Website scanning and malware protection

Detect Suspicious Changes Before Visitors Report Them

SiteLock plans add website scanning, malware alerts and eligible cleanup features for business sites, public-information pages and online stores.

From ৳1,799/month

Daily scans, not annual ones

A compromise can remain unnoticed when the homepage still looks normal. Regular scanning helps identify injected code, changed files and reputation warnings earlier.

Know before Google tells your customers

Blacklist monitoring catches a bad reputation flag early. Finding out because Chrome shows your visitors a red warning screen is the expensive way to learn.

Cleanup, not just an alert

An alert that says you are infected and stops there is not much help without a sysadmin. Known malware is removed automatically, and our team steps in for the rest.

Platform Highlights

Finds the outdated plugin before an attacker does

Most WordPress sites here are compromised through a plugin or theme that stopped being updated, often one installed by a developer who has since moved on. Scanning flags those paths while they are still just a risk.

Blocks the traffic that is probing you

Brute-force attempts on wp-login, exploit payloads and scraping bots are filtered before they reach the application. On shared hosting this also stops that traffic eating the CPU your real visitors need.

Practical hardening you can act on

File permissions, login policy, security headers and an update routine, explained so a developer or the person who actually runs the site can apply them. Not a PDF of generic advice.

A trust seal customers recognise

A security seal can show that scanning is active, but it should support—not replace—HTTPS, software updates, secure access and a tested recovery plan.

How protection works

From the first scan to a site you can trust again

Most compromised sites we see in Bangladesh had been infected for weeks before anyone noticed — usually until Google flagged it, or a customer mentioned the site was behaving oddly. Daily scanning shrinks that gap from weeks to hours.

Baseline scan

The first scan records what your site looks like while it is healthy. Everything after that is compared against it, which is how an injected redirect or a quietly modified core file gets caught even while the site still loads perfectly.

Daily malware scanning

Every day the scan hunts for malware signatures, hidden redirects, defacement, and files that changed when nobody deployed anything. That redirect-to-a-betting-site injection which keeps hitting Bangladeshi WordPress sites is precisely this pattern.

Automatic removal

Known malware is stripped out automatically and you are told what was found. Anything the scanner is not certain about gets flagged instead of deleted — a cleaner that breaks a working store is just a different kind of outage.

Blacklist monitoring

Your domain is checked against search engine and security blacklists. A listing pulls you out of search results and puts a warning in front of every visitor, so finding out early is what limits the damage to your traffic.

Before you buy

The website security questions we get asked most

How malware gets in, what a scanner can and cannot do for you, how a firewall differs from scanning, and what to do when Google has already blacklisted your site.

How did malware get onto my website at all?

Almost never because somebody targeted you personally. The usual routes are an outdated plugin or theme with a publicly known vulnerability, a weak or reused admin password, and a compromised laptop where FTP credentials were saved. Bots sweep the entire internet looking for exactly those, which is why a small site nobody visits still gets infected.

Short answer

Outdated plugins, weak passwords and stolen FTP credentials — usually automated, not targeted.

What is the difference between a firewall and malware scanning?

Scanning is detection after the event — it finds what already made it into your files. A web application firewall sits in front of the site and filters hostile requests, SQL injection attempts, bad bots and exploit probes, before they ever land. They solve opposite halves of the same problem, which is why the higher tiers pair them rather than selling the firewall as an upgrade.

Short answer

A WAF blocks attacks on the way in; scanning finds what already got through.

Google has blacklisted my site. What now?

Clean it first, then ask for review — in that order. Removing the malware without submitting a reconsideration request leaves the warning sitting there; submitting before the site is genuinely clean gets rejected and slows down your next attempt. Once approved the interstitial disappears, though traffic takes a few more days to come back.

Short answer

Clean the infection first, then submit for review — order matters.

My host runs Imunify360 already. Do I need this too?

They overlap, but they work at different levels. Imunify360 runs on the server and protects the whole machine — it is included on our Standard and Ultimate shared plans. SiteLock works at your site's level, watches your domain's reputation on blacklists, and reports on your application specifically. If you host elsewhere, or you want site-level reporting and blacklist alerts, it covers ground the server layer simply does not.

Short answer

Server-level and site-level protection overlap; blacklist monitoring is the clear gap.

Can a scanner fix a site that is already broken?

It takes out the malicious code, and that often brings normal behaviour back on its own. What it cannot do is recreate files an attacker deleted or a database an attacker dropped. That is a backup's job — which is why scanning and backup are companions rather than alternatives, and why we would rather you had both before you need either.

Short answer

Scanning removes malware; only a backup restores what was deleted.

Does it work on WooCommerce, Joomla and custom PHP sites?

Yes. The scanning works on your files and your database rather than on one particular application, so WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop and hand-written PHP are all covered equally. WordPress simply attracts the most attention from attackers, thanks to its share of the web and the size of its plugin ecosystem.

Short answer

Platform-agnostic — WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento and custom PHP.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Browse by topic or search below. Every answer is written by our engineers — no fluff.

01Do all hosting plans include a free SSL certificate?

Yes. Every HostAccent shared hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud, and VPS plan includes a free auto-renewing SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt or equivalent). SSL encrypts traffic between your visitors and your server, enables HTTPS, and is a confirmed Google ranking signal — included at no extra cost on every plan from the entry-level tier upwards.

02How quickly can an SSL certificate be activated?

Free Let's Encrypt SSL activates in minutes via cPanel's AutoSSL tool. For premium paid SSL certificates (DV, OV, or EV), domain validation typically takes minutes, organisation validation takes 1-3 business days, and EV validation takes 3-7 business days due to the extended vetting process. HostAccent's support team guides you through each step.

03Will an SSL certificate improve my SEO rankings?

Yes. Google has confirmed HTTPS (requiring a valid SSL certificate) as a ranking factor since 2014. Without SSL, Chrome and other browsers display 'Not Secure' warnings that increase bounce rates, harming both rankings and conversion rates. An SSL certificate is the minimum baseline for any serious website in 2024.

04What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL certificates?

DV (Domain Validated) SSL verifies domain ownership only — issued in minutes and shown as a browser padlock. OV (Organisation Validated) SSL verifies your business identity alongside domain ownership. EV (Extended Validation) SSL undergoes the strictest vetting, showing your company name in the address bar — best for banks, financial services, and high-trust ecommerce. HostAccent offers all three types.

05What is the difference between free Let's Encrypt SSL and paid SSL?

Both encrypt your site traffic identically — there is no speed or encryption-strength difference. Free Let's Encrypt is DV-only and auto-renews every 90 days. Paid SSL certificates (DV, OV, EV) include warranties ($10,000-$1.75M), static validity periods (1-2 years), organisation validation, and extended validation options that display your company name — important for high-trust ecommerce and financial sites.
