CloudLinux account isolation
Hosting accounts are separated so resource problems or activity in one account are less likely to affect neighbouring customers.
WEBSITE SECURITY AND BACKUPS
Security Layers Around Your Hosting, with Daily Backups When Recovery Matters
Dynamic Servers combines account isolation, web application firewall rules, malware scanning, SSL and daily JetBackup restore points. These layers reduce risk and give you a practical recovery route without pretending that any hosting platform can guarantee a website will never be compromised.
Web application firewall
Real-time malware scanning
30 daily restore points

MULTIPLE LAYERS, DIFFERENT PURPOSES
How the hosting platform reduces common website risks
No single product protects every part of a website. Dynamic Servers uses several controls around the hosting account, each designed to deal with a different type of risk.
Web application firewall rules
The web application firewall inspects requests and helps block patterns associated with common website attacks before they reach the application.
Real-time malware scanning
Files uploaded to the hosting platform are checked against malware detection controls so known threats can be identified promptly.
Weekly account scans
Scheduled scans provide another opportunity to identify suspicious or malicious files already stored within an account.
Free SSL certificate support
Eligible domains can use HTTPS to encrypt traffic between the visitor's browser and the hosted website.
Spam filtering
Filtering helps reduce unwanted and malicious messages reaching mailboxes hosted alongside the website.
RECOVERY WHEN SOMETHING CHANGES
Thirty days of daily backups for downloads and restorations
Website updates, deleted email, damaged databases and accidental file changes can all create recovery work. JetBackup keeps thirty daily restore points for supported hosting accounts so an earlier copy can be downloaded or submitted for restoration.
Full account restore points
Restore an earlier account state when a wider problem affects files, databases, email or account data.
Website file recovery
Recover files from an earlier date after accidental deletion, a bad upload or a damaging website change.
Database recovery
Return a database to an earlier restore point when an update or application fault damages stored content.
Email restoration
Available email backups can be used to recover a mailbox or messages that were deleted accidentally.
Downloadable backups
Restore points can be downloaded where you need to retain an additional copy outside the hosting platform.
Visible restore queue
JetBackup provides restoration status and logs so progress can be checked while a recovery request is processed.
Backups reduce risk but are not a guarantee against every form of data loss. Customers should keep independent copies of commercially critical data and check that the required restore point exists before deleting the original files or service.
WHAT BACKUPS DO AND DO NOT DO
A restore point is a recovery tool, not a complete security strategy
Backups are essential after an incident, but they do not prevent the incident. Website maintenance and secure account practices remain just as important.
Backups can help recover from
- Accidental file or email deletion
- A failed website update or plugin change
- Database damage or unwanted content changes
- Malware cleanup where a clean restore point exists
- Human error during website administration
Backups do not replace
- WordPress, plugin, theme and application updates
- Strong unique passwords and multi-factor authentication
- Testing changes before applying them to a live website
- Independent copies of commercially critical data
- A response plan for a compromised website or account
WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG
A practical first response to a website security incident
Acting quickly matters, but restoring blindly can overwrite useful evidence or reintroduce the same weakness. Start by containing access and confirming what changed.
Secure account access
Change compromised passwords, remove unknown administrators and enable multi-factor authentication where available.
Open a hosting support ticket
Provide the affected domain, time the issue was noticed and any warnings, redirects or unfamiliar files you have found.
Identify a suitable restore point
Choose a backup from before the incident rather than simply using the newest available copy.
Fix the original weakness
Update or remove vulnerable software, reset credentials and review third-party access before returning the website to normal use.

A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
Dynamic Servers protects the hosting environment; you maintain the website
Clear responsibilities prevent important work being assumed rather than completed. The hosting platform and the website application need separate attention.
Dynamic Servers manages
- The shared hosting server and cPanel environment
- CloudLinux account isolation and server-side security controls
- Web application firewall rules and malware scanning
- Daily JetBackup operation and available restore points
- Hosting, DNS, SSL and email-related support
The website owner manages
- Website software, plugins, themes and application updates
- Strong passwords, administrator accounts and access permissions
- Website content, licences and third-party integrations
- Testing changes before applying them to a live website
- Independent retention of commercially critical data
MOVING FROM ANOTHER HOST?
Review the website before moving compromised or outdated files
A migration copies the existing website, including its weaknesses. Contact Dynamic Servers before ordering so files, databases, email, DNS and any known security concerns can be reviewed before the final switch.
SECURITY AND BACKUP QUESTIONS
Questions about protection, backups and restoration
These answers explain what the platform includes and where the website owner still needs to take action.
How often are shared hosting accounts backed up?
Supported shared hosting accounts are backed up daily, with thirty daily JetBackup restore points retained for restoration or download.
Can I restore email as well as website files?
JetBackup can provide restore options for website files, databases, email accounts and other supported account data, depending on what is present in the selected backup.
Does malware scanning guarantee that my website is safe?
No. Malware scanning and firewall rules reduce risk and help identify known threats, but no hosting provider can guarantee that a website will never be compromised.
Will Dynamic Servers update WordPress and plugins for me?
No. This is hosting rather than managed WordPress. WordPress core, plugin and theme maintenance remains the website owner's responsibility unless separate website work is agreed.
What should I do if my website is hacked?
Secure access credentials, remove unknown users, open a support ticket with the affected domain and avoid making uncontrolled changes until the incident and available restore points have been reviewed.
Are the backups stored inside my hosting allowance?
Dynamic Servers creates platform backups separately. Backup files created by WordPress plugins or cPanel tools and stored inside your account still use your hosting disk allowance.
Should I keep my own backup copy?
Yes for commercially critical data. Platform backups provide a useful recovery service, but independent copies reduce reliance on any single system or provider.
Is SSL the same as website security?
No. SSL encrypts traffic between a visitor and the website. It does not update vulnerable software, prevent weak passwords or remove malware already present in the website.
Choose hosting with a clear recovery route
River is the best-value starting point for most business websites. Choose a plan online or review the migration first when an existing live website, email service or security concern is involved.
Build recovery into the plan
Apply Security and Backups to the Right Hosting Service
Protection and recovery should be considered when selecting the hosting service, not after a website has already moved.
