Protect Your Website in Minutes

No software to install. No code to change. Just update one DNS record and ScaleShield handles the rest — bot protection, WAF, caching, and more.

Setup steps

STEP 01

Add Your Domain

Sign up for a free account, enter your domain name and your origin server URL. ScaleShield automatically creates your protection profile and configures optimal security settings for your site.

~2 minutes
  • Enter your domain name and origin IP or hostname
  • ScaleShield auto-detects your stack (WordPress, React, etc.)
  • Default protection rules are applied immediately
  • No code changes or plugins required
STEP 02

Update Your DNS

Point your domain to ScaleShield by updating a single DNS record. We provide the exact CNAME or A record to add. Simply copy and paste it into your DNS provider — no technical expertise needed.

~2 minutes
  • We provide the exact DNS record to add
  • Works with any DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
  • CNAME or A record — your choice
  • Step-by-step guides for every major provider
STEP 03

Protection is Active

Once DNS propagates, all traffic to your website flows through ScaleShield. Bots are blocked, threats are filtered, and caching accelerates your site. Monitor everything in real-time from your dashboard.

Automatic
  • Traffic is filtered and optimized automatically
  • Real-time analytics and threat monitoring
  • Fine-tune rules from your dashboard anytime
  • Zero downtime — your site stays live throughout

How the Protection Works

Every request to your website passes through ScaleShield's global network. Legitimate users experience zero noticeable latency. Bots and threats are stopped before they reach your server.

Your Origin

ScaleShield Edge

Your request hits our globally distributed edge network closest to the user.

Bot Detection

AI-powered fingerprinting identifies automated traffic, scrapers, and credential stuffers in milliseconds.

WAF

Our Web Application Firewall inspects every request for SQL injection, XSS, and other OWASP Top 10 threats.

Rate Limiter

Intelligent rate limiting prevents brute-force attacks and API abuse without affecting legitimate users.

Smart Cache

Static assets and pages are served from the edge, reducing origin load and improving page speed globally.

Works With Everything You Use

ScaleShield operates at the DNS layer, so it integrates with any website, any framework, and any hosting provider without changes to your code or infrastructure.

Any Website

ScaleShield works with any website regardless of the technology behind it. Static HTML, React, Vue, Next.js, Laravel, Django — if it serves HTTP, we protect it.

  • HTML / CSS
  • React / Next.js
  • Vue / Nuxt
  • Laravel / Django
  • Any framework

Any Hosting Provider

Since ScaleShield operates at the DNS layer, it works with every hosting provider. No special integrations or plugins required.

  • AWS / GCP / Azure
  • DigitalOcean / Linode
  • cPanel / WHM
  • Vercel / Netlify
  • Dedicated servers

WordPress

WordPress sites get extra hardening out of the box. ScaleShield protects wp-login, blocks XML-RPC abuse, prevents wp-admin brute force attacks, and secures your REST API.

  • Login page protection
  • XML-RPC blocking
  • wp-admin hardening
  • REST API security
  • Plugin vulnerability shielding

APIs

Protect your API endpoints with intelligent rate limiting, bot detection, and request validation. Keep your API available for real users while blocking abuse.

  • Rate limiting per endpoint
  • Bot detection on API routes
  • Request size limits
  • Header validation
  • Geographic restrictions

Common Questions

Quick answers about setting up and using ScaleShield.

Will this slow down my website?
No. In most cases ScaleShield makes your website faster. Our edge cache serves static assets from servers closest to your visitors, reducing latency. The security inspection adds less than 1ms to each request.
Do I need to change my hosting?
No. ScaleShield sits in front of your existing hosting. You keep your current server, CMS, and setup. The only change is a DNS record update that routes traffic through our network first.
Does it work with Cloudflare?
Yes, though we recommend using ScaleShield as your primary DNS proxy instead of stacking proxies. If you need to keep Cloudflare for DNS management, you can set it to DNS-only mode (grey cloud) and let ScaleShield handle the security and caching layer.
What if I need help setting up?
Our setup wizard guides you through every step. If you get stuck, our support team is ready to help. Paid plans include priority email and live chat support. We can even handle the DNS change for you if needed.
