Protection and security for websites

Comprehensive website security protects your website and web applications from harmful cyber threats, such as malware and vulnerabilities. Depending on your website security package, you will receive daily website scans, automated malware removal and vulnerability patching, and a web application firewall to prevent harmful traffic from entering your site.

Backups provide a simple way to save a copy of a website, including files and database. With a single click, you can restore your website in case of accidental or malicious data corruption.

If your website is blacklisted by Google and displays the following warning, 'This site may be hacked', we will submit your site to Google for removal from the blacklist once we have cleaned it. Please note that it may take up to 72 hours for Google to remove this warning and remove your site from the blacklist. Please note that Redbyte has no control over the timing of this process.

An SSL certificate is a great first step to a secure website. It decodes the information transmitted between your site and your visitors to help prevent data theft. However, it must still protect your site against tampering, theft or resources and other attacks.

An SSL certificate is an important part of website security, since it encrypts the data communication between the website and the website visitor. If you accept payments, have an online form, or if your website has a password-protected area, then you absolutely must have an SSL certificate. Web browsers now mark websites without an SSL certificate (addresses that start with http instead of https) as NOT SECURE. Google search results will soon do the same. Visitors will think twice before clicking on your website if it says NOT SECURE in Google.

Being hacked means that someone has gained access to your website files without your permission, usually to perform malicious activity such as injecting spam, stealing data or enabling a broader hacking attack.
