Security and Uptime Commitment

At ICDSoft, we strive to design and implement the most powerful hosting service possible without compromising on security or uptime. Our system administrators have put in a lot of effort into hardening our server setup, and you can read more about it below.

What Makes ICDSoft Secure аnd Reliable

Virtualization and Account Security

Our servers run on the Kernel‑based Virtual Machine (KVM), a virtualization technology built directly into the Linux kernel and further hardened with our own custom patches. This design turns the kernel into a hypervisor operating as close to the underlying hardware as possible. The machines themselves use modern Intel Xeon processors and SSD storage in RAID configurations, ensuring both speed and stability. To protect every user, we enforce strict per‑account separation with dynamic permission controls, helping mitigate even severe zero‑day vulnerabilities in Apache and PHP.

Advanced Server and Site Monitoring

We monitor all servers and systems 24/7, 365 days a year. We have both in-house and commercial software keeping watch over our full infrastructure on three continents, and in the rare event when our technical staff has to take action, we do so within seconds of being notified. We take pride in the reaction speed of our on-site technicians, system administrators, and support staff, who always ensure that any potential incidents are handled immediately, while our customers are well-informed.

Automated Brute-force Protection

We utilize an advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF) with thousands of custom rules, in addition to an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to prevent millions of brute-force and exploit attempts on a daily basis. This powerful combination fights off aggressive attacks against all of the services we provide - email, FTP, SSH, Control Panel, and web access, and it also "hides" common known vulnerabilities of popular web software. This not only helps to keep your sites protected at all times, but it also saves up on system resources such as CPU and MySQL minutes, ultimately allowing bigger sites to run on smaller plans.

Email Security

Your incoming email is protected by multiple advanced systems that work together to block viruses and spam. Our spam filters adapt based on your mailbox behavior, learning from what you mark or move. We also verify the reputation of sending servers using trusted real-time sources, including premium ones. To help ensure your emails reach major providers, we have implemented SPF and DKIM authentication by default. Your mailboxes can be completely secured by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for Webmail, and restricting non-webmail access over POP3/IMAP/SMTP.

Power and Network Resilience

In order to ensure availability for customers at all times, the server racks in our data centers are powered by multiple power circuits going to multiple Power Supply Units, by way of multiple smart Power Distribution Units. Network redundancy is solved with multiple BGP uplinks, routed through a combination of multiple routers, switches, and network cards for each rack.

Uptime Guarantee

When searching for a new hosting provider, it is reassuring to see that a lot of the companies out there advertise a respectable 99.9% uptime. What they won't tell you is that for one year, that remaining 0.01% percent amounts to almost nine hours. Our distributed uptime statistic is 99.997%, or a total downtime of 15 minutes!

We calculate downtime when it is caused by circumstances reasonably within our control, and when clients' sites are inaccessible as a result. We are not responsible for outages caused by network issues outside of our own networks and data centers, natural disasters, DDoS attacks, or problems that are local to your ISP and/or devices. Our routine server maintenance and upgrades are usually announced well in advance, and carried out within the scheduled maintenance windows. Outages during such periods are also not counted towards our servers' total downtime statistics.
