What security measures are implemented by Netshine Hosting?

We implement a wide range of defensive strategies to ensure our servers are as secure as possible. However, the security of your website is largely dependent on you - you must ensure that you keep your software up-to-date. This means upgrading Joomla or Mambo whenever a new release is published, as well as keeping any 3rd party component, modules, templates, etc. up-to-date, and any non-Joomla scripts too.

Our security measures include:

  • All servers housed in secure data centres (in London, UK and Texas, US), which implement physical security measures (security card access to buildings, security guard patrols, fire protection systems, etc.)
  • Register Globals switched off
  • suPHP enabled so if one account starts hogging resources we can easily track which one is causing the problem
  • Hardware and software firewalls in place, including mod_security
  • Server software (operating system, control panel, etc.) is updated automatically by us as required (we do not upgrade Mambo or Joomla for you though!)
  • Anti-spam software to help control unwanted email
  • 24/7 network monitoring from 4 different locations around the world
