Quick answer
How SiteHosts keeps your site separated and secure.
- Security is a habit. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
- Backups are your safety net. Know how to restore before you need it.

SiteHosts uses CloudLinux and CageFS to enforce separation.
This reduces risk from neighbouring sites.
