How It Works ...explains... Why You Need It.
Meet Krystal and Matt, Online eCommerce Sellers...
Business is very good for Krystal and Matt. They used HostingDude's SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Suite which made their site very visible high atop Google's natural results, plus they regularly send out specials to existing customers new potential customers signing up on the website using HostingDude's Email Marketing, so they have plenty of new and return shoppers visiting their site.
BUT, among their many website visitors, unbeknownst to Krystal and Matt, is a hacker, wanting valuable customer information, probing for weaknesses to break in.
Their Target Selected, The Hackers Attack...
The Threat Becomes a Real Intrusion
Exploiting a weakness, the hacker plants malware on Krystal and Matt's site!
HostingDude's Website Security could have helped Prevent That From Even Happening, and HostingDude's Website Security DELUXE is built specifically to Prevent Such Instrustions.
But, let's assume worst-case here, and look at the difference of what happens after a successful intrusion both WITHOUT and WITH the safety monitoring and intervention by either plan: HostingDude's Website Security ESSENTIAL or DELUXE.
Without
HostingDude's Website Security
Powered by Sucuri, the Recognized Global Leader in Website Safety and Reputation: Both Protection and Restoration.
Krystal and Matt's customers begin to see offensive messages and leave in disgust, deciding never to return.
This would be bad enough for their business, but it's mere child's play... it's the twisted self-entertainment for a malicious hacker, who next does even worse — outright theft by diverting clients to a phishing site...
Krystal and Matt continue with business as usual, with nothing alerting them to a problem. They may notice a drop-off in business, but some days are up-and-down anyway, so this doesn't alert them. Finally, they get an email or two from upset customers wondering what's wrong...
This intrusion is news to Krystal and Matt, who had no idea there was anything wrong. And now they must set about finding the problem, and opening up their infected site without protection, possibly causing the spread of the malware to their other sites on the same server.
Meanwhile, Krystal and Matt's Customers are now in real danger of becoming fraud victims. The hacker puts in his own pages to substitute for Krystal and Matt's page — now many visitors are taken to a fake site at time of purchase, where they hand over their payment cards and bank information without suspecting a thing.
Who will Krystal and Matt's Customers Blame for This When They Later Discover They've Been Defrauded By Software and Links on Krystal and Matt's Website?
We're Fairly Certain, At Minimum, They Won't Stay On As Customers. And Now They Have Their Own Legal Mess to Untangle, and a Theft to Report to Authorities.
By the time Krystal and Matt notice something's wrong, customers are spreading the public-relations damage all over the internet.
Social Media is ablaze with the damaging news. Twitter and Facebook posts are pouring in, and worse yet, getting shared, scaring away potential customers and making existing customers feel unsafe, and perhaps start asking questions publically. Disaster!
Now Krystal and Matt's Site is Blocked by Most Browsers and the browsers not outright blocking it Post Frightening Warnings to Visitors turning them away.
The Site is Virtually UN-accessible from anywhere, desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile, all browsers and security apps are Blocking Krystal and Matt's Site.
Things Just Got Real.
How Did that Happen So Fast?
HostingDude's Website Security knows exactly how this happens: Security Companies who make Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, and Anti-Phishing software each have a BLACKLIST. Krystal and Matt's site was automatically added when one of those products detected the problem ANY of its customers browsers or mobile devices — then EVERY SECURITY COMPANY had Krystal and Matt's Site Blacklisted, because Security Companies SHARE THEIR BLACKLISTS.
When customers try to visit, they're blocked by a red splash screen saying the site is Malware-Infected or it's Phishing-Site.
At minimum, a Frightening Warning Pops Up saying the Site is Dangerous and Users Should Not Visit.
By now, Google and other Search Engines take notice, and with BLACKLISTS of their own, they add Krystal and Matt's site to the "Naughty List" and remove it from search results — utterly destroying it's hard-earned high ranking in an instant, and then often also site-blocks, or warns severely about visiting the site, in their own browsers and mobile devices.
Now even customers without an Anti-Malware software loaded are getting warned away or blocked the browser itself!
