Not on Hostney.

Tasks Ellie handles
Bot protection
Stop bots from burning your resources
Up to 40% of web traffic is automated. Scrapers, scanners, and credential stuffers waste your CPU, RAM, and bandwidth. Our bot detection catches them automatically so your resources serve real visitors.
Proof-of-work challenges
Suspicious IPs get a computational puzzle. Real browsers solve it in 2 seconds. Bots can't.
Machine learning model
An adaptive ML model trains on real traffic patterns, improving detection accuracy over time with every challenge outcome.
Verified bot protection
Googlebot, Bingbot, and 25+ verified crawlers are exempted by dual-verification: UA match plus IP range confirmation.
Zero configuration
Active from the moment your site goes live. No plugins, no setup, no maintenance. It just works.

Security by design
Security at every layer
Container isolation, SELinux enforcing, real-time malware detection, and kernel hardening. Every component is locked down from the moment it runs.
Container isolation
Every account runs in its own isolated container with dedicated resources and traffic-based throttling. One site's spike never affects another.
- Dedicated CPU, RAM, and I/O
- Traffic-based throttle system
- Full neighbor isolation
SELinux enforced
We run SELinux in enforcing mode. Every file access, network connection, and process is validated against mandatory access control policies.
- Privilege escalation prevention
- Zero-day exploit mitigation
- Enterprise-grade security
Real-time malware detection
A custom file monitoring daemon watches every change in real time. Threats are caught the moment they appear, not during a daily scan.
- Instant file scanning
- Auto-quarantine threats
- ModSecurity WAF included
noexec filesystems
Uploaded binaries cannot be executed on the server
no-new-privileges
Processes cannot gain additional privileges after startup
Kernel hardening
User namespace restrictions prevent container escape attacks
