How Does The Image Stop Ltd. / PenguinHosting.ca Keep Your WordPress Site Secure?

Aug 23, 2024

Your Website’s First Line of Defence: Us.

At The Image Stop Ltd., we know your website is more than just a digital presence—it’s your storefront, your reputation, and sometimes your lifeline. That’s why we and our hosting division, penguinhosting.ca, our most popular hosting package, comes bundled with comprehensive, professional-grade WordPress security tools built-in from day one.

Rather than leaving you to figure it out on your own (and pay extra for plugins or outside help), we handle security proactively. From malicious bot traffic to outdated plugin vulnerabilities, we’ve got you covered.

Here is why our most popular hosting package (Pro) is as popular as it is… and how secure it is for our clients.

 

1. Nightly Backups for Peace of Mind

Things can go wrong—we know that. But with automatic nightly backups, you’re never far from a quick fix. We store backups securely and make restoration as simple as clicking a button. Your site can be rolled back to a previous working version in minutes, not hours.

2. Free SSL Certificates, Always On

If your website doesn’t have an SSL certificate, browsers now label it as “Not Secure”—and that’s not a good look. That’s why every penguinhosting.ca plan includes a free SSL certificate, which is automatically installed and renewed. Encryption isn’t optional anymore—it’s standard.

3. Proactive Malware Scanning & Removal

We don’t wait for a crisis to act. Our systems scan for malware daily and immediately notify our team of anything suspicious. If we detect malware, we clean it up—no extra cost, no surprise fees. Your website’s integrity is too important for fine print.

4. Brute Force Attack Prevention

Your WordPress login page is often the most targeted part of your site. Our servers include built-in brute force protection that automatically blocks suspicious login attempts and rate limits abuse. Bots don’t stand a chance.

5. Insecure Passwords? Not on Our Watch.

You wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, so why make it easy for bots to walk into your website?

WordPress is a popular platform, and that makes it a popular target. Web bots routinely scour the internet, tacking /wp-admin onto domain names and launching login attempts using the most common (and most dangerously weak) credentials. If you’re still using a username like admin and a password like password1234, you’re practically inviting trouble in for tea.

That’s why we bake password strength right into our platform at The Image Stop ltd./penguinhosting.ca, our most trusted hosting package. Whether you’re logging in to our system or creating users within WordPress, we enforce strong password practices at every step. If your password doesn’t make the grade, we’ll let you know—firmly but lovingly.

Pro Tip: A secure password doesn’t have to be impossible to remember. Try combining random words you like—something like whiskey-butter-hockey-llama—for a phrase that’s both hard to guess and easy to recall.

Want to take it a step further? We can also help you hide your wp-login page, enable two-factor authentication, and apply even deeper layers of security. Just ask—we’re here to help.

6. Managed Updates and Ongoing Support

Security begins with keeping WordPress core, themes, and plugins up-to-date. We help ensure your site stays current and compatible with scheduled update checks, and we offer hands-on support when updates need a bit of human attention.

7. Secure Infrastructure (Built for WordPress)

We don’t just host your site—we optimize it. Our servers are configured specifically for WordPress, with isolated container technology that keeps each site separate and safe, even in shared environments. That means better speed, better uptime, and fewer vulnerabilities.

8. Expert Canadian Support

Need help? Our support team is not outsourced. You’ll work with real humans based in Canada – people who understand your goals, your business, and your website. If something feels off, we’re just a call or email away.