Can Krystal and Matt's Website — and their Business Itself, Survive Such a Mess?
Could Your Site Survive?
With
HostingDude's Website Security
Powered by Sucuri, the Recognized Global Leader in Website Safety and Reputation: Both Protection and Restoration.
HostingDude's Website Security product's daily scan discovers the malware, notifying Krystal and Matt of where it took place, what's affected, and when it happened.
Since they're protected by HostingDude's Website Security, it then removes the malware automatically. Now all is secure, and Krystal and Matt are just one or two minutes away from full repair...
Any damaged or changed pages can be restored within seconds because Krystal and Matt subscribe to the best value on the net: HostingDude's Website Backup product, which puts their site back to exactly the way it was before the intrusion.
And depending on their detailed report of the problem pages they have in-hand from HostingDude's Website Security product, Krystal and Matt have the choice of quickly restoring only the affected pages, or, with a single-click, restore the entire site.
Done! Restored, Green and Clean!
Krystal and Matt’s customers continue to browse their eCommerce Shopping Cart Website, safely and without interruption, as HostingDude's Website Security keeps scanning in the background.
Now Comes the Critical Stage-2 Protection Provided by HostingDude's Website Security:
Was the Site's Reputation Harmed, or was the Site BLACKLISTED, from this Hack?
Krystal and Matt don't need to worry about either of these because HostingDude's Website Security handles not only Monitoring (with Essential product) and also adds Prevention (with Deluxe product), with either product, Matt and Karen receive REPUTATION PROTECTION and BLACKLIST REMOVALon a 12-Hour Response Guarantee — a benefit included with both the Essential and Deluxe versions of HostingDude's Website Security.
Again, it's back on patrol for HostingDude's Website Security which now checks Reputation with Security Companies and anti-malware software to be sure their profitable site isn't blocked by a red-screen saying their site is unsafe, nor are any anti-phishing or anti-malware site warnings displayed to customers who come to visit Krystal and Matt's site on browsers, tablets, or by mobile devices.
Site-Blocking Can and Does Happen.
It Means Your Site Is BLACKLISTED.
These are the Repercussions of a Hack
They are Very Serious and Can Block Your Site.
They Require Mitigation and Removal from Blacklists.
This is not a simple process, because it only takes one Security Company or even just one report from one user's browser running anti-phishing or anti-malware detection. And security companies, share information with each other, so when you get on one BLACKLIST, very soon you'll be on almost all of them.
But Krystal and Matt know they're covered, and will soon be removed from any such BLACKLISTS so they won't have lasting damage from the hack. HostingDude's Website Security handles that automatically. It monitors for any change in status (addition to BLACKLISTS), and then sends the necessary removal messages, along with a Clean-Certification from Sucuri that the site is now safe.
In cases where more than just automated notices are needed to fix the problem, HostingDude's Website Security utilizes expert staffers, including top techs from Sucuri, who specialize in BLACKLIST REMOVAL to get Krystal and Matt's site certified clean again and removed from all blacklists monitored, taking away those scary warnings (or worse, page-blocking red splash-screens!) that are so damaging.
So even in the Worst Case, where BlackListing has occurred due to a hack, HostingDude's Website Security's 12-Hour Response Guarantee means Krystal and Matt are CLEAN and GREEN, ASAP!
Krystal and Matt may be fictional, but what happened is fact. It happens every day, to hundreds of sites; thousands of people.
But your story can be just as successful as this positive outcome for Krystal and Matt — by taking very cheap precautions they avoided a very expensive mess.
Survival: Built Right In!
For Your Site, The Choice is Yours...
Let's keep this a CAUTIONARY TALE for Krystal and Matt, especially the version at left where they go un-protected after infection, and they remain infected without knowing, until their once-booming onlines business is finished off for good when their site's BLACKLISTING goes un-mitigated.
Don't Let Your Site Drop Out of Sight!
Keep your profits and reputation safe with HostingDude's Website Security Deluxe and get not only mitigation afterwards, but more importantly get active prevention against malware infections before they can happen.

*Important Pricing Information - Helping You Get Maximum Discount!
