We’re thrilled to announce that BigWetFish Hosting, a trusted UK & Ireland-based web hosting provider known for fast performance, dependable support, and WordPress-optimized hosting, has integrated Patchstack for proactive WordPress vulnerability protection.
As part of this integration, BigWetFish customers will now get Patchstack’s automated vulnerability detection and mitigation, allowing them to protect their WordPress sites from emerging threats - especially during the window between vulnerability disclosure and updates.
Security is not just a feature at Big Wet Fish Hosting; it is part of our responsibility as a hosting provider. We understand that many WordPress site owners are busy running their businesses, and updates do not always happen immediately. By partnering with Patchstack, we are adding an extra layer of proactive protection against newly discovered vulnerabilities, helping safeguard our customers’ websites even when they fall behind on updates. This integration is another step in raising the standard of managed WordPress hosting.
— Stephen Kinkaid, BigWetFish Hosting
Preventing - not only reacting
Security threats in the WordPress ecosystem continue to grow. Heavily exploited vulnerabilities also see a median time to exploit of 5 hours.
And while updates remain critical, site owners don’t always apply them immediately, leaving websites exposed during the gap between vulnerability disclosure and patching.
Through this integration, Big Wet Fish Hosting customers now benefit from:
- Real-time vulnerability monitoring
- Protection against exploitation attempts through RapidMitigate rules
- Reduced risk during delayed updates
Patchstack works at the application layer to block malicious requests targeting known vulnerabilities, providing an additional layer of defense beyond traditional hosting security controls.
Protecting WordPress - together
Patchstack protects millions of WordPress websites by providing the largest vulnerability database in the WordPress ecosystem and delivering real-time mitigation rules against exploitable threats.
And by partnering with Patchstack, Big Wet Fish Hosting joins a growing network of hosting providers committed to improving security standards across WordPress hosting, so customers don't have to choose between performance, reliability, and protection.
We’re proud to work with Big Wet Fish Hosting to make sure users can focus on growth while we handle the security.
