MariaDB Community Server 10.6 reaches end of life on July 6, 2026. After that date, no more security patches for 10.6. On a shared hosting server, that's not one site exposed. It's every customer site that touches the database. Upgrading to a newer release is the right long-term move, but a major database upgrade across a fleet is a real project: schema review, replication validation, application testing, downtime windows. Rushed migrations break customer sites and drive churn. So we built another option. ELS for MariaDB keeps MariaDB 10.6 patched past end of life, delivered as drop-in updates through your package manager. No data migration, no schema changes, no forced upgrade. You stay secure now and upgrade on your own timeline. In partnership with TuxCare. Covered for CloudLinux 7/8/9 and other EL 7/8/9 systems today.

One VPS hosting provider recently deployed the CloudLinux OS + Imunify360 bundle and saw an immediate impact on their support operations. They recovered around an hour of productivity every day. Tasks that previously required manual intervention were handled automatically before tickets even reached the queue. As a result, the team spent far less time firefighting and far more time focusing on work that actually drives the business forward. That's what stacking the summer looks like in numbers. CloudLinux OS + Imunify360, bundled at up to 55% off standard licensing. Join our VPS Program: https://hubs.ly/Q04lRsJg0

Nowadays, vendors are deliberately not labeling security fixes as security fixes. Why? Because threat actors watch change logs. The moment a "security update" goes live, they start reverse-engineering the patch to build exploits. So vendors are shipping critical security patches inside generic software releases. No CVE number. No security label. Nothing in the change log to tell you it matters. Igor Seletskiy, CloudLinux founder, has a simple rule for 2026: treat every software update as a potential security update, and apply it. Full article: https://hubs.ly/Q04k4S9s0

We're glad to see HostingAdvice.com feature our perspective on the security challenges of agentic AI. As organizations give AI agents more responsibility across email, cloud environments, and customer data, the nature of risk is shifting. The threat isn't always a malicious actor. Increasingly, it's a capable agent making decisions on its own, and traditional defenses weren't designed for that. If your infrastructure is starting to rely on autonomous systems, it's worth a read. #CloudLinux #AISecurity #AgenticAI #WebHosting #Cybersecurity

AI agents like OpenClaw are landing on customer VPSes. A new hosting category is emerging. They’ve moved beyond demos into daily work: writing code, managing files, calling APIs, automating operations. And all of that work needs a place to run, increasingly, that place is a VPS. In the CloudLinux 2026 Web Hosting Trends Report, providers named VPS and dedicated hosting as their biggest growth opportunity over the next two to three years (26%). The same providers identified AI as the trend most likely to shape 2026. The AI-agent VPS sits at the intersection of both. Imunify for AI Agents enables hosting providers to offer a protected AI-agent VPS, without building security in-house. Priority Access is now open. Request Priority Access: https://hubs.ly/Q04m77Bd0

Thanks to HostingAdvice.comHostingAdvice.com for unpacking what our latest research with WebProsWebPros makes clear: WordPress agencies want the fundamentals done well. Strong performance, reliable support, and solid security carry more weight than the lowest price. For hosting providers, that is the real signal. Agencies are choosing long-term partners that help them deliver better client outcomes, not just cheaper infrastructure. Read their full write-up of the benchmark report below.👇

The old cadence of one critical Linux kernel CVE per year or two is gone. For actively exploited vulnerabilities, the median time from disclosure to mass exploitation is now zero days. The defender's median time to patch is 32 days. Exploitation of edge-device CVEs increased roughly eightfold in a single year according to Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report. A key factor driving the vulnerability discovery side is AI. Large language models can now do work that until recently belonged to a small group of security specialists: reading large code bases for patterns, reconstructing stripped binaries, identifying candidate vulnerabilities. The pool of researchers capable of producing a Copy Fail-class flaw is widening, and the time each of them needs is shrinking. Copy Fail, Dirty Frag, and Fragnesia in two weeks is the new baseline, not an outlier. Patching strategies have to adapt: https://hubs.ly/Q04k0BwW0

45% of WordPress agencies managing 100+ client sites still update WordPress manually, one site at a time. That single number captures a lot of what the State of WordPress Agencies in 2026 found: a segment carrying portfolio-scale operational responsibility — hosting decisions, security, performance, maintenance — on small-team resources, with automation that has not kept pace. We surveyed 210 agencies and freelancers globally with WebPros. Here is what the data shows: 🔎 78% are solo operators or small teams of up to 10 people 🔎 83% own the hosting decision for their clients 🔎 65% name plugin and theme updates as their top security challenge 🔎 92% use AI tools, but only 16% apply them to maintenance or monitoring 🔎 63% say AI and automation will be the biggest force reshaping the segment ahead The full report is free to download. https://hubs.ly/Q04lGSXG0 WebPros  #CloudLinux #WebPros #WordPressAgencies #WebHosting #AI2026
