ModSecurity in Cloud Web Hosting
ModSecurity is available with each and every cloud web hosting package which we offer and it's activated by default for any domain or subdomain which you include via your Hepsia CP. In the event that it disrupts any of your programs or you would like to disable it for whatever reason, you'll be able to accomplish that through the ModSecurity area of Hepsia with only a mouse click. You may also enable a passive mode, so the firewall will identify possible attacks and maintain a log, but will not take any action. You'll be able to view detailed logs in the very same section, including the IP address where the attack originated from, what exactly the attacker attempted to do and at what time, what ModSecurity did, and so forth. For optimum protection of our clients we use a set of commercial firewall rules combined with custom ones that are included by our system admins.
ModSecurity in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Any web program that you install in your new semi-dedicated hosting account will be protected by ModSecurity as the firewall comes with all our hosting plans and is turned on by default for any domain and subdomain you include or create through your Hepsia hosting CP. You'll be able to manage ModSecurity via a dedicated section within Hepsia where not only could you activate or deactivate it fully, but you may also activate a passive mode, so the firewall shall not stop anything, but it'll still maintain an archive of potential attacks. This normally requires only a mouse click and you'll be able to view the logs no matter if ModSecurity is in active or passive mode through the same section - what the attack was and where it originated from, how it was handled, and so on. The firewall uses 2 sets of rules on our web servers - a commercial one that we get from a third-party web security provider and a custom one which our administrators update manually as to respond to recently discovered threats as fast as possible.
ModSecurity in VPS
Protection is vital to us, so we install ModSecurity on all virtual private servers that are provided with the Hepsia CP as a standard. The firewall could be managed through a dedicated section inside Hepsia and is switched on automatically when you add a new domain or generate a subdomain, so you won't need to do anything manually. You'll also be able to disable it or turn on the so-called detection mode, so it'll maintain a log of potential attacks which you can later examine, but won't prevent them. The logs in both passive and active modes contain information about the kind of the attack and how it was stopped, what IP address it originated from and other valuable data that could help you to tighten the security of your sites by updating them or blocking IPs, for instance. On top of the commercial rules which we get for ModSecurity from a third-party security company, we also use our own rules because once in a while we find specific attacks which are not yet present within the commercial group. This way, we can improve the protection of your VPS immediately instead of waiting for an official update.
ModSecurity in Dedicated Hosting
If you choose to host your sites on a dedicated server with the Hepsia Control Panel, your web programs shall be secured straight away because ModSecurity is supplied with all Hepsia-based packages. You shall be able to manage the firewall easily and if necessary, you will be able to turn it off or activate its passive mode when it'll only keep a log of what's happening without taking any action to prevent potential attacks. The logs which you will find in the same section of the Control Panel are extremely detailed and feature info about the attacker IP, what website and file were attacked and in what way, what rule the firewall employed to prevent the intrusion, and so forth. This info shall permit you to take measures and increase the protection of your websites even more. To be on the safe side, we employ not only commercial rules, but also custom-made ones which our admins include whenever they recognize attacks that haven't yet been included within the commercial pack.
