Data security

Security, backups and disaster recovery

Most sites are not compromised by a determined attacker studying them for weeks. They are compromised by automated scanners walking the entire IPv4 space, trying known plugin vulnerabilities and credential lists against everything that answers on port 443. Defence against that reality is layered and mostly boring, which is exactly why it works, and why it should already be switched on when your plan is delivered rather than sold as an upsell after the incident.

What runs by default

  • Web application firewall: ModSecurity with continuously updated OWASP and vendor rule sets, tuned per stack to keep false positives low.
  • Malware scanning: Imunify360 scans on write and on schedule, quarantines known-bad files and can auto-clean common injections.
  • Brute-force protection: progressive rate limiting and automatic IP throttling on login endpoints, SSH and mail services.
  • DDoS mitigation: always-on L3/L4 scrubbing at the network edge, with L7 protection available on request.
  • Account isolation: CageFS confines each account to its own virtualised filesystem, so one compromised neighbour cannot read another's data.
  • Free TLS: automatically issued and renewed certificates with modern cipher suites and HSTS available in one click.
  • Patched kernels: KernelCare applies security patches without reboots, removing the trade-off between staying current and staying up.

Backups, and what they actually cover

Website files on every plan are backed up twice a week, with email accounts backed up on a separate schedule so both are protected without either job blocking the other. You can also generate and download a full account backup at any time from cPanel, and our support team can help with a restore if you need one.

A twice-weekly schedule is not the same as continuous protection, and we would rather you knew that than assumed otherwise. If you publish or sell something several times a day, keep your own more frequent backup for the hours between our scheduled runs, particularly for a database that changes constantly, such as an order table.

Compliance-wise, our infrastructure supports GDPR data-residency requirements through EU-only regions, and we sign Data Processing Agreements on request. For workloads touching payment data, our environment is PCI-DSS ready, you still own the compliance of your own application, but the platform underneath will not be the reason an assessment fails.

Support that answers the question you actually asked

Support is where hosting companies quietly differ most, and where the difference is hardest to evaluate before you buy. Every provider claims 24/7 availability. Far fewer will tell you who is on the other end at 03:00 on a Sunday, how many tickets that person is holding, or what percentage get resolved without being escalated into a queue you cannot see.

KryoHost staffs Linux system administrators across three timezones. There is no offshore first line whose job is to send you a knowledgebase link and close the ticket. Our commitment is a first response inside < 15 min on anything service-affecting, escalating automatically to on-call if that is missed. When something does need a second pair of hands it moves to a named senior engineer and you are told who owns it, not dropped into a silent queue.

What is included, and what is genuinely out of scope

Being clear about scope up front prevents the most common support frustration: discovering after an incident that the thing you assumed was covered never was.

Support reaches you through live chat, tickets and email, and (on business and VPS plans) a scheduled screen-share call when something genuinely needs a live conversation. The same standard of engineer answers at any hour, which matters more than it sounds when you are describing an intermittent fault under pressure at two in the morning.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Our team answers pre-sales questions 24/7, usually in under 15 minutes.

No. We have no data-brokerage relationships and no incentive to sell personal information, our revenue comes entirely from customers paying for hosting. We share information only with the vendors who help us deliver the Services, and only under a confidentiality obligation.

Account information (name, email, billing address, phone number and payment information) when you create an account; website usage data collected through cookies and similar technologies; and content information, meaning the files and databases you upload to our servers.

Email care@kryohost.com from your registered address. You can access and update your account information at any time from the client area, opt out of marketing communications, or request that we delete your information, subject to what we are legally required to retain (invoices for tax purposes, for example).

Google Analytics to understand website traffic and behaviour, Microsoft Clarity to analyse interactions and improve usability, and Meta Pixel to measure advertising performance. These services may set their own cookies; you can control cookie behaviour in your browser settings, though some site features may not work correctly with cookies disabled.

Provisioning is automatic and normally completes in under 60 seconds. You receive your control panel login, nameservers and connection details by email the moment the plan is live. Orders paid by bank transfer activate once the payment clears, which usually takes one to two business days.

Yes. Upgrades within the same product family are applied in place, take effect within minutes and are billed pro-rata against your remaining term. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal date, provided your current usage fits within the smaller plan's limits. Moving between product families (shared to VPS, for example) is handled by our migration team at no charge.

It is, with no limit on the number of sites for standard control-panel migrations. Our team handles the copy, verification and DNS cutover, keeps your existing site serving traffic throughout, and retains a rollback copy for 14 days after the switch. Complex custom-stack migrations are quoted individually, and we will tell you before any work starts if yours falls into that category.

You are notified by email well before anything is enforced, with the specific metric and figure included. Brief spikes (a post going viral, a promotion landing) are absorbed rather than punished. Only sustained overuse leads to throttling, and we will always propose a right-sized plan before that point. Nothing is suspended without prior written notice except in cases of active abuse.

Every domain and subdomain on every plan gets a free DV certificate, issued automatically at setup and renewed automatically for as long as the site is hosted with us. Paid OV, EV and wildcard certificates are available if you need a warranty, organisation validation or a single certificate covering unlimited subdomains.

We operate in 47 customer-selectable countries across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and Oceania. You pick your region at checkout, and you can relocate later at no cost. Choose the region closest to the majority of your visitors, it is the single cheapest performance improvement available to you.

Our published SLA is 99.99% measured monthly at the network edge, and it is backed by automatic service credits rather than a claims process. Historical uptime, including every incident and its duration, is on our public status page, the bad months are there alongside the good ones.
