\"InMotion<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

InMotion Hosting has partnered with Monarx, a leader in website and server security, which delivers robust, malware detection and protection modes to its VPS Hosting<\/a> and Dedicated Server<\/a> customers. This partnership enhances security by providing real-time threat detection and elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As cyber threats continue to rise, server security has become crucial for businesses and developers. A 2024 ISACA report<\/a> indicates that 38% of organizations experienced more cyber attacks over the past year. InMotion Hosting offers Monarx as an additional security option to give customers an extra layer of protection without sacrificing server performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Monarx?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monarx<\/a> is a powerful tool that helps keep websites safe by finding and stopping harmful software, called malware, in real time. Malware can include things like phishing scams, adware, webshells (a way hackers try to control websites), and uploaders (tools hackers use to put harmful files on a site).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike older methods that only look for specific malware \u201csignatures\u201d (or fingerprints), Monarx uses smart technology to look at how files behave. This means it can find even hidden malware that doesn\u2019t leave obvious clues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monarx also connects to a large database, which is like a huge library of information about online threats, and it uses special traps, called honeypots, to catch new types of malware. By doing this, Monarx can find and stop new threats across many different websites, helping keep the internet safer for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why InMotion Hosting Chose Monarx<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

InMotion Hosting selected Monarx for its accuracy, ease of use, and powerful real-time threat detection. So far, Monarx has stopped 42 million threats, identified 34.8 million malicious files, and cleaned 7.4 million risky files. This extra protection can potentially safeguard InMotion Hosting\u2019s VPS and Dedicated Server customers from security threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMonarx Security has alleviated many of the challenges we faced with abuse, phishing, and other malicious activities,\u201d says Chase Stricklan, Senior Manager of Data Center Services. \u201cIts advanced detection mechanisms proactively identify and mitigate threats before they escalate, reducing the time our systems team spends on manual interventions. This efficiency has allowed us to reallocate resources toward improving our core infrastructure and services. Overall, Monarx has been instrumental in enhancing our platform\u2019s security posture, increasing trust from our clients and creating a more stable hosting environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional malware detection often flags non-malicious files or misses new threats entirely. Monarx\u2019s behavior-based technology mitigates these risks by offering better protection and even finding files with custom code that might bypass normal security rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Monarx protects sites using older PHP versions, allowing site owners the necessary time to upgrade securely. Since over 50% of sites run on older PHP versions<\/a>, InMotion Hosting chose Monarx to protect customers who rely on these legacy PHP versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committed to delivering high-quality services that simplify our customers\u2019 lives,\u201d said Erik Soroka, Director of IT and DC Operations at InMotion Hosting. \u201cMonarx\u2019s cutting-edge detection technology and proactive protection allow our customers to focus on running their businesses, while Monarx ensures their website security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
