Your website is your business.
Your brand.
Your digital storefront.
And just like a physical shop, it needs layers of protection to stay safe, trusted, and open 24/7.
At PLiKhost, we recommend a 3-part strategy to secure your website:
-
SSL Certificate (for encryption)
-
SiteLock (for real-time malware protection)
-
CodeGuard (for daily backups and fast recovery)
Individually, each tool is powerful.
Together? They create a complete safety net—preventing, protecting, and recovering from anything that might go wrong.
Let’s break it down.
🔒 1. SSL – Lock Down Your Data in Transit
An SSL certificate encrypts the connection between your website and your visitors.
That means:
-
Login credentials stay private
-
Credit card info is secured
-
Browsers display the padlock icon 🔒
-
Google boosts your SEO for using HTTPS
✅ First line of defense: Protects your visitors and builds trust.
🟢 All PLiKhost hosting includes free Let’s Encrypt SSL. You can also upgrade to premium SSL for higher validation and warranties.
🛡️ 2. SiteLock – Scan and Stop Malware Before It Spreads
Even secure sites get targeted by bots and hackers.
SiteLock scans your website daily and automatically removes:
-
Malware
-
Suspicious code injections
-
Backdoors or hidden spam links
-
Blacklist triggers (e.g., by Google)
It also includes a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that blocks malicious traffic in real time.
✅ Second line of defense: Prevents threats before they harm your site—or your SEO.
🟢 SiteLock is available as a powerful add-on on all PLiKhost hosting plans.
🔁 3. CodeGuard – Your Instant Undo Button
What if something still goes wrong?
Whether it’s malware, a bad update, a human mistake, or a client “oops” moment…
CodeGuard has your back.
-
Daily automated backups
-
File change monitoring
-
One-click restore for files, folders, or databases
-
Secure offsite cloud storage
✅ Third line of defense: Allows fast recovery when prevention isn’t enough.
🟢 CodeGuard is available as an optional add-on and works seamlessly with PLiKhost hosting.
