We’re excited to announce that HostArmada has integrated Patchstack into their platform – bringing proactive WordPress vulnerability protection to their customers through a new security add-on called Armada V-Shield.
HostArmada is a fast-growing cloud hosting provider built around performance, enterprise-grade security, and 24/7/365 support. They serve websites of all sizes – from personal blogs to WooCommerce stores – across 11 global data centers.
Now, with Patchstack, they’re closing the one gap that traditional hosting security has never quite solved.
We’ve always invested heavily in security, but most solutions focus on reacting after a threat appears. What we were missing was a way to proactively protect our customers from WordPress vulnerabilities before they get exploited. Patchstack gives us exactly that. With their vulnerability intelligence and virtual patching, we can now block threats earlier and deliver a stronger, more complete security experience to our customers.

Preventing – not just reacting
Traditional hosting security does a lot of things well. Firewalls, malware scanning, cleanup – HostArmada has always gone further than most on all of these. But their team kept running into the same problem: the most critical risks for their customers weren’t happening at the infrastructure level.
They were happening inside WordPress plugins.
And most security tools only kick in after a threat is already known, or after damage is already done.
HostArmada wanted something different – protection that works before vulnerabilities get exploited, and even before developers release a patch.
Patchstack fills that gap perfectly. Their vulnerability intelligence and virtual patching capabilities let us protect customers against threats that are often undisclosed or not yet patched by developers. And the best thing – that happens without clients updating their plugins, so the risk of broken websites drops to, well, 0.

Meet Armada V-Shield
HostArmada customers can now activate Armada V-Shield directly from their client area. Once active, it installs a lightweight plugin, starts scanning immediately, and surfaces everything in a clean dashboard – no technical setup needed.
Here’s what it does:
- Continuous vulnerability monitoring across plugins, themes, and WordPress core
- Vulnerability mitigation via RapidMitigate – blocks known exploits automatically
- Advanced Hardening to stop common malicious requests
- Community IP Blocklist to block known bad actors before they reach the site
- Full software inventory with version and security status for every component
- Blocked threat logs with rule, module, origin, and timestamp
The key thing: customers get protection from unpatched and even undisclosed vulnerabilities – without touching a single plugin. No update anxiety. No site breakage.
