Yes. ASPS Protected Hosting can be used on any web site. In fact it could be used on Facebook if that would be practical, which it is not because while it would be protected, unless you can restrict access to your Facebook page by IP address, visitors could still see the unprotected version by a direct link.

With WordPress you can install our Check-Referrer plugin (also available for other CMS). So to rephrase this answer, ASPS Protected Hosting can be effective on any web site where you can restrict access. Why that is needed is because ASPS provides a protected mirror of the pages that you want to protect, but they will only be secure if the only access to them is via ASPS.

The Check-Referrer plugin ensures that only the ASPS server can access those pages.
