How protection works

From first scan to a clean site

SiteLock scans your site from the outside and from within the file system, flags what does not belong, and removes known malware automatically so an infection does not sit unnoticed for weeks.

Baseline scan

The first scan maps your files, pages and database and records what a healthy state looks like. That baseline is what later scans compare against, so injected code and modified core files stand out.

Daily malware scanning

Scheduled scans check for known malware signatures, injected redirects, defacement and suspicious file changes. Because it runs daily, the window between compromise and detection is measured in hours rather than months.

Automatic removal

Recognised threats are cleaned automatically and you are notified of what was found and removed. Anything ambiguous is flagged for review rather than deleted, so a false positive cannot break a working site.

Blacklist monitoring

Your domain is checked against search engine and security blacklists. Being listed removes you from search results and triggers browser warnings, so early notice is what limits the damage to traffic.

Before you buy

Website security questions we are asked most

How malware gets in, what a scanner can and cannot do, how a WAF differs from scanning, and what to do if your site is already blacklisted.

How does malware get onto a website in the first place?

Rarely by someone targeting you personally. The common routes are an outdated plugin or theme with a known vulnerability, a weak or reused admin password, and a compromised computer where the FTP credentials were stored. Automated bots scan the entire internet for these, which is why small sites with no visitors still get infected.

Short answer

Outdated plugins, weak passwords and stolen FTP credentials — usually automated, not targeted.

How is a web application firewall different from malware scanning?

Scanning is detection after the fact: it finds what already reached your files. A WAF sits in front of the site and filters malicious requests — SQL injection attempts, bad bots, exploit probes — before they arrive. They solve different halves of the problem, which is why the higher tiers pair them rather than treating the WAF as an upgrade to scanning.

Short answer

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

My site is blacklisted by Google — what now?

Clean first, then request review. Removing the malware without submitting a reconsideration request leaves the warning in place; submitting before the site is clean gets it rejected and can slow the next attempt. Once approved, the interstitial warning clears, though the traffic recovery lags behind by days.

Short answer

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

My host already runs Imunify360 — do I need this too?

They overlap but sit at different layers. Imunify360 runs at the server level and protects the whole machine, which is included on our Standard and Ultimate shared plans. SiteLock works at the site level, monitors your domain's reputation on blacklists, and reports specifically on your application. If you host elsewhere, or want site-level reporting and blacklist monitoring, it adds cover the server layer does not.

Short answer

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

Can a scanner repair a site that is already broken?

It removes malicious code, which often restores normal behaviour. What it cannot do is rebuild files an attacker deleted or a database an attacker dropped. That is the job of a backup — which is why scanning and backup are complementary purchases rather than alternatives, and why we recommend having both before you need either.

Short answer

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

Does this work on WordPress, WooCommerce and other platforms?

Yes. Scanning operates on files and the database rather than a specific application, so WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Magento, PrestaShop and custom PHP applications are all covered. WordPress simply draws the most attention from attackers because of its share of the web and 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.
