Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most. Can't find yours? Write to us.

Is HT Guard included with my hosting?

Yes. HT Guard protects all our web hosting servers: your site benefits automatically, with nothing to switch on and no extra cost.

Do I need a security plugin?

No, it all happens at server level. You can keep your plugin if you like it: there is no conflict.

Does HT Guard slow my site down?

Scanning runs in the background on the server, one file at a time, when files change. It slows itself down when the server is very busy.

Why was my address blocked?

Most often because of several wrong passwords (cPanel, Webmail, email on a phone, FTP). The block is temporary. The unblock page tells you the exact reason and lets you unblock yourself.

How often can I unblock myself?

Once every 7 days per address. If the block comes back, fix the password saved on your devices or contact our support.

What happens if a file on my site is flagged?

The file is locked: it stays on the server but can no longer run. If it was a false alarm, it is given back automatically. Otherwise our support can help you clean your site.

Are my files sent anywhere?

Files are scanned on our own security server. Only the code of a doubtful file is read by the AI, and any passwords and keys in it are removed first.

My site was hacked: what should I do?

Open a ticket from your client area. HT Guard will already have locked the harmful files it found; our team helps you clean the site and change the passwords.

Which panels are supported?

Today, cPanel & WHM, with or without CloudLinux, on Apache or LiteSpeed. The full list is on the Supported panels page.

Can I use HT Guard on my own servers?

Soon. We are preparing a version for hosting companies, to resell to their clients. Sign up on the Resellers page to hear about the launch; prices will be announced in USD.
