Security & Tools

Security that's already on, and the tools to go further.

Some of this you already have on every hosting plan and never have to ask for. The rest is here when you need it — backup, malware scanning, certificates and migrations.

What every plan already includes

These are not add-ons and there is nothing to enable. They apply across the hosting range.

Free SSL on every plan

Issued and renewed automatically, so your site serves over HTTPS without you buying or installing anything. Paid certificates exist for extended validation and wildcards, but the baseline is covered.

Email authentication, configured

We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC as part of setting up your mail. There is nothing for you to add — and please do not add a second SPF record, because a domain may only have one and a second breaks authentication for all of your mail.

DDoS protection on every VPS

Included on all VPS plans rather than sold as an add-on.

Cleanup if you get hacked

Open a ticket and we clean it up at no charge. We would rather fix it quickly than leave a compromised site on our network — though do change your passwords and update your software afterwards, because a cleanup does not close the hole that let them in.

Security & Tools

Each of these has its own page with the detail and, where it applies, the price. If you are not sure which you need, ask us rather than guessing from a table.

Malware detection

SiteLock

Scheduled scanning for malware and vulnerabilities, so you hear that your site is compromised before your customers do — rather than from a browser warning or an angry email.

Backup and recovery

Veeam Backup

OIS is a Veeam partner. Microsoft 365 protection, an offsite copy of Veeam jobs you already run, or backup managed for you on servers we host — the same platform and the same people supporting it.

Encryption and trust

SSL Certificates

When the included certificate is not enough — a wildcard across your subdomains, or a certificate issued to your business — you can buy one here and we will install it for you. No CSR wrangling.

Domains

Domain Search

Check whether a name is available, see suggestions across the extensions we actually sell, and register it in the same place as your hosting.

Migration

Site Transfer

We migrate your sites and mailboxes free of charge, onto a temporary URL first, so you can check everything works before your domain is pointed at us. No downtime while you decide.

A word on backups

We take backups, and on VPS plans we take snapshots weekly — or daily if you ask us to. Keep your own copies as well. Our backups answer "the server failed" well; they answer "I deleted the wrong thing an hour ago" far less well, and that second one is how people usually lose work. If that matters to you,talk to us about Veeam.
