It is essential to keep your website safe, reliable and trustworthy while protecting sensitive information. Bluehost offers SiteLock plans that automate malware scans and removals. Our plans also include a built-in content delivery network (CDN) and web application firewall (WAF). These tools help keep your website secure and running smoothly for your visitors.

Website security is important for protecting your online presence and ensuring consistent access for visitors. It prevents data theft, downtime and reputational damage. Strong protection against evolving cyber threats keeps valuable website information safe, builds visitor trust and helps maintain consistent website performance.

Yes, even with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate in place, website security remains essential. SSL only protects the data shared between your site and visitors. It doesn’t stop hackers or malware from attacking your site. Strong website security safeguards your site from cyber threats, keeps your visitors’ information safe and helps maintain trust and a positive business reputation.

Bluehost keeps your visitors’ data safe with SSL certificates that encrypt information, including passwords and payment details. SiteLock provides additional protection by scanning for malware, fixing vulnerabilities and blocking malicious traffic. Together, they ensure your site is safe, reliable and secure for all visitors.

We protect your payments and checkout pages by adhering strictly to the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance guidelines. Bluehost SiteLock plans help ensure that your checkout code isn’t altered to steal customer payment data. Our plans also block cyberattacks, which often target payment forms and keep checkout pages available even during malicious traffic surges. Together, these measures ensure that your checkout pages are safe, reliable and trustworthy for every customer.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your website by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking harmful requests before they reach your server. It prevents common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting and brute force attempts. WAF also filters out malicious bots, reduces spam and helps maintain site performance and availability.

Bluehost website security, powered by SiteLock, scans your site daily for malware and vulnerabilities. These automated scans help detect threats early and remove them before they can harm your site or compromise visitor data. You’ll also receive weekly reports available in your dashboard to stay updated on your site’s security status.

A CDN speeds up your site by storing cached versions of your content on servers around the world. Site visitors receive data from the server closest to them, which reduces load times and improves overall performance.
