Your website is your brand, your business, your digital identity. But just like any valuable asset online, it’s also a target.
Every day, thousands of websites—big and small—get hacked, injected with malware, or blacklisted by search engines. Most of these attacks aren’t personal. They’re automated, and they look for vulnerable sites with:
-
Weak passwords
-
Outdated plugins
-
No malware scanner
-
No firewall
That’s where SiteLock comes in.
Let’s explore how SiteLock works, why it matters, and how it can protect your website when hosting with PLiKhost.
🚨 Why Website Security Matters
Whether you run a blog, a small business site, or an eCommerce store, a single security breach can cause:
-
Website defacement
-
Data leaks or customer info theft
-
Downtime or complete suspension
-
SEO penalties or Google blacklisting
-
Loss of trust (and revenue)
❗ You may not know you’ve been hacked—until your visitors start seeing warnings.
🛡️ What is SiteLock?
SiteLock is a cloud-based website security solution that automatically:
-
Scans your site for malware and vulnerabilities
-
Removes malicious code before it causes harm
-
Monitors for suspicious behavior
-
Blocks threats with a Web Application Firewall (WAF)
-
Notifies you of security issues in real time
It’s like having a 24/7 security team for your website—fully automated and always on.
🔍 Key Features of SiteLock
✅ Daily Malware Scanning
SiteLock checks your website’s files, themes, and code daily to detect:
-
Malware injections
-
Suspicious links
-
Hidden redirects
-
Blackhat SEO scripts
If something harmful is found, SiteLock notifies you immediately—and in many plans, cleans it automatically.
✅ SMART Auto Malware Removal
The SMART (Secure Malware Alert & Removal Tool) engine doesn’t just detect threats—it removes them.
No need to manually clean code or hire a developer. SiteLock handles it for you.
✅ Web Application Firewall (WAF)
This protects your site from:
-
Brute-force attacks
-
SQL injections
-
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
-
Bots and scrapers
The WAF filters bad traffic before it even reaches your server.
✅ Reputation Management & Blacklist Monitoring
SiteLock alerts you if your domain is:
-
Blacklisted by Google
-
Flagged by spam filters
-
Sending suspicious traffic
Then helps you clean it up and regain search visibility.
✅ DDoS Protection (Advanced Plans)
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks flood your site with fake traffic to crash it.
SiteLock helps absorb and mitigate this kind of attack before it causes downtime.
