Hosting with built-in security - DDoS protection, malware scanning, and UK data residency as standard
About This Feature
Secure Web Hosting UK from Glitch Servers provides hosting infrastructure where security controls are built into every plan rather than sold as optional add-ons. UK businesses face increasing cyber threats - DDoS attacks, malware injection, brute force attacks, and data breaches - and the hosting environment is a critical line of defence. Every Glitch hosting plan includes: always-on DDoS protection through Corero Smartwall inline scrubbing at the network level; encrypted data transmission using TLS 1.2/1.3; UK data residency through AS212868 routing with all data stored on UK infrastructure; network-level firewalling; and 24/7 monitoring by our UK-based team. Web hosting plans additionally include Imunify360 malware scanning and web application firewall protection, CloudLinux resource isolation, and LiteSpeed Web Server security hardening. VPS and dedicated server plans provide full root access for your own security configuration - iptables/nftables firewalls, fail2ban, SSH key authentication, and any additional security tooling your application requires. UK data residency keeps your data subject to UK GDPR protections and eliminates cross-border data transfer complexity.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
Always-on DDoS protection through Corero Smartwall - scrubs volumetric attacks at the network level
Imunify360 malware scanning and WAF on web hosting plans - detects and quarantines malicious files
TLS 1.2/1.3 encrypted transit as standard - protects data between users and your hosted application
UK data residency - data stored in the UK, subject to UK data protection law
Technical Specifications
Real specs on real hardware - not marketing numbers.
Corero Smartwall inline DDoS scrubbing - always on, no manual intervention required
Imunify360 on web hosting plans - real-time malware scanning and web application firewall
UK-hosted infrastructure via AS212868 - no international data transit
Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
E-commerce sites, membership platforms, and any site with a login form carry personal data that needs encrypted transit, malware scanning, and isolation from other tenants as standard.
After a hack, the priority is a clean environment with malware scanning, tighter access controls, and daily backups you can actually restore - plus UK support that picks up when something looks wrong.
When you host many client sites, one weak account can't be allowed to threaten the rest. Per-account isolation and always-on DDoS protection contain the blast radius.
