A2 Hosting's Perpetual Security

Proactive protection against malicious hackers and security threats!

A2 Hosting strives to persistently take the necessary actions to squash security threats before they potentially develop into something larger. Perpetual Security demands web hosting protection that is unrelenting, constant and ceaseless. These are some of the main features that have helped A2 Hosting's Perpetual Security meet this demand.

8 Key Components

Dual Web Hosting Firewall
Your A2 Hosting account includes an overall network firewall with an additional firewall for your server to block unauthorized users and secure vulnerabilities. Your server's firewall deflects threats that manage to penetrate our network's firewall.
Brute Force Defense
A2 Hosting persistently monitors and blocks attacks that occur in countless, programmed sequences that attempt to break into our network.
Auto-Heal Hosting Protection
Auto-Heal Protection ensures that our default network settings and configuration files are properly configured at all times. If a default setting is at anytime altered, our secure hosting with Auto-Heal Protection automatically changes them back to the default configuration.
Virus Scanning
Easy-to-use virus scanning is included FREE with each cPanel control panel.
Limited Server Access
A2 Hosting's staff uses keys, not passwords, to access servers. Keys have a significantly lower chance of being stolen and greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized server access.
Server Hardening
A2 Hosting disables non-mission critical server components to lower potential exploits. Potential exploits are further reduced by maintaining the most current security patches and updates on your server.
Data Center Security
Data center visitors require both a security card to enter our datacenter's parking lot and a separate card to enter the physical data center. Each server is fully enclosed by cages where keys are required to gain access to the server. Our data center security is further enhanced video surveillance monitoring.
Additional Server Security Monitoring
Your account is protected by additional applications that monitor for strange activity and automatically eliminate processes that potentially could lead to harmful activity.
