  • Free Daily Malware Scans (Fly & Sell Plans): Automatically checks your site for malware and other vulnerabilities. Receive an instant alert if Jetpack finds any problems so they can be addressed immediately!

  • Automated Spam Filtering: Protects your site from being bombarded with spam content
  • Automatic Hardening: Keeps your site safe from vulnerabilities by auto-applying the industry's best security practices!
  • 1-Click Hardening: Scans your new and existing sites for potentially vulnerable settings. Simply click the settings you want hardened to secure your site!
  • Mass Hardening: Scan all of your sites for vulnerable settings and secure each site with a single click!
  • Mass Updates: Execute updates for each of your sites' WordPress core, themes and plugins.
  • Security Rollback: In some rare instances, security updates can cause incompatability issues on your site. Security rollback allows you to easily revert those changes.
  • IP Blocker: Block a range of IP addresses to prevent them from accessing your site.
  • Free SSL Certificate (Free RapidSSL On Sell): Secure pages on your site so information such as logins, credit card numbers, etc are sent encrypted instead via plain text.
  • Imunify360: Comprehensive security suite for proactive, real-time website protection. This all-in-one security solution features an Intrusion Prevention and Detection system, a Web Application Firewall, Real-time Antivirus protection, a Network Firewall, and Patch Management.
  • Hotlink Protection: prevents your images from being used by other sites.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): When turned on, Two-Factor requires an app on your smartphone to supply a unique security code you must enter in addition to your password to be able to log into your account.
  • ModSecurity: Monitors incoming traffic for threats in real-time, blocking malicious connections before they reach your WordPress site and applications.
  • Virus Scanner: Configurable scan of your account that identifies security threats.
  • Patchman: Scans your account for out-dated WordPress applications, vulnerabilities, and malware scripts. It will fix any known vulnerabilities it discovers without damage to your site.
  • Directory Privacy: Users attempting to open a folder that you designate to protect must enter a username and password to access it.
  • Leech Protection: Prevents users from sharing or publicly posting password to restricted portions of your website.
  • SSH: More secure file transfers.
  • Login URL Change: Hide your wp-admin and wp-login pages so that hackers cannot gain entry via brute force attacks.
  • reCAPTCHA on Comments and Login: Decreases spam and increases site security by adding a CAPTCHA to comment forms and the login screen. Without a CAPTCHA, bots will easily be able to post comments to you blog or attempt to brute force login to your admin panel. 
  • Lock Editing of Plugins and Themes from the WP Admin: Prevents exploits that use the built in editing capabilities of the WP Admin
  • Deny Direct Access to Configuration Files and Comment Form: Protects your configuration files by generating a Forbidden error to web users and bots when trying to access WordPress configuration files. Also prevents POST requests to the site not originating from a user on the site.
  • Regenerate wp-config salts: WordPress salts and security keys help secure your site's login process and the cookies that WordPress uses to authenticate users. There are security benefits to periodically changing your salts to make it even harder for malicious actors to access them.
  • Unused Themes & Inactive Plugin Notifications: Plugins and themes with security flaws can still impact your site. These notifications help you better manage unused features on your site to improve security.

WordPress site staging is an easy and efficient way for you to test changes and updates to your site before you take them live for your audience.

Site staging is one of the most popular features of our Managed WordPress Hosting environment.

The A2 Hosting staging environment provides you with the easiest way to do just that. Our staging tool makes it easy for you to create an environment specifically designed to test your changes before you make them live to your audience.

Creating a staging environment is as easy as just adding a new subdomain or domain to your site. Use our staging tool to make a copy of your existing live website to your new subdomain or domain. This staging environment is where you can do all of your testing whether you want to check a plugin or theme to see how it will impact your site. Once your testing has been completed in your staging environment and you want to take all of your edits live, you can easily do just that within your control panel.
