This guide explains how to scan website files for malware for a VastyHost hosting account.
- Confirm that the domain points to the correct VastyHost server.
- Open the domain's hosting or security settings in Plesk.
- Apply the requested security or SSL change.
- Test the website over HTTPS and check for browser certificate warnings.
- Keep passwords unique, software updated, and backups stored separately from the live website.
Before you begin
Keep a current backup before changing production website files, databases, DNS, PHP settings, or application configuration. Exact menu names can vary slightly by Plesk and application version.
