At Mediawax, the security of your online ambitions always comes first. However, the digital world never stands still, and unfortunately, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. To protect your website, data, and reputation even better, we have added a powerful new technology to all our hosting packages: the MDS (Malware Database Scanner) from Imunify360.

The best news? This advanced security layer is now included as standard and completely free with every hosting package.

What is MDS and why is it important?

Most traditional malware scanners work based on 'signatures' (digital fingerprints) of known viruses. While effective, this can sometimes be taxing on server performance. The new MDS technology is an intelligent scanner specifically designed for modern websites.

Instead of just looking at individual files, MDS uses a smart database-driven approach. It recognizes malicious patterns and scripts lightning fast, without slowing down your website. The benefits for your website at a glance:

Intelligent detection: MDS recognizes not only well-known viruses but also the latest variants of malware trying to stay under the radar.

No impact on speed: The scanner is extremely efficient. While MDS watches over your files in the background, your website's loading time remains optimal for your visitors.

Proactive protection: As soon as a suspicious file is detected, the system intervenes. This prevents hackers from using your website to send spam or steal data.

Complete peace of mind: You don't have to install or configure anything yourself. We have fully integrated MDS into our infrastructure.

Why we offer this for free

Many hosting providers charge extra for extensive security features. At Mediawax, however, we believe that security should not be an 'extra,' but a fundamental part of good hosting.

By offering MDS as standard, we lower the barrier for entrepreneurs to optimally secure their website. Whether you have a personal blog or a busy webshop: you can count on enterprise-level security.

What do you need to do?

Absolutely nothing! The MDS scanner is already active on our servers. So you benefit immediately from this enhanced protection. It is part of our ongoing mission to make Mediawax hosting not only the fastest, but also the safest in Belgium.
