Security & Reliability
Most security incidents we see are not sophisticated zero-days. They are basic configuration and hygiene issues that have been avoidable for years.
A simple firewall policy that allows only required traffic stops a large percentage of automated scans.
Disable password login for SSH (use keys), enforce MFA on control panels, remove default accounts, and limit management interfaces.
The majority of compromised WordPress sites and servers are running outdated plugins, themes, or OS packages.
Rate limiting, ability to filter or null-route, backups that can actually be restored, and separating management networks from public traffic.
Good hosting security is mostly consistent basics: least-privilege firewall rules, strong authentication, timely updates, tested backups, and a provider that can help when something still gets through. Sophisticated tools help at the margin. The fundamentals prevent the incidents that actually happen to most customers.
