WordPress Hosting Security: FAQ

How does Pressillion prevent cross-site contamination between client sites?

We use containerized WordPress hosting, meaning each of your client sites runs in its own secure environment.

This eliminates the risk of one compromised site infecting others – a common risk in traditional shared hosting.

Do you offer brute force protection for login pages?
Yes – every WordPress site on our platform is protected with server-level brute force protection. We throttle and block repeated login attempts before they even hit WordPress.
What kind of firewall do you use?

We deploy a firewall at the server and application levels. It filters traffic, blocks known malicious IPs, and adapts to new threats.

Are backups automatic and secure?

Absolutely. We take automated WordPress backups daily, store them off-site encrypted, and make them available for one-click restores.

How do you handle plugin vulnerabilities?
We monitor emerging threats and recommend updates. Our containers also isolate each site, reducing the impact of any vulnerable plugin.
Do you automatically update WordPress core?
Yes. We handle WordPress core updates and security patches automatically unless you prefer to manage them manually.
Can developers enable 2FA on the platform?
Yes. Our control panel supports two-factor authentication to secure access
Are FTP passwords stored securely?
We don’t use traditional FTP. Secure SFTP credentials are generated per site, along with full SSH access.
Is file editing in the WP dashboard disabled?
Yes, by default. This is a recommended hardening step to reduce vulnerability exposure.
Are themes and plugins scanned for malware on upload?
Yes. Our platform performs signature-based malware scans on uploaded plugins and themes to reduce risk.
Can I enable bot protection?
Yes. Our platform automatically includes bot filtering and rate limiting to reduce spam and bad bot traffic.
Can I block access from specific countries?
Yes. We offer full customization without limits through SSH including geo-blocking at the server level for security or compliance reasons.
Is your stack hardened against zero-day exploits?
Our managed security stack includes real-time patching, monitored signatures, and kernel-level isolation where possible.
What malware protection do you provide?

Our platform includes daily malware scans and real-time alerts.

If malware is detected, our team acts fast to remove it and harden the site. You’re always notified.

Is DDoS protection included?

Yes. All Pressillion servers include DDoS mitigation at the network edge, along with rate limiting to prevent bot floods.

Can you help us comply with GDPR for client data security?

Yes. Our stack includes encrypted backups, and regional datacenter choices to meet compliance needs.

Can I choose where data is hosted?
Yes. We offer regional server selection so your client data can stay within the required jurisdiction.
What happens if a site is hacked?

Our team will clean and restore the site from the most recent secure backup – free of charge.

Is SSL included and automatically renewed?
Yes. Every site gets free Let’s Encrypt SSL, and renewal is automatic with zero manual work required.
Do you support horizontal scaling too?
Yes. We can split your sites across multiple containers, datacenters, and providers. We help design resilient, globally distributed setups. Request a demo/ discovery call.
Is there a firewall around the control panel too?
Yes – the Pressillion control panel is protected by its own application firewall and brute force monitoring.
Can I restrict access to staging environments?
Yes. You can IP-whitelist staging URLs, block crawlers, and require authentication easily through SSH.
How do you prevent outdated plugins from becoming attack vectors?
We alert you to outdated plugins and provide tools to update across multiple sites quickly. Our containers also limit scope of any breach.
Can I run multisite networks?
Yes. WordPress multisite installs are supported with no additional cost. We advise on server sizing for network admin performance.

Please make sure the multisite is path-based (ie; domain.com/somedomain) .

Path-based mutisites work great on our platform.

And not domain based (ie: somedomain.domain.com).

Domain-based mutisites will not work on our platform.

What’s the biggest risk you see in agency hosting setups?

Shared credentials and shared hosting. With Pressillion, each site is isolated, and users can be scoped properly.

What happens during a Black Friday traffic surge?
Your server scales vertically and we proactively monitor key metrics. One agency client handled a 3x spike during a sale without any performance dip.
“Whatever my query, the team is undeniably the best I’ve ever come across in the 16 years of SEO agency experience and I’m thankful to have them as an extension of our team.”
