In the digital realm, the security of your website is paramount. With cyber threats evolving at
an alarming rate, it is critical that your web hosting provider offers comprehensive security
measures to safeguard your online assets. eHost Kenya stands out in this regard, providing
essential security features designed to protect your website from a variety of risks. Here’s a
detailed look at the security features that come with every eHost Kenya hosting plan.
1. SSL Certificates
Every eHost Kenya plan includes an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which is crucial
for any website. SSL certificates encrypt data transferred between your website and its
visitors, ensuring that sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, and
personal data are transmitted securely. This not only protects your visitors but also boosts
their confidence in your site, which can enhance credibility and customer loyalty.
2. Automated Backups
Data loss can be catastrophic for a business. To mitigate this risk, eHost Kenya provides
automated backup solutions that regularly save a copy of your data. These backups ensure
that, in the event of a server failure, hardware malfunction, or cyberattack, your website can
be restored quickly and efficiently to minimize downtime and data loss.
3. Firewalls and DDoS Protection
eHost Kenya employs powerful firewalls that serve as the first line of defense against cyber
threats. These firewalls are designed to detect and block malicious traffic before it can reach
your website. Additionally, eHost Kenya offers DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)
protection, safeguarding your site from attacks that attempt to overwhelm it with a flood of
traffic, which can render it inaccessible.
4. Malware Scanning and Removal
To further enhance security, eHost Kenya includes malware scanning tools that continuously
scan for and identify potential threats. Any detected malware is promptly removed,
preventing it from causing harm to your website. This proactive approach is essential in
maintaining the integrity and performance of your site.
5. Secure FTP Access
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common method used to upload files to your web hosting
server. eHost Kenya offers Secure FTP (SFTP) access, which encrypts both commands and
data. This security measure prevents the interception and manipulation of sensitive
information during transfers, ensuring that your content remains secure from unauthorized
access.
6. Network Monitoring
Round-the-clock network monitoring is another critical security feature offered by eHost
Kenya. This constant surveillance helps to identify and address potential security breaches
or irregular activities before they can impact your website. By monitoring network traffic,
eHost Kenya can swiftly respond to threats, maintaining the stability and security of your
- hosting environment.
