& News about ConfigServer Security & Firewall EOL and your Options for Server Wide Coverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re excited to announce the launch of Monarx<\/strong>, a new domain protection solution now available to customers using Linux-based cPanel\/WHM hosting<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monarx is not your average security tool. It\u2019s an AI-powered, proactive protection system<\/strong> that keeps your website safe by detecting and neutralizing threats before they can do damage. Unlike traditional firewalls or malware scanners that only react after something goes wrong, Monarx works in real time to monitor, block, and automatically clean<\/strong> most types of malicious activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most impressive features of Monarx is its ability to detect outdated plugins and prevent plugin-based hacks<\/strong> \u2014 something especially valuable for WordPress users. The AI-driven engine constantly learns and adapts, so your website stays protected even as new threats emerge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our VPS customers, If you’re hosting one to four websites or<\/strong> have even a single website that needs extra protection<\/strong>, Monarx is a smart and affordable upgrade. It works silently in the background to keep your files clean, your site secure, and your peace of mind intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note: Monarx is only available for Linux servers running cPanel\/WHM<\/strong>. Customers on Windows hosting are not affected by this update or eligible for this product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Notice: CSF Has Reached End of Life<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also want to inform our customers that ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF)<\/strong> \u2014 a long-used security tool on many cPanel servers \u2014 has officially as of August 31, 2025, reached End of Life (EOL)<\/strong>. This means it is no longer being actively maintained or updated, and relying on it leaves your server and sites increasingly vulnerable to modern threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means for Shared Hosting Customers<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re using one of our shared hosting plans on a Linux\/cPanel server, you are not required to take any immediate action. We’re implementing an alternative firewall at the server level to maintain our basic protections as CSF is phased out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, please note that server-level firewalls like these are not designed to protect individual websites from malware or vulnerabilities in code. It’s essential that customers take steps to secure their own sites. This includes performing regular vulnerability scans, keeping software up to date, and considering additional protection services such as Monarx for enhanced site-level security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this means for VPS Customers<\/strong>\u00a0
\u00a0
If you have a Linux VPS package using cPanel\/WHM, you may technically continue using\u00a0the existing CSF, or upon request, we can replace with the opensource community version- but neither will receive regular updates. \u00a0
\u00a0
However, taking advantage of our Monarx product can add various useful layers of protection to your VPS. For example, even though the VPS gives more isolation than shared hosting, you\u2019re still vulnerable to web\u2011application exploits, zero\u2011day plugin vulnerabilities, brute force attempts, things like that. Monarx covers both website layer and server layer, so it adds a layer of defense that you might not have if you just rely on \u201cnormal\u201d server hardening. At the server layer<\/strong>, Monarx goes deeper by detecting and stopping threats that traditional website scanners miss. This includes in-memory malware<\/strong>, which doesn\u2019t leave visible files, and malicious background processes<\/strong>, like crypto miners or bots. It also scans for malicious cron jobs<\/strong> that can reinfect a website on a schedule, and removes hidden persistence mechanisms that attackers use to regain access after cleanup.\u00a0
\u00a0
Also, VPS owners should consider\u00a0performance: you don\u2019t have to worry about a security agent hogging resources. Monarx says the agent is \u201cvery low resource utilization\u201d and designed to run \u201ccontinually\u201d without heavy load. On top of that, reducing the number of infections or malicious hits saves resources (bandwidth, CPU, memory) so it helps stability of your VPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
