0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

hoster.by is a Belarus-based web hosting and domain registration provider targeting Russian-speaking customers. The company offers domain registration, free site-vizitka creation, and hosting services with promotional discounts to attract new customers and domain transfers. The website currently displays a placeholder message indicating the site is temporarily unavailable, suggesting possible service interruptions or maintenance. The domain is registered with Open Contact, Ltd since 2021, indicating a relatively new but legitimate business presence. Technically, the website uses an outdated jQuery 1.8.3 library and lacks modern security headers, which may expose it to security risks. The site is basic in design and functionality, with minimal SEO and accessibility features. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact information or social media links are provided, limiting transparency and user trust. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS enforcement details and security headers, combined with outdated libraries, suggests a moderate security posture with room for improvement. The WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, the website scores average in content quality and security, with significant gaps in privacy compliance and user engagement features. Strategic recommendations include updating the technology stack, implementing comprehensive security headers and HTTPS enforcement, publishing privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR, and providing clear contact information to enhance trust and user confidence.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

hoster.by operates in the competitive Belarusian web hosting and domain registration market, serving a medium-sized customer base of approximately 120,000 websites. Its business model focuses on domain registration and hosting services, supplemented by promotional offers such as free site-vizitka and hosting discounts for domain transfers. The company leverages its local market knowledge and Russian language support to target individuals and businesses in Belarus and neighboring regions. The lack of visible contact information and policies on the website may hinder customer acquisition and retention. The company appears to be independent without publicly known parent or subsidiary companies. Growth opportunities exist in enhancing digital presence, improving security and compliance, and expanding service offerings.

Security posture

The current security posture of hoster.by is moderate but with notable weaknesses. The website lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version 1.8.3 introduces potential vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL configuration details in the provided data, which is critical for secure communications. No privacy or security policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible. These gaps indicate limited compliance with GDPR and other security frameworks. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent, supporting domain legitimacy. Overall, the site requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update the jQuery library and all other third-party scripts to the latest secure versions.
  2. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration across the entire site.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  5. Provide visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and incident response.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Improve website design and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and accessibility.
  8. Integrate analytics and marketing tools with privacy compliance to better understand and serve customers.
  9. Regularly audit and monitor website security posture and update technical infrastructure accordingly.
  10. Develop a long-term security strategy including staff training and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, using jQuery version 1.8.3, which is outdated and may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. The site appears to be self-hosted or hosted by hoster.by itself, with no external hosting provider explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal with no Open Graph or structured data present. The site lacks security headers and HTTPS enforcement details, which are critical technical risks. The domain registration is recent but consistent with the business age. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and requires modernization to meet current web standards and security best practices.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
