Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s definitely concerning that Imunify360 failed to stop such obvious malware in the first place. The fact that cPGuard can detect and block these threats right at the upload stage is impressive and shows its proactive approach to security.
It’d be great to hear from others in this thread...
@Webrob can you share hosting providers with cpguard besides asura and racknerd?
also, in your experience managing hundreds of blogs, does directadmin vs cpanel differs a lot in security?
i'm managing several sites in directadmin. but every other week we got attacked and i'm fed up cleaning sites.
thinking moving to cpanel or host providers that has cpguard
From all my hosting providers, only Asura and RackNerd offer cPGuard, while the rest use Imunify360.
I’ve been using blogs on both DirectAdmin and cPanel, but I haven’t noticed any significant differences in terms of security—they both seem equally reliable to me.
Feel free to DM me the blogs that are experiencing downtime. I’d be happy to take a look and see if there’s anything I can do to help.
i hope @Francisco moves to cpguard
I hope they will consider this.
I've replaced Imunify360 with CPGuard on one server so far, this is my very initial impressions after being used for less than 2 hours.
Easy installation, slick control panel, seems like good features. Load on server dropped significantly after the replacement. Seems to block many bad network connections. I'll test it out for some days but I am very impressed with the load reduction on the server initially. I'll change to CPGuard soon if this stays as good as it is initially.
Cpmalscan is better than Imunify360 and CPGuard.
What about ConfigServer Exploit Scanner (CXS) ?
I am not such a big fan personally of either of them.
I have developed an internal wrapper for directadmin that is scanning user files and uploaded files (via FTP or webserver).
It's more lightweight like this and it uses the exact same free open-source virus databases that commercial solutions use.
That’s great to hear, and I appreciate you sharing your initial impressions! I noticed you’ve installed cPGuard on dade1.hostypanel.com & dasg1.hostypanel.com—this is a significant step for a hosting provider like yours, and I sincerely congratulate you on the move.
On another note, I noticed that dany1.hostbrr.com doesn’t seem to have either Imunify360 or cPGuard installed. Could you please check if that’s intentional or if it needs security coverage?
I look forward to hearing more about your experience as you continue testing cPGuard!
How about using both cpguard+imunity360?
would it affect on server performance?
Maybe, maybe not. You'd have two applications scanning for virus instead of one. What happens when they both detect the same and try make modifications? Same with their WAF, two different applications trying to action one same incident. It might work, might be chaos.
In the end both CPGuard and Imunify360 are quite costly. Doubt there is any real benefit to it.
According to HostMedia’s announcement, they plan to roll out CPGuard across all their cPanel and DirectAdmin servers. In my opinion, it’s a great move.
@labze using it on DADE1 and is perfect!
Yeah, they are using cPGuard in thier all 3 DirectAdmin nodes but not in cPanel for now.
We have used cPGuard and Imunify360
We have better experience with cPGuard so far.
That's nice to hear, cPGuard indeed better than Imunify360.
I’ve been using Imunify360 too and now I’m seriously thinking about testing cPGuard after reading this.
We’d appreciate it if you could share your experience using cPGuard, along with any comparisons to similar solutions.
We've been using Imunify360 on all servers for several years, but after having to enable Cloudflare at some sites to prevent abusive bots (or having to manually block them), and noticing more hacks at outdated WordPress sites, I've decided to give cPGuard a chance at at one server, and it removed 2.4k malware files not detected by IM360.
Load appears to be 2 / 3% lower on average, but it's still only a few days. Will test more for sure before considering it replacing more servers, but looks good.
Their dashboard is great to have a birds eye on the status of WAF's actions and filtered traffic.
@Juanzo Great to hear your experience so far! Really curious to see how cPGuard performs over time. Do share an update after a month or two — would be helpful for all of us to understand how it stacks up in the long run.
