Why Conetix?

Truly Managed. Genuinely Human.

Most "managed" hosting is just a cron job with a marketing label. We're different — an Australian-based team of real engineers who personally oversee every WordPress site we host, so you can stop worrying about your website and get back to running your business.

human-managed
Human-Managed, Not Bot-Managed Every update, plugin change, and core upgrade is checked, applied, and signed off by an Australian engineer — never by an automated script left to run unattended.

Look over Daniel’s shoulder. Real human, real reviews.

This is what one of our engineers actually does on a managed hosting for WordPress site. Not a script, not a cron job — an Australian-based human checking, deciding, and signing off every change before it goes near your live site.

Every site is somebody’s livelihood. I treat each one like I’d want mine treated — back it up first, read the changelog, watch the logs, and never push something I haven’t actually looked at.

How We Protect Your WordPress Site

From edge filtering and live traffic inspection to enterprise-grade hardening and in-app patching — every layer is monitored and managed by our Australian team. Below is exactly what's running between attackers and your site.

Live defence in depth

Every request runs a multi-layer gauntlet before it reaches your site.

Watch traffic enter the stack: legitimate visitors get through, malicious requests and bad bots get stopped at the layer that catches them — and exploit attempts are auto-patched in flight.

Internet

Mixed traffic

  • Legit visitors
  • Good bots (Google)
  • Malicious requests
  • Bad bots & scanners
L1 · Gateway

Firewall & IDS / IPS

Network-edge filtering before traffic ever touches the server.

Live IP blocklist feed
  • Drops known bad IPs on sight
  • Detects intrusions in real time
  • Blocks DDoS & protocol abuse
L2 · Server

Imunify360

AI-driven, six-layer server protection.

The 6-Layer Protection Stack

Defence in depth — at every level

Imunify360 layers six independent protection systems on top of each other. If one layer misses something, the next one catches it.

01🌐
Network Firewall
57M+ domains feed a global blocklist that stops attackers at the perimeter.
02🛡️
WebShield
Invisible JavaScript challenge filters bots and DoS — no CAPTCHAs for humans.
03🔥
Web Application Firewall
Inspects every request for SQL injection, XSS and known plugin exploits.
04🦠
File-Level Scanner
Real-time on-disk malware scanning quarantines threats the moment they're written.
05⚡
Proactive Defense
Real-time PHP analysis stops zero-day attacks by behaviour — not signatures.
06📜
Intrusion Detection / Prevention
Continuous log monitoring auto-bans brute-force attackers across every service.
01 🌐 Network Firewall
Stops known bad actors at the outermost perimeter

The network firewall leverages our global threat intelligence network, which collects attack data from over 57 million domains worldwide. When an attack is detected on one server, the offending IP is immediately blocked across the entire network — preventing that attacker from reaching any other server protected by Imunify.

57M+ domains Real-time IP propagation Perimeter defence
02 🛡️ WebShield
Filters bots and DoS — without CAPTCHAs

WebShield sits in front of web servers to detect and filter malicious traffic, including botnet attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) attempts. Suspicious traffic is met with an invisible JavaScript challenge that blocks automated bots while remaining passthrough for human visitors — no CAPTCHAs, no friction.

Bot & botnet filtering DoS mitigation Invisible to humans
03 🔥 WAF
Inspects every request, blocks application-layer attacks

The WAF inspects incoming traffic to identify and block common attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and illegal resource access. It also provides virtual patching — shielding known WordPress plugin vulnerabilities before an official patch is released or applied.

SQLi & XSS Virtual patching Resource lockdown
04 🦠 File Scanner
Real-time on-disk malware scanning

Not every threat arrives as web traffic. Nulled plugins, FTP uploads, compromised dev machines — Imunify360 scans every file the moment it hits disk and quarantines anything malicious automatically. Backed by 12M+ signatures, ML detection and heuristics.

12M+ signatures ML detection Auto-quarantine
05 ⚡ Proactive Defense
Real-time PHP analysis — stops zero-day attacks

Our signature real-time PHP script evaluation engine analyses what scripts are doing as they execute, identifying and blocking malicious behaviour before it can cause harm. This is our answer to zero-day attacks — it stops brand-new, unknown threats that signature-based scanners would otherwise miss.

Runtime analysis Zero-day defence Behaviour-based
06 📜 IDS / IPS
Reads server logs, blocks brute-force patterns

The IDS/IPS continuously monitors server logs for suspicious activity such as repeated failed login attempts. When a pattern indicates a brute-force or exploit attempt, it automatically blocks the offending IP system-wide — protecting every service, not just web traffic.

24/7 log monitoring Pattern recognition System-wide auto-ban

WordPress Hardening
Additional Security Measures Applied ✓ Applied
Our team manages additional hardening rules specific to your WordPress website
▼

On top of Imunify360 and SSL, every Managed WordPress site is hardened on day one with the security baseline below. Items marked reversible can be turned off if your site genuinely requires it — just ask.

✓Restrict access to files and directories
✓Block directory browsingreversible
✓Block access to wp-config.phpreversible
✓Disable PHP execution in cache directoriesreversible
✓Block access to sensitive filesreversible
✓Block access to xmlrpc.phpreversible
✓Forbid PHP execution in wp-includesreversible
✓Forbid PHP execution in wp-content/uploadsreversible
✓Disable script concatenation in WP adminreversible
✓Turn off pingbacksreversible
✓Disable file editing in the WP Dashboardreversible
✓Enable bot protectionreversible
✓Block access to potentially sensitive filesreversible
✓Block access to .htaccess and .htpasswdreversible
✓Block author scansreversible
✓Configure WordPress security keys
✓Disable unused scripting languages
✓Change default database table prefix
✓Change default administrator's username
Why this matters — automated bots scan the public internet looking for default WordPress paths, files and usernames. Closing those off shrinks the attack surface dramatically before Imunify360 even has to step in.
