IP Blocker

The IP Blocker interface allows you to block access to your site for one or more IP addresses or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs).

SSL/TLS

The features in this interface allow you to generate and manage SSL certificates, signing requests, and keys, which enhance your website’s security. They are useful for websites that regularly work with sensitive information, such as login credentials and credit card numbers. Encryption protects visitors’ communications from malicious users.

Leech Protection

The Leech Protection interface allows you to detect unusual levels of activity in password-restricted directories. After you set the maximum number of logins within a two-hour period, the system redirects or suspends users who exceed it. This is useful if, for example, someone posts a user’s login credentials on a public site.

ModSecurity

This interface allows you to enable or disable ModSecurity™ for your domains.

SSL/TLS Status

This interface allows you to view, upgrade, or renew your Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates. You can also view useful information about each domain’s SSL certificate, for example:

  • The type of certificate that secures the domain.
  • When the certificate expires or expired.
  • Graphical representation of all certificates for quick reference.
  • Options such as View Certificate or Upgrade Certificate for applicable domains.
  • AutoSSLDomain Control Validation (DCV) error messages for applicable domains.
  • The last time that AutoSSLran for applicable domains.

Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an improved security measure that requires two forms of identification: your password and a generated security code. With 2FA enabled, an application on your smartphone supplies a code that you must enter with your password to log in. Without your smartphone, you cannot log in.
