ensures that your site is protected by high-speed, secure network infrastructure, minimizing downtime and maximizing security.

 

Data Privacy Compliance

AwardSpace adheres to GDPR and other data protection regulations, ensuring that your personal data and that of your users are handled securely and in compliance with legal standards​

 

These measures collectively help safeguard your website from various threats, ensuring a secure hosting environment for your online presence. For more detailed information.
