Hosting Infrastructure Audit

Technical audit for hosting platforms, server configuration, customer isolation, resource allocation and hosting stack security.

A hosting infrastructure audit reviews the technical foundation of your hosting platform — server configuration, customer isolation, resource allocation and the full hosting stack. Whether you run shared hosting, reseller accounts or managed VPS services, this audit identifies the gaps that put your platform and your customers at risk.

What We Audit

Our review covers the hosting stack end to end:

  • Platform architecture — server roles, network segmentation, load distribution, single points of failure
  • Server configuration — OS hardening, kernel parameters, filesystem permissions, running services, open ports
  • Customer isolation — account separation, filesystem boundaries, process isolation, resource limits (CloudLinux, CageFS or equivalent)
  • Web server configuration — Apache/Nginx tuning, virtual host isolation, TLS configuration, HTTP security headers
  • PHP environment — handler type (php-fpm, lsphp, suphp), version management, per-account configuration, disabled functions
  • Email services — mail server configuration, relay restrictions, queue management, per-account limits
  • DNS infrastructure — nameserver configuration, zone management, DNSSEC, propagation hygiene
  • Backup at hosting level — per-account backup schedule, storage location, retention, isolation from production
  • Resource allocation — CPU, memory and I/O limits per account, abuse prevention, noisy-neighbour controls
  • Access controls — root and admin access patterns, SSH key management, two-factor enforcement

Who Needs This

This audit is designed for:

  • Hosting providers who need to verify their platform meets security and operational standards
  • Web agencies managing client hosting and responsible for uptime and security
  • IT teams running internal hosting infrastructure for business applications
  • Resellers who need confidence in the security of the accounts they provision

Why It Matters

A misconfigured hosting platform can expose every customer on it. One weak isolation boundary, one overly permissive PHP handler, one backup system storing data on the same disk — and a single compromised account can escalate into a platform-wide incident.

Regular hosting audits help you:

  • Catch configuration drift before it becomes a vulnerability
  • Verify that customer isolation is actually working
  • Confirm backups are usable and stored safely
  • Meet compliance requirements from enterprise clients
  • Reduce support load caused by security incidents

What We Deliver

  • Comprehensive audit report with findings, evidence and severity ratings
  • Remediation guidance — specific steps to resolve each issue, tailored to your hosting stack
  • Architecture recommendations — structural improvements for long-term security and reliability
  • Priority matrix — issues ranked by risk and remediation effort
