FAQ:
Shield Hosting is a security proxy layer by HostDel that sits in front of your website and blocks bots, DDoS attacks, scrapers, spam, and unauthorized access — while passing only real, legitimate visitors through to your origin server.
Service is delivered within 1–24 hours of payment confirmation. Once your nameservers propagate, simply activate Shield Services from your client area and full protection goes live immediately.
We accept cryptocurrency only — Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT/USDC, Litecoin (LTC), and other major cryptocurrencies. All payments are final upon confirmation.
A full refund is issued if the service is not activated within 24 hours of payment confirmation. No refunds are provided once the service is live and active.
No. Shield Hosting routes all traffic through a dedicated proxy node that completely masks your origin server IP address. There is zero IP leak at any point.
Yes. SQL and phpMyAdmin are fully supported. You can host database-driven websites and dynamic applications without any issues.
You can host any website or application that runs on PHP 8.2 and MariaDB 10.x — including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, and any other PHP-compatible CMS or custom application.
SSH terminal and FTP access are disabled for security reasons — this is intentional to maintain the integrity of the Shield layer. Email hosting is not provided; you can add your own MX and TXT records via the client area to connect to any external business email provider, such as Google Workspace or Zoho Mail.
Each package includes 1 primary domain, 3 subdomains, and up to 5 database connections.
Yes, in cases where there is a valid reason, we can assist with a one-time domain replacement at no additional cost. This is only possible once; multiple replacements are not permitted.
We recommend completing your SEO setup and ensuring your site is fully indexed on search engines before activating Shield Services. Activating Shield on an already-indexed site works best and avoids potential re-crawling delays.
Shield Hosting is not regular hosting — it is a premium security layer built to keep your domain clean, protected, and online in the long term. Rather than constantly purchasing new domains and hosting after being blocked, Shield Hosting is designed to reliably protect your assets. Your domain stays clean unless a formal official complaint is filed against it.
Visit hostdel.com, place your order, complete payment in cryptocurrency, log in to your client area, update your nameservers, wait for DNS propagation, then activate Shield Services on your domain. That is all — your site is fully protected.
You can reach us via Live Chat on hostdel.com or by submitting a Support Ticket through your client area. We monitor both channels regularly and will respond as early as possible.
