How to work with the ModSecurity plugin

ModSecurity is a web application firewall (WAF) that protects your site from attacks .

  • How to manage: In your Hostaday cPanel, look for the ModSecurity icon under the Security section.
  • Settings: You can toggle ModSecurity On or Off for specific domains.
  • Note: If you experience "403 Forbidden" errors on legitimate actions, a ModSecurity rule might be blocking them. You can check the logs or temporarily disable it to troubleshoot, though we recommend keeping it active for security .
