Trusted by professionals. 180+ five-star reviews on Trustpilot & G2.
The Security Stack
A managed hosting platform with defense at every layer — network edge, container, file system, and application.
Cloudflare WAF & DDoS Protection
Cloudflare WAF and DDoS mitigation included on every plan. OWASP Top 10 rules, bot mitigation, and edge-level filtering before traffic ever reaches your site.
Container Isolation
Every environment runs in its own isolated container with dedicated CPU, RAM, and PHP workers. A compromise on one customer's site can't reach yours.
Malware Scanning & Removal
Behavioral malware detection powered by Monarx — watches what files do, not just what they look like, and catches obfuscated threats signature scanners miss. Free professional cleanup on Business plans and above.
Advanced SiteShield
Powered by Patchstack — virtual patches deploy automatically when a plugin or theme vulnerability is disclosed, so you stay protected before you have a chance to update. $4/month per site.
Daily Backups & 1-Click Restore
Automated daily backups plus on-demand snapshots. Roll back the entire site or restore individual files straight from the dashboard.
Free SSL & HTTPS
Free SSL certificates issued, installed, and auto-renewed for every site. HTTP/3 over QUIC at the Cloudflare edge for fast, encrypted connections.
Defense at Every Layer
Threats get filtered, contained, scanned, and patched before they can do damage.
Threats Stopped Before They Hit Your Site
Cloudflare's WAF inspects every request at 300+ global edge locations. Malicious traffic — SQL injection, cross-site scripting, credential stuffing, brute-force attempts — gets filtered before it reaches your server.
DDoS mitigation is included on every plan. Volumetric and application-layer attacks are absorbed at the edge so your origin stays online.
Where Rapyd Cloud Pulls Ahead on Security
Two moments that matter most: when a vulnerability is announced, and when something slips through anyway.
Advanced SiteShield
Vulnerable Plugin? You're Already Patched.
When a plugin or theme vulnerability is disclosed, the window between announcement and your next manual update is when most sites get hit. Advanced SiteShield closes that window.
Powered by Patchstack, virtual patches are written and deployed as firewall rules running inside WordPress as soon as a CVE drops. Exploit attempts are blocked before the vulnerable code can run — while you wait for the official plugin update, with no manual intervention required.
Available as a $4/month per-site add-on.
Malware Response
When Something Slips Through, We Clean It Up
Monarx watches every file activity in your container in real time. Detection is behavioral, not signature-based — obfuscated and zero-day threats that evade pattern matching get caught, quarantined, and flagged to our security team.
If a cleanup is needed, our team handles the entire incident — no retainer, no per-incident fee, no DIY remediation. Free professional malware cleanup is included on Business plans and above.

Security FAQ
Common questions about Rapyd Cloud security.
What's included in Rapyd Cloud's security by default?
Every plan includes Cloudflare's WAF and DDoS protection, free SSL certificates with auto-renewal, container isolation per environment, daily backups with 1-click restore, and real-time malware scanning. Business plans and above add free professional malware cleanup. Advanced SiteShield (Patchstack-powered virtual patching) is available as a $4/month per-site add-on.
What is Advanced SiteShield, and how does Patchstack fit in?
Advanced SiteShield is our virtual patching add-on, powered by Patchstack. When a vulnerability is disclosed in a WordPress plugin or theme, Patchstack writes a virtual patch that runs as a firewall rule inside WordPress — blocking exploit attempts before the vulnerable code can run. You stay protected through the window between disclosure and the official plugin update, which is when most attacks happen. It's $4/month per site.
How does Rapyd Cloud handle DDoS attacks?
DDoS mitigation is handled at the Cloudflare edge across 300+ global locations. Volumetric attacks are absorbed by Cloudflare's network capacity before they ever hit your origin, and application-layer attacks are filtered by the WAF. There's no per-attack fee, no bandwidth surcharge, and no need for a separate DDoS service.
What happens if my site gets infected with malware?
Monarx-powered behavioral detection automatically catches and quarantines malicious files — including obfuscated and zero-day threats that signature scanners miss. If a cleanup is needed, our security team handles the full incident — investigation, removal, and hardening — at no extra cost on Business plans and above. You don't need a security retainer or a separate cleanup service. Daily backups give you a clean restore point if rollback is the right call.
How does container isolation protect my site?
Every Rapyd Cloud environment runs in its own isolated container with dedicated CPU, RAM, PHP workers, and a hardened file system. Process boundaries and network namespaces keep workloads separated, so a vulnerability or compromise on another customer's site can't reach your data, code, or credentials. It also means another customer's traffic spike or runaway script never affects your performance.
Are SSL certificates and HTTPS included?
Yes. Free SSL certificates are issued, installed, and auto-renewed for every site, and HTTPS is enforced by default. HTTP/3 over QUIC is enabled at the Cloudflare edge for faster, encrypted connections without any setup on your end.
How often are backups taken, and how do I restore?
Backups run automatically every day, and you can take an on-demand snapshot any time before a risky change. Restoring is a 1-click action from the Rapyd Cloud dashboard — restore the entire site or pull individual files out of any backup. Backups are stored separately from your live container.