Don't forget you always get the lowest pricing we can offer just for stopping by and seeing the ol' HostingDude. We're saying "Thanks for Visiting Us" and we're saying it in cash, with discounts up to 88% or more, and always, for anything not already on sale, we're saying it with a fantastic 15%-OFF EVERYTHING we sell.
We've already included this Always 15%-Off discount in our displayed "Add-to-Cart" pricing wherever it applies, and minimum purchase is only total of $1, so that covers pretty much everything we sell and renew.
You'll see our pricing shown to you with our prior (already discounted) pricing, crossed out, and next to that old price we show you the Lower Pricing You WILL Receive — that's a Real Discount and you'll see it in your CART at CHECKOUT — Look at the CART TOTAL, and NOT in each item's line-item price, where it may not always appear.
The lower price will always be factored into the Cart Total at the bottom of the Shopping Cart.
See your Discount(s) in the Shopping Cart's Total at the BOTTOM LINE ...literally, it's the last line:
• Keep in mind: You Won't Usually See Your Discount in Each Item's Line Item Price in your Cart. Look Lower!
• You Will See Your Discounts In the FINAL (truly "bottom-line") TOTAL PRICE at the Bottom of your Cart.
• That TOTAL price will be Lower than the total of the line items, because it reflects the discounted amount(s).
The shopping cart always takes into account all possible discounts and gives you the maximum possible savings allowed (it allows no stacking nor double-dipping of most discounts) — giving you the FULL DISCOUNT in your total price. (Look for it! It's right in there. You'll see it.)
So don't disappoint that sentimental ol' HostingDude — he'd be breakin' down in tears if you left your discount behind at the cart... Please remember:
Use the code; Use the code; Use the code... and SAVE!
REMEMBER, make sure our thank-you PROMO-CODE: HDX appears in your cart at checkout.
Renewals Too? Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Renewals Are Discounted Too! Just as long as you come back and see us and make sure to do your renewals using PROMO CODE: HDX in your cart at checkout.
Almost Every Renewal Qualifies!
Product Add-Ons and Options Too? Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Almost ALL ADD-ON PRODUCTS QUALIFY, for example, our fantastic Domain Name Privacy — Already FREE with 5+ Domains, and Discounted to $1.95 for single domains... but now with that same Promo Code HDX you'll enjoy our incredible Private Domain Name (WHOIS Privacy) service, not for $1.95 but only $1.66 for single domains!
Naw, the HostingDude really is not crazy...
Although we hear it all the time — the HostingDude must be crazy to discount just about everything in sight!
And who ever heard of DISCOUNTING RENEWALS ??? Nobody does that, except of course the HostingDude...
Sure there's Fine Print... We Like to Put it in Big 14-Px Bold Type.
As always, just like anywhere else, pay attention to the terms and conditions. Here at HostingDude.com, they're pretty straightforward, and our goal is to make sure you get your discounts offered.
So you can call us, Toll-Free, 24/7/365, of course. And this following TIP will probably iron out any shopping cart discount "wrinkles" in the unlikely event you come across one:
Here's a Great Tip if You're Not Seeing a Bottom-Line Total Cart Price You'd Planned to See:
Sometimes mixing certain sale/promo items in the same cart transaction with our non-sale thank-you discount items — those 15%-Off HDX items — can cause the thank-you discount not to apply. Easiest way to fix that is buy your sale/promo items in separate transactions whenever possible then go to town with 15%-OFF just about everything else we sell.
Take ALL your 15% Discounts Including: Most Product Add-Ons ...plus... Almost Every Renewal!
As emphasized above, our nearly-universal 15%-Off almost always includes the product add-ons also... Such as including Domain Privacy and Extra Features of Dedicated Servers and VPS and other Hosting Products optionally added.
And yes, of course, it pretty much Always Includes RENEWALS Too! Yes, just about anything that isn't already on sale or promo is included at 15%-Off, and sometimes those items are discounted too, taking you 15% BELOW a Special Sale Price on many items!
Just add the Promo Code: HDX in your shopping cart.
