We will start by giving you a glossary of terms that are very important to know all the advantages that SW Hosting offers in security for your website.
A firewall is a computer security component designed to protect a network of servers by monitoring and controlling data traffic entering and leaving the network. Its primary function is to act as a barrier between a secure network and an unsecured network, such as the Internet.
Firewalls work by examining the data flowing through them and applying predefined rules to determine whether to allow or block that traffic. They can filter data packets based on a variety of criteria, such as IP addresses, ports and protocols. In addition, modern firewalls often incorporate advanced features such as deep packet inspection, intrusion detection and threat prevention to provide more robust protection against cyber attacks.

A layer 4 firewall, also known as a network firewall, operates at the transport layer of the OSI model. This type of firewall focuses on controlling and managing traffic based on the information contained in the network packet headers.
Such firewalls are efficient in allowing or blocking traffic according to established filtering rules, but their ability to understand specific applications is limited.
A layer 4 firewall provides a basic level of security by examining network packet header information and applying rules based on IP addresses and ports, without delving into the specific content of the data or applications.
For more details and information, see this article
A layer 7 firewall, also known as an application firewall, operates at the application layer of the OSI model. Unlike traditional firewalls that work at lower layers and focus on inspecting data packets based on IP addresses and ports, a layer 7 firewall analyses traffic at a deeper level, understanding the nature of specific applications and protocols.
This type of firewall is able to make decisions based on contextual information, such as data content and commands used in applications. It can apply more granular and sophisticated security policies, allowing more precise control over application traffic.
A Layer 7 firewall offers more advanced security by evaluating and filtering traffic based on the specific applications being used, providing an additional layer of protection against threats at the application level.

A Perimeter Firewall means that the security component is located on the network, not on the server being protected. Many providers include Firewall systems that are located on the server or Cloud that is offering your Web Hosting services. In SW Hosting we always talk about perimeter security, that is, all security components are located at the entrance of the network and protect the entire network without having to install anything on each of the Hosting servers, thus minimizing the resources needed for the Hosting server and optimizing its performance, also all harmful or malicious traffic is filtered before reaching the network.

A DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service Attack, is a form of cyber attack that seeks to overload a system, service or network, preventing it from functioning properly. This type of attack involves the use of multiple distributed devices or computers to send a large volume of traffic to a specific target simultaneously.
The main goal of a DDoS attack is to overwhelm the target system's available resources, such as bandwidth, processing power or memory, to the point where it cannot adequately respond to legitimate user requests. This overload can cause service disruptions, rendering the affected website, online service or network inaccessible.
A DDoS attack does not seek to access or compromise the security of the target's information, but rather to cause an interruption in service.

The most efficient tool for Linux environments to have your own Firewall on your server or Cloud is IPtables. It is a set of rules and commands that allow you to configure packet filtering tables in the Linux kernel, thus controlling network traffic and providing firewall functions.
These rules are used to manage security policies on a Linux system, determining which network packets are allowed and which are blocked. Iptables allows rules to be set based on various conditions, such as IP addresses, ports, protocols and connection states. Unlike perimeter Firewalls, IPtables runs locally on the Linux server or Cloud consuming resources and having to analyse all incoming traffic packets to the service, so it requires more resources and may have more security issues than a server or Cloud located in a secure network protected with perimeter FireWalls.

The resilience of a hosting server refers to its ability to remain operational and withstand adverse situations, ensuring the availability and stability of the services it offers. In the hosting context, resilience is essential to ensure that hosted websites, applications and data are always accessible even in challenging conditions.
Having a highly resilient service requires having security and backup systems in place to guarantee the continuation of the service.

Backups, also known as backups, are duplicates of the information stored on a computer system. These copies are created for the purpose of preserving data and enabling its recovery in the event of loss, damage, or accidental deletion of the original information.
Regular backups are a fundamental practice in system administration, as they provide an additional layer of security and ensure the availability of critical data. These backups are often stored in locations external to the main system to ensure the integrity of the information, even in situations of disaster or failure of the main hardware.

Hosting server monitoring refers to the process of continuously monitoring and evaluating the performance, availability and other relevant aspects of the server that hosts websites or applications. This practice is essential to ensure efficient operation, prevent problems before they affect users, and maintain the stability of the hosting environment. Some key aspects of monitoring a hosting server include: Server Performance, Availability, Bandwidth Usage, Security, Storage Resources, Applications and Services, Alerts and Notifications.
Constant monitoring of a hosting server is crucial to ensure an optimal user experience, prevent problems before they affect customers and maintain the integrity and security of the data hosted on the server.

An SSL certificate, which stands for "Secure Socket Layer", is a standard security protocol used to establish secure and encrypted connections between a web server and a browser. This protocol ensures that the information transmitted between the user and the server remains private and secure.
The SSL certificate is installed on the web server and acts as a digital seal that authenticates the identity of the website and encrypts the transmitted information. When a user accesses a website that uses SSL, the connection is established securely, which means that any data transferred, such as personal information or credit card details, is protected against possible interception attempts by malicious third parties. In addition to providing security for sensitive data, websites with SSL certificates also display a visual indicator, such as a padlock in the browser address bar or the "https://" protocol in the URL, which indicates to users that they are browsing securely. This helps to build trust and improve online security for website visitors.

Security is not just a term; it is a holistic approach that encompasses every possible perspective. At SW Hosting, we approach security from every angle, making sure to analyse every aspect to deliver a robust and reliable service.
Analysing the resilience of a hosting plan is crucial. At Security 360, we not only focus on threat prevention, but also on the resilience of the service in case of incidents. Resilience is the key to guarantee service continuity.
SW Hosting integrates high-end servers into our shared hosting network. Equipped with redundant hardware, these servers ensure service continuity even in adverse conditions. The robustness of our infrastructure is the basis of our security.
AntiDDDoS Layer: Filtering Real-Time Attack Surges
The first line of defence in 360 Security is our AntiDDoS layer. We filter incoming and outgoing traffic in real time at our Data Centres, analysing and stopping potential attack waves. This proactive measure ensures the stability and security of websites.
Our second layer of security uses Layer 4 FireWalls, based on Juniper Networks technology. These FireWalls filter traffic at Layer 4, applying security rules necessary to ensure the integrity and security of the network. A solid defence at the transport level.
The third layer of security in Security 360 uses Layer 7 FireWalls, based on technology from Palo Alto Networks. These FireWalls go further by not only analysing traffic packets, but also understanding them and preventing malicious actions. An advanced layer of security that goes to the heart of threats.
With these layers of security, the network access to the Cloud Hosting servers at SW Hosting is secure and everything is analysed in real time. Constant radiography allows us to detect and stop threats before they affect the integrity of websites.
At SW Hosting, we don't just talk about security; we demonstrate it with concrete actions. The implementation of 360 Security has taken our clients' experience to a new level, offering not only protection, but also confidence in the continuity of their online services.
