5 stars, always and probably forever. The best support I ever had, 24/7 and perfect uptime. I have nothing to complain about and I've been working with them for 4–5 years.

Built-in WordPress security, no plugins needed
With Kiravo, you get native WordPress protection that runs on the server-level without slowing your website down.
Website isolation
Each site runs in its own container, so an infection on one can't spread to another.
WordPress hardening
We block PHP execution in uploads and wp-includes, with scoped exceptions for builders.
Security headers
Every site gets anti-XSS, clickjacking, and transport headers by default.
Free SSL certificates
Let's Encrypt certs renew before they expire, with daily expiry checks. Bring your own from the panel.
Two-factor authentication
Add 2FA to your Kiravo account in a couple of clicks against unauthorised access.
Brute-force protection
Rate-limited shielding across the WordPress login, SSH, FTP, and email, with automatic bans.
Layer 7 WAF
An application firewall that mitigates XSS and SQL injection before a request reaches your site.
Proxy-aware WAF
Sees the real client IP and blocks bad traffic even behind Cloudflare, Akamai, or other proxies.
Bot protection
Silent captcha challenges block bad bots on login and custom URLs, so resources stay with real visitors.
DDoS protection
Connection-flood limits at the firewall, plus an Under Attack mode that tightens defences during an active attack.
IP, ASN & country blocking
A live database of abusive IPs with country and ASN blocking, full IPv6, and reputation checks.
Email security
Server-wide spam filtering, plus outbound lockdown that isolates a compromised account before your domain is blacklisted.
Real-time malware protection
Real-time and scheduled scanning that pairs signature matching with a machine-learning classifier and heuristic analysis.
Rootkit scanner
Detects rootkits, abusive users, and high-load processes, then blocks them on sight.
Database scanning
Daily scans find malicious code and injections in your WordPress database; integrated tools clean it up.
Vulnerability manager
Plugins and themes are tracked against a live CVE database, with weekly scans and one-click patching.
Malicious plugin detection
We flag plugins that hide from the admin or smuggle in a backdoor, then step in immediately.
Malicious cron detection
Hidden cron jobs an attacker leaves behind are detected and removed automatically.
File integrity monitoring
We check core files against official checksums and catch unauthorised changes early.
Integrity auto-repair
Compromised core files are quarantined and replaced with a clean copy from WordPress.org.
Backdoor & config monitoring
Shell init files, SSH config, .htaccess, and wp-config are watched for injected backdoors.
Resource monitoring
Round-the-clock process monitoring kills slow queries and caps runaway load.
Uptime monitoring
We monitor your sites themselves, with Slack alerts the moment one goes down.
IP reputation check
We track our server IP reputation to catch blacklisting before it hits deliverability.

My experience with Kiravo has been very good. The site is stable and fast, and when I needed support I got fast replies and clear solutions. You can feel the professionalism and the care for the client. I recommend them warmly.

Security is just one of our features
A secure site still loses visitors when it's slow, becomes a chore without a good panel, and stays broken when something does go wrong without good support. Here's the rest of the platform.
Security questions
Don't see yours? We're happy to talk through how the platform protects your sites.
Do I need a security plugin?
You don't need a monolith security plugin like Wordfence or Defender. However, we recommend using utility plugins like Sessions (a sessions manager), Two Factor (2FA plugin) or Stream (records WordPress user and system actions). These help you protect the authentication and session management of your site.
What happens if my site gets hacked?
We restore from the most recent clean backup, run a full malware scan and clean the infection, then help you harden your site. No extra charge. It's part of being on a managed platform.
Do you scan plugins for known vulnerabilities?
Yes. Our vulnerability manager tracks every plugin and theme against a live CVE database, with automatic weekly scans. When something on your site has a published CVE, you see it in the panel and we notify you, and we can patch it in one click before it becomes a problem.
Is two-factor authentication enforced?
It's optional and set per user, not enforced, though we strongly recommend turning it on. Each user enables it themselves from their account settings in the panel, using a TOTP authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password.
Do you support custom SSL certificates?
Free Let's Encrypt certificates renew automatically on every site. If you need to bring your own (an EV cert, a wildcard from a specific CA), you can install it from the panel without contacting support.
How do you handle DDoS attacks?
The WAF and rate limiter absorb small and medium attacks at our edge, and an Under Attack mode tightens defences during an active one. For volumetric attacks, we put the site behind Cloudflare. That setup is manual rather than a one-click toggle, so our team does the work with you at no cost.
