For us, the value starts with the people. A conversation over coffee can uncover a…
JetBackup September 2026 Security Roundup
Security and recovery updates through September 23, 2026 There’s something reassuring about seeing a backup job finish successfully. The dashboard looks good, the customer’s website is online, and everything seems to be doing what it should. But when a server is compromised, we need to answer a bigger question: can we actually bring that customer back? September gave hosting providers plenty of reasons to take a closer look. We saw a compromised update channel, control…
Partner Spotlight: cloudabove
A Conversation with Ashley Cawley, Director of cloudabove For many businesses, hosting is not just about server space. It is about knowing there is someone on the other end who understands the problem, responds quickly, and takes ownership when something needs to be fixed. That idea has shaped cloudabove from the beginning. Based in Cornwall and serving businesses across the UK, cloudabove has grown from its telecoms roots into a hosting company focused on reliability,…
August Security Roundup: Three Ways “We Have Backups” Failed
Hosting providers did not spend August learning that they need backups. They spent it learning that a completed backup job and a recoverable system are not the same thing. A copy can exist and still fail you when the systems required to reach it are unavailable, when the same credentials protect production and recovery, or when the environment around the backup has already been compromised. That was the pattern across several incidents this month. The…
Partner Spotlight: IpHost
A Conversation with the IpHost Team Every long-standing hosting company has a story behind it. For IpHost, that story began more than 20 years ago in a small office with two servers, three people, and a clear commitment to customers. Since then, IpHost has grown into one of the leading hosting providers in Greece, while keeping the same mindset that shaped the company from the beginning: reliable hosting, personal support, and genuine care for the…
WordCamp US 2026: AI, Security, and Why Backup Matters More Than Ever
WordCamp US 2026 in Phoenix brought the heat, literally. With temperatures reaching around 114°F, the desert made sure everyone knew exactly where they were. But the real heat at WordCamp US was around AI. AI was front and center across the event, shaping conversations about development, content creation, automation, support, security, infrastructure, and the future of WordPress itself. For JetBackup, one thing became increasingly clear, as AI becomes more powerful and more deeply connected to…

AI Is Taking Control of Web Hosting Infrastructure. Where Are the Guardrails?
The web hosting industry is entering a major shift in how servers and infrastructure are managed. Hosting companies are beginning to experiment with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, AI agents, and automated infrastructure management, while control panel companies such as WebPros are moving toward integrating artificial intelligence deeper into the hosting management experience. The direction is becoming clear. We are moving from control panels that help humans manage servers to AI-powered platforms that can increasingly…
Lock Down Your Backups: Object Lock Is Coming to JetBackup 5
The threat level facing the hosting industry has changed. AI is helping cybercriminals improve phishing, automate social engineering, research vulnerabilities, and launch attacks faster and at a much greater scale. For hosting providers, one successful attack can compromise far more than a single website. If an attacker gains root access, they may have the keys to the entire castle, including customer data, production systems, administrator accounts, and the backups needed for recovery. JetBackup is actively…
