As you will have seen in the main press today a very significant security issue was identified in PHP, which is the program that is used to run most of the internet.
As we use a commercially supported operating system across our estate of servers, these patches and security checks have already been applied meaning that our services are not affected by this newly discovered exploitation route.
There are no actions required by customers, but it is a reminder to all customers to ensure they are updating their websites regularly (monthly recommended) to the latest version of what ever CMS they are using (wordpress, etc) This will ensure your software and website are patched with all the latest security fixes as they are released.

Server Patching and Reboot
2026-08-07 19:12
We've been made aware by Cloud Linux of a high-risk patch that has to be applied to all servers. This has already been applied to our servers and all servers will shortly be rebooted to ensure that the new patch is running. As per our policy, we do not provide notification ahead of any high-risk patch to avoid the situation where somebody knows that our service has not been patched.
We have not been compromised in any way, and the patch has been applied in a timely manner.
As part of this, each server will be rebooted in turn with a 10 to 15 minute outage expected for customers website hosting. This has been completed outside of core business hours as per our policies. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, but we make security our number one priority.
Updates:

A US based DDOS attack has been thwarted by our security layer. No access was gained and the offending machine has been blocked and reported to Amazon AWS. Some customers websites may have been loading slower whilst this attack was underway. But again other than placing a larger than normal load on the server cluster, no access was gained.

VPS26 Migration
2025-12-30 12:26
We are continuing our planned migration of our current server cluster to new CloudLinux 9 platform.
Over the coming weeks, the remaining clients on older servers (VPS22, 23 & 24) will be migrated to the new servers.
We would advise all customers who have wordpress sites to upgrade to version 6.8.2 as a minimum to ensure you can continue to access the website once switched and PHP 8.3 is the new default version.
We are aware that a number of plugins and themes which are not actively maintained do not support this latest version, which may result in some Wordpress sites being unable to render correctly. Unfortunately, due to the millions of 3rd party plugins available we are not able to offer any support to themes/plugins which do not work on PHP8.x
You can either disable the plug in, either using Wordpress Admin portal, or by renaming the folder in the includes/plugin folder to <pluginname>.off (Add .off) This will disable the plug in allowing you to access the admin portal to resolve the issue.
Alternatively we are please to introduce SiteJet and SiteJet AI website builder tool on the new servers. This tool allows you to build websites without needing any technical knowledge, simply drag and drop items onto the screen to quickly build new modern looking website. Full details are available on CPanel and google.
