Security & backups
Stack Hosting is built to keep WordPress sites protected and recoverable. Here’s how security and backups work on our platform.
Security
- Free SSL certificates — encrypt traffic between your visitors and your site.
- Daily malware scanning — helps catch malicious code early.
- Enhanced security tools — manage protections from your Stack Hosting control panel.
- SSH with 2FA — stronger access control when you need command-line tools.
- Secure email — SSL/TLS for IMAP and SMTP, plus spam and antivirus filtering.
Backups
- Backup and restore tools for websites and databases in your control panel.
- Daily backups included on our higher-tier hosting package.
- Restore options when you need to roll back after an update or content mistake.
Tip: Before major WordPress updates or redesigns, take a fresh backup (and use staging where available) so you can recover quickly if something goes wrong.
