Web Hosting General

What is a web application firewall (WAF) and how does it protect my site?

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) filters HTTP traffic between the internet and your website, blocking malicious requests like SQL injection, XSS attacks, and exploit attempts before they reach WordPress. Connect Quest includes ModSecurity WAF on all shared hosting and Imunify360 Advanced WAF on VPS/dedicated servers. Imunify360 uses machine learning to detect novel attack patterns, automatically updating its ruleset from a global threat intelligence network. Enable in cPanel under Security > Imunify360. For additional protection, Cloudflare WAF (free tier) adds another layer at the network edge, blocking DDoS and bot attacks before they even reach Connect Quest servers. Available on all plans at connectquest.co.in.
