Website Security 101: What’s Covered, What’s Not, and Who Needs Extra

Website security is not one-size-fits-all, and what you already have depends heavily on where your site is hosted.

If You’re on Cyber Grapes WordPress Hosting

Good news: a Web Application Firewall, malware scanning, and free SSL are already included on every plan. You do not need to add a standalone security product on top.

If You’re Hosted Elsewhere

If your site is on a different host, or on a hosting plan that does not include built-in protection, a standalone Website Security plan adds firewall protection, malware scanning, and monitoring your current setup may be missing.

How to Check What You Already Have

Look at your hosting plan details for mentions of a firewall, malware scanning, or SSL. If none of those are listed, your site may be more exposed than you realize.

Where to Go Next

The right move is not to add security everywhere by default, it is to check what your current hosting already covers first.
