ModSecurity in Shared Website Hosting
We offer ModSecurity with all shared website hosting plans, so your Internet apps shall be resistant to destructive attacks. The firewall is turned on as standard for all domains and subdomains, but if you'd like, you will be able to stop it via the respective area of your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll be able to also activate a detection mode, so ModSecurity will keep a log as intended, but shall not take any action. The logs which you'll discover within Hepsia are extremely detailed and feature information about the nature of any attack, when it transpired and from what IP address, the firewall rule that was triggered, and so on. We use a set of commercial rules that are often updated, but sometimes our administrators include custom rules as well so as to efficiently protect the websites hosted on our machines.
ModSecurity in Dedicated Servers
If you opt to host your websites on a dedicated server with the Hepsia CP, your web apps will be protected straight away because ModSecurity is available with all Hepsia-based solutions. You'll be able to manage the firewall with ease and if needed, you shall be able to turn it off or enable its passive mode when it will only maintain a log of what is taking place without taking any action to prevent potential attacks. The logs which you'll find in the same section of the CP are really detailed and include information about the attacker IP address, what site and file were attacked and in what way, what rule the firewall employed to prevent the intrusion, etcetera. This information will permit you to take measures and increase the security of your sites even more. To be on the safe side, we employ not only commercial rules, but also custom-made ones that our admins include every time they detect attacks which have not yet been included inside the commercial pack.
