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…
Partner Spotlight: HOSTAFRICA
Africa’s digital economy is growing quickly, but the path to getting online does not always look the same as it does in Europe or North America.

HOSTAFRICA was built around that reality. Founded in 2016, the…

But as the release evolved, the story shifted. Collaboration remains an important part of the broader WordPress roadmap, but WordPress 7.0 arrives with AI integration, a refreshed…
Web Hosts Are Leaving Money on the Table
Why VPS and Dedicated Server Backup Services Are a Revenue Opportunity for Hosting Providers Many web hosting companies already include backups with their shared, reseller, and managed hosting plans. For those environments, that approach makes sense. Shared hosting customers usually expect the provider to manage the operational side of the account, including backups, restores, updates, and support. Managed hosting customers are often paying for convenience, and backup management is naturally part of that service expectation….
