Security threats are not optional to ignore

Every unprotected site is a liability for your visitors, your rankings, and your sending reputation.

Your site has no SSL

Browsers now flag every HTTP site as "Not Secure". Visitors leave. Google penalises your rankings. It takes minutes to fix, yet thousands of sites still don't have it.

You don't know if your site has been compromised

Most malware infections are silent. Your site keeps loading while it serves spam, steals visitor data, or participates in attacks you will only discover when you're blacklisted.

Your IP or domain is on a spam blacklist

A blacklisted IP means your emails don't reach clients and your sending reputation takes months to recover.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an SSL certificate if I don't take payments?
Yes. SSL is required for all sites, not just e-commerce. Without it, Chrome and Firefox display a "Not Secure" warning to every visitor. Google also uses HTTPS as a ranking signal, so sites without SSL are penalised in search results regardless of the content they serve.
What happens if my site gets hacked?
With our Website Security plan active, automated scanning detects malware and alerts you immediately. One-click cleanup removes infections without requiring technical knowledge. If you don't have a security plan, contact our support team who can advise on manual remediation steps.
What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL?
DV (Domain Validation) confirms you control the domain and issues in minutes. OV (Organisation Validation) verifies your business identity and is suited to company sites. EV (Extended Validation) provides the highest level of identity verification and is typically used by financial institutions and large e-commerce stores. All three use the same 256-bit encryption.
How do I know if my domain is on a blacklist?
Use our free Blacklist Checker to query your domain or IP against the major DNS blacklists in seconds. If you appear on a list, the tool identifies which one so you can begin the delisting process. Our Email Security product includes ongoing blacklist monitoring with instant alerts.
Does a VPN protect my website visitors?
No. A VPN protects the device it is installed on, which means it protects you (and your team) while browsing or working remotely. To protect your website visitors, you need SSL on your site, a web application firewall, and malware scanning. Both layers are complementary.

Your security stack starts with a free audit.
