Security
Security features included as standard
We take sensible precautions so you can focus on building your website, not securing your server.
Free SSL via Let's Encrypt
HTTPS for every website, at no cost. Enable from DirectAdmin and your visitors get the padlock icon automatically.
SpamAssassin
Server-level spam filtering on all email accounts. Reduces junk mail before it ever reaches your inbox.
Secure FTP (SFTP)
Connect to your hosting account using SFTP for encrypted file transfers. Plain FTP is also supported where needed.
Firewall protection
Server-level firewall rules are maintained at the infrastructure level. Common attack vectors are blocked before they reach your site.
Automated backups
Weekly backups on Personal plans, daily on Business and Premium. A safety net in case something goes wrong.
Isolated accounts
Each hosting account is isolated from others on the shared server. Issues with one account don't affect others.
PHP & Databases
Modern PHP and MySQL support
Traxio hosting supports current and recent PHP versions. Switch PHP version per-domain from DirectAdmin without needing to contact support.

- Per-domain PHP version switching
