Imunify360 is the broader platform, with proactive PHP protection, patch management and deep CloudLinux integration. cPGuard is lighter and often cheaper on small servers. Compare them on your own server with trial licences, because results depend on your sites and traffic.<\/div>\n<nav aria-label=\"Table of contents\" class=\"uh-toc\" style=\"background:#ffffff;border:1px solid #E5E7EB;border-radius:16px;padding:20px 22px;margin:0 0 34px;box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(13,31,60,0.08);\">\n<div style=\"font-size:12px;font-weight:800;letter-spacing:.06em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#176EA5;margin-bottom:10px;\"><i class=\"fas fa-list\" style=\"color:#00D4FF;\"><\/i> In this guide<\/div>\n<ol style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;columns:2 260px;column-gap:28px;line-height:1.9;\">\n<li><a href=\"#why-a-security-suite\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">Why a security suite<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#feature-overview\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">Feature overview<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#when-imunify360-fits-better\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">When Imunify360 fits better<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#when-cpguard-fits-better\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">When cPGuard fits better<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-compare-them-on-your-own-server\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">How to compare them on your own server<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-to-check-before-you-buy\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">What to check before you buy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-happens-when-a-site-is-infected\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">What happens when a site is infected<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#security-basics-that-matter-whichever-you-choose\" style=\"color:#176EA5;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;\">Security basics that matter whichever you choose<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"uh-post-content\" style=\"color:#1F2937;font-size:16px;line-height:1.75;\">\n<h2 id=\"why-a-security-suite\" style=\"color:#0D1F3C;font-size:28px;line-height:1.25;margin:34px 0 14px;scroll-margin-top:90px;\"><i class=\"fas fa-shield-alt\" style=\"color:#00D4FF;\"><\/i> Why a security suite<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;\">A hosting server faces the same attacks every day: password guessing on logins, exploit attempts against old plugins, uploaded web shells, and malware injected into PHP files.
