SShield is a feature in all our managed VPS plans. The security monitoring tool is an integral part of SPanel, your all-in-one helper in hosting service management.
No extra fees, No technical knowledge needed!
You simply need to choose the best server configuration, and the Scala Team will take care of the rest.
SShield is an integral part of the SPanel hosting management platform and, as such, comes at no added cost to the client. The ScalaHosting Support Team takes care of all initial configurations and ensures that SShield functions properly and with optimal settings.
SShield uses pattern recognition algorithms to monitor server requests, file system changes, and database queries in real-time. When it detects anomalous behavior (like unusual admin login attempts, suspicious file uploads, or known malware signatures), it automatically blocks the threat and sends you a detailed notification. These alerts include the type of attack, affected files, IP source, and specific remediation actions taken. Our system updates its threat database hourly through our global security network which processes data from over 100,000 servers, allowing us to quickly respond to emerging threats without manual updates.
No, SShield will not affect your site performance in any way. Our tool is designed with performance as a priority. Unlike plugin-based security tools that run within your application, SShield operates at the server level. Our benchmarks show an average overhead of less than 5ms per request, and we use selective scanning that only activates deep inspection for suspicious traffic patterns. During our monthly performance tests comparing identical sites with and without SShield, we consistently measure zero impact on TTFB and page load times.
Zero technical experience is required when working with SShield. The tool is preconfigured as part of SPanel. All you need to do is pick the SPanel plan you feel will work best for you, and SShield will start protecting your server and websites automatically.
Should any vulnerabilities arise, you'll get an instant alert and a detailed report so you can take the necessary actions before the risk turns into a real issue.
