Security at Every Layer
Full Security Stack on Every Hosting Plan
Web hosting security is not a premium add-on at dotCanada - it is built into the infrastructure from the ground up.
Free SSL / TLS for All Domains
AutoSSL issues and renews Let's Encrypt certificates for every domain and subdomain. All traffic encrypted, zero configuration needed.
Daily Automated Backups
Your entire account - files, databases, and email - is backed up daily. One-click restore from any backup point in cPanel.
Malware Scanning
Server-side malware scanning detects infected files before they can harm your visitors or get your site blocklisted by Google.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
ModSecurity WAF filters malicious requests before they reach your application. Protects against SQL injection, XSS, and common exploit attempts.
CloudLinux Account Isolation
CloudLinux keeps each hosting account fully isolated. A compromised neighbour account cannot affect your files, processes, or data.
DDoS Protection
Network-level DDoS mitigation protects your site from volumetric attacks. Legitimate traffic reaches your site while attack traffic is filtered.

Secure Web Hosting Questions
What security features are included on every plan?
Free SSL, daily backups, ModSecurity WAF, malware scanning, CloudLinux account isolation, and DDoS protection are all standard on every dotCanada hosting plan.
What is CloudLinux and why does it matter?
CloudLinux is a hardened Linux variant used by professional hosting providers. It isolates each account so a security issue or resource abuse in one account cannot affect others on the same server.
Is the WAF enabled by default?
Yes. ModSecurity WAF is active on all accounts. It inspects incoming requests and blocks common attack patterns including SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
What does malware scanning detect?
Our scanner checks for known malware signatures in PHP files, scripts, and uploaded content. Detections trigger alerts so you can clean or restore infected files quickly.
How does dotCanada support PIPEDA for Canadian businesses?
Our Canadian data centres support your PIPEDA compliance obligations by keeping personal data within Canada. Data residency is one component of PIPEDA obligations - your overall compliance depends on your full data handling practices.
Are backups stored separately from my account?
Yes. Server-side backups are stored on separate infrastructure and do not count toward your storage allocation. You can also download full cPanel backups for off-site storage.
Security Built Into Every Hosting Plan
SSL, backups, WAF, malware scanning, and CloudLinux isolation - all active from day one. No security add-ons to buy.