You Must Renew Manually entering a valid Promo Code to get Discounted Renewals
Discount/Promo Codes Are NOT "Auto-Added" on Auto-Renewals...
...And Can Not Be Added (discount deducted) after an Auto-Renewal or Any Transaction is Complete
Renewal Discounts: Don't forget you MUST come back and see us each renewal time and enter our best discount code into your Shopping Cart to take advantage of our best deal on those renewals. No discount codes are ever added on an Auto-Renewal nor can they be added (nor discount deducted) after any transaction of any time.
That's the Whole Point of Giving Renewals on Discounts — the HostingDude wants you to come back and see what we have to offer that's new or currently on sale, or otherwise something you need or want at a GREAT DEAL for you!
Plus, that sentimental ol' HostingDude, well, he just misses ya when you're gone too long. So he makes it EASY:
1. The HostingDude sends lots of "your item is coming up for renewal" notices to your email address as registered with us — so make your email address with us is current and accurate and you can always control what we send you right in your Account Settings
2. Each time you log-in to your Account Settings to do anything with a product of any sort, you'll see a notification bell and message count up top — and in those notifications and messages we put reminders about expiring products needing renewals.
3. How Do You Know the Latest, Greatest DISCOUNT CODE...?
We make that one pretty easy — we plaster our latest discount code all over our pages just as we're doing now with this one, already mentioned half a dozen times in this terms and conditions section alone.
We will make SURE our Best Discount Code will jump out at you, so take it and use it to save big at renewal time.
The Shopping Cart Knows All and Wins All Disputes On Final Discounted Pricing:
The Cart is the Oracle: Right there in our not-so-horrible terms and conditions as well as right here is the fact that the Shopping Cart is gonna decide any close calls on these and all discounts, combinability, and final pricing.
The Cart is programmed to give you the best possible discount on your total order when there are conflicts or multiple possible discounts it could apply. But just call us if you think the Cart is wrong or not giving you the best deal. We'll fix that!
That's because the Cart is also programmed to prevent stacking of discounts or double-dipping of discounts, so that an item already on sale often (but not always) cannot be discounted further by a promo code like our HDX 15%-Off Code.
Therefore combining sales items with Promo Discount items (just about EVERYTHING!) in the cart may cause the cart to select only one discount or promo that it thinks gives the best overall savings, and it applies only that sale or promo.
When the above happens, you can often still get all your discounts, on all your items, just by doing several separate transactions as follows:
1. Buy your NON-HDX-Promo-Code items (the stuff on special sales, either with no code or other codes) in one or more transaction(s) first.
2. Complete those transactions taking those full discounts
3. Then buy the ordinary-price items on which you're using the HDX 15%-Off Code in separate transaction(s).
4. Now you've gotten the best deals on everything:
It's easily done — since it's simple to add and remove items in the cart and look at the cart total at the bottom and calculate out each discount being given, item by item, and you'll easily see what's combinable.
Multiple transactions separated by type-of-discount usually solve any such issues with the cart where you think you may not be getting your full discount credit for all items. And if that doesn't get you the price you see being offered or think is possible, just call us Toll-Free 24/7/365 and let us help you get every deal we offer!
The Best Up-Time Guarantee You'll Never Even Need:
...but just in case, and so you know exactly what we promise, provide, and guarantee...
†† HostingDude.com's Always-Up, Always-Fast, No-Excuses Guarantee is our promise of 99.9% Uptime, backed by a refund guarantee if we don't meet our promises. See our Terms and Conditions in our FAQ and Support Sections for more information on this promise, and our commitment to your full satisfaction.
Frankly, we'd like to say 100% Uptime guarantee, but the lawyers tell us we can't really do that, even though our pristine record of dependability is far closer to 100.0% Uptime than it is to 99.9% Uptime.
And that's OK, since we would rather under-promise and OVER-DELLIVER, then see you pleased and happy when you experience a very typical ZERO downtime.
We can do this thanks to our award-winning data center and the finest staff of expert technicians, server and network engineers, who keep our modern, redundant, more-than-amply resourced equipment always up, and always at the top speeds you need for every hosting and server plan we proudly provide.
