This guide is written for site owners who want security at server level without becoming security engineers themselves. If that describes you, the decision has a right answer — it just is not the one the comparison-table trade is paid to hand out.
One market fact frames the whole thing: security that lives on the server turns attack traffic away before WordPress is ever involved, which is a fundamentally different vantage point from a plugin that only comes to life once the request is already inside.
What to measure before you order
Here is the scorecard we would use — and the one we invite you to hold us to:
Imunify360 actually licensed and running, rather than the words 'security features' on a feature list.
The whole stack working together: firewall, malware scanning, proactive defence, patch management.
Cleanup included for the day something does slip past the guard.
Protection that operates without the customer ever having to learn its settings.
What to leave on the shelf (and why it is everywhere)
Leaning entirely on a WordPress security plugin — a guard standing inside the application cannot see what a guard beneath it sees.
The pattern lasts because its cost lands later: at renewal, at migration, or at the worst possible point in your growth. The antidote is dull arithmetic — total cost across two or three years, with every 'extra' you would actually need added in.
Where we would honestly send you
Elite-tier hosting with Imunify360 on watch underneath whatever plugin you also like — layers, with the deepest one already handled on your behalf.
On our shelves that means the Elite plan — SSL, migration and mail included, a renewal price matching the order price, and an upgrade path so the choice never has to be made again from scratch.
Order an annual plan and the first year of your domain registration is on the house.
The homework worth doing first
Run the same checks on us as on anybody else: message support before you pay and see who answers, hold the renewal price against the order price, read the refund terms end to end, and look the company up — ours is Bohzo Ltd, registered in England and Wales, and the record is public.
The refund window covers the rest — move a real site across (the free migration makes that painless), live with it for a fortnight, and let daily use settle what no marketing page can.
Why we can afford to give a straight answer
We are a host recommending hosting, and we say it plainly. No pretend neutrality, no league table paid for by referral fees. The trade is openness for trust, and it reads better besides.
Backups run every day on every plan, and putting a file or a database back takes one click from the panel.
- Tests you can run for yourself
- Renewal prices on the tag, not in a footnote
- The free move in makes trying us painless
- A refund policy with no small print
Why Hosting Seller
On every plan, as standard
The essentials on the tag
SSL, migration, backups and mail come with every plan instead of appearing at checkout as extras.
One price, plainly printed
The order price is the renewal price — the comparison that matters is the one we win without trying.
Written for the real buyer
The tests here come out of actual conversations with site owners who want security at server level without becoming security engineers themselves, not off a feature spreadsheet.
Matched to this verdict
The Elite plan is this page's recommendation made concrete — one flat price, essentials included, upgradeable in place.
NVMe and LiteSpeed as standard
The performance kit other hosts reserve for premium tiers is simply how our plans are built.
A real ladder to climb
Shared, VPS and dedicated all under one roof — today's choice never boxes you in tomorrow.
First Steps
From choosing to live
- 1
Write the requirement in one sentence
One honest sentence about the workload beats an afternoon of feature-table comparison, so write it before you go shopping.
- 2
Price the second year, not the first
Teaser rates are this market's favourite trick, so compare hosts on what year two costs and the field reorders itself on the spot.
- 3
Try it inside the refund window
A live trial with your own site answers what no review can, and the free migration plus the refund policy make that trial genuinely risk-free.

Across the Counter
The questions we get asked most
What is it that Imunify360 actually does?
It is a suite living on the server: a web application firewall, a malware scanner that cleans up as well as reports, intrusion prevention, and proactive defence that recognises exploit patterns. All of it runs below your site, all day and all night.
Do I still want a security plugin alongside it?
You can have one, for application-level conveniences such as login hardening and an activity log. The heavy interception happens at server level regardless, so the plugin becomes seasoning rather than the meal.
Do you shift an existing site across at no charge?
We do. Open a ticket with the login details for your current host and the whole lot comes over: files, databases, mailboxes and configuration. You check the copy before DNS changes hands, and the old site keeps serving customers until the new one takes the traffic, so nobody ever sees a gap.
Is the SSL certificate genuinely free?
On every plan, with nothing held back. The certificate is issued the moment your domain points here and reissues itself well before expiry. The encryption is the same as a paid DV certificate — paid tiers exist only for wildcard coverage or organisation validation, which most sites never need.
How quickly can I be up and running?
Minutes, not days. The account opens the moment the order clears, the domain — free for year one on annual plans — attaches straight away, and the one-click installer puts WordPress or any of 400+ applications on the page before you leave your chair. Already have a site elsewhere? Hand it over and we move it free, usually inside a day.
How do I pay, and does it bill again on its own?
Orders go through a secure checkout by credit or debit card, and the renewal is taken at the same price you first paid. Every invoice sits in the client area for you to read, and switching auto-renewal off is a toggle in your account rather than a phone call.
What happens to my files if I leave?
The site and the files stay yours. Pull a full backup from the panel whenever you like, before or during cancellation. Domains remain registered in your name for the term you paid for and can move to any registrar once the standard 60-day window has passed.
