SiteLock's scanning package provides an initial website scan to check applications for infiltration's, then performs daily malware and network scans. Once a website is determined to be secure, that site is able to display a SiteLock Trust Seal on their webpage. HostUpon will be offering SiteLock's services through the company's brands, HostHero and UptimeHost to the over 17,000 domains it supports. "We're really excited about partnering with SiteLock, since they're known to be a heavy hitter with a remarkable reputation in the industry," says HostUpon CEO, Alfez Zelji. "The driving factor for us is the additional security they will bring forward. Website security is a big focus for us, since our clients have always been paramount within our mission. Giving our clients the ability to use SiteLock to enhance website security is the number one priority for our quality, service and overall offering." ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hosting/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [Top 50 Hosting Brands to Know ![Top 50 Hosting Brands to Know](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gradient-regular-logo-mark-Jan-22-2023-11-42-52-1912-PM-Apr-10-2023-01-09-06-7749-PM-Apr-25-2023-03-02-50-8279-AM-May-01-2023-09-20-11-9539-PM.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hosting/top-50-hosting-brands-to-know) ### [Hosting Migration Services ![Hosting Migration Services](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/hostmysite-mini-2-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hosting/hosting-migration-services) ### [DreamHost's Cloud Storage Service Goes Beta ![DreamHost's Cloud Storage Service Goes Beta](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/dreamhost-2-1-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hosting/dreamhost-takes-cloud-storage-service-to-the-public-beta) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
