Built to make WordPress more secure

Designed as a WordPress plugin, Sitelock runs in the background performing daily scans of your website to detect vulnerabilities, using super lightweight code that doesn’t impact the speed or performance of your site. In addition to the scans, it has the functionality to post comments and submit forms as an additional method of identifying weak spots cybercriminals could use to attack your website. If any vulnerabilities are detected, the plugin will deploy a security patch as an interim measure while an instant notification means immediate action by the BaseHost security team, mitigating reputational damage and financial loss.

Application scan

Often a point of vulnerability offering access to hackers, any applications your website is running will be checked to ensure they are up to date and secure

SQL Injection scan

Sitelock has the functionality to submit forms and make posts as a means of identifying any SQL injection flaws before hackers do

Network scanning

As a hosting provider, BaseHost can check that the network port correctly identifies that the port is open for the related server.

Most traditional IT providers are happy to sell you a server because it sits in a corner doing a job and you pay for it once and don’t really think about it again – sounds pretty good right?

There are a variety of reasons that this is a bad situation. First off, you’re locked in to old technologies and setups that cause you major problems when you have to send people home to work (ala COVID-19). Secondly, all your trusted data is sitting behind a usually lightweight internet connection which makes it horrible to reach remotely. Then you have the dreaded circumstance where that server gets a virus or worse still, ransomware and it’s lights out to your business. Remote servers that you can scale up and down as you need, turn on and off as you need and available and backed managed permanently are the right way to run your business. You can forget the need to wait days to upgrade a server, it’s done in minutes and the network can be turned up and down whenever you need it. This is true flexibility and the power of what you get from Cloud servers. If problems arise, restoring from backup is super-fast and your business doesn’t lose productivity.
