Shared Hosting and Malware

Before implementing Imunify360, Interserver.net experienced a high rate of hacked sites especially on shared hosting servers. Technicians were overwhelmed with the number of tickets and amount of time necessary to troubleshoot issues. Even if technicians removed malware from a site, it could be re-infected if the site administrator does not take steps to fully secure it.

Shared hosting providers are especially targets for this kind of issue. Their servers could host hundreds of sites, and just one exploited site could cause performance degradation that can ruin customer experiences on other sites. Malware is a large factor in CPU spikes and exhaustion of memory, so it must be detected before it can run on a hosting server.

Exploited sites are also a bad experience for the site owner. These site owners didn’t intentionally allow their site to be hacked, and they usually don’t have the skills to identify the cause and remediate the vulnerability. This creates frustration for the hoster’s customers that often reflects on their satisfaction with the company.

Imunify360 Stops and Cleans Malware Automatically

Interserver.net turned to Imunify360 to help manage their customer satisfaction and stop malware from affecting performance on servers. Imunify360 can detect malware before it executes and causes CPU spikes, and it will notify administrators when malware is found. In addition to stopping malware, Imunify360 will also clean malicious code from applications.

Before Interserver.net implemented Imunify360, their technicians struggled to keep up with the number of hacked sites, but now technicians have a full malware monitoring and remediation tool that drops staff time tremendously.
