Security Best Practices
Your TackHost account
- Use a long, unique password and never reuse it elsewhere.
- We monitor logins and alert you to new sign-ins from unknown devices.
- Never share your control panel or billing password with anyone.
Your website
- Keep your CMS, themes, and plugins updated.
- Remove software you no longer use.
- Use SFTP (port 22) instead of plain FTP.
Our protection (included on every plan)
- Firewall (CSF), Fail2ban brute-force protection, and a ModSecurity WAF.
- Daily malware and rootkit scans.
- Free SSL, spam filtering, and antivirus on email.
If anything looks wrong, open a ticket - we would rather check a false alarm than miss a real one.
