Secure cPanel Ecommerce Hosting
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I’m preparing a new cPanel/WHM server that will host several ecommerce sites, so transaction security and uptime are non-negotiable. I have the base installation ready; what I’m missing is a thorough security hardening that covers the key layers: firewall, SSL/TLS, and ongoing malware protection.
Here’s exactly what I need from you:
• Firewall configuration – Set up and fine-tune CSF (or another proven solution) within WHM, closing unnecessary ports, adding brute-force and flood protection, and making sure the rules survive reboots and updates.
• SSL/TLS certificates – Issue and install certificates for every present and future domain via AutoSSL or Let’s Encrypt, ensure forced HTTPS, HSTS where appropriate, and automatic renewal without manual intervention.
• Anti-malware scanning – Deploy and schedule a scanner such as ImunifyAV or ClamAV, configure real-time notifications, and quarantine or clean infected files without interrupting live storefronts.
Acceptance criteria:
– All services pass cPanel Security Advisor with no critical warnings.
– SSL Labs returns an A grade for each domain.
– Test malware files are detected and isolated during a scheduled scan.
– Clear documentation of every step performed, including location of config files and commands used.
If you have immediate availability and a proven track record securing cPanel/WHM environments, let’s get this locked down today.
