Started Oct 21, 2026, 09:09 PM UTC· resolved Oct 23, 2026, 12:23 PM UTC

  1. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 09:09 PM UTC

    We're aware of several security vulnerabilities announced today by Node.js, affecting the 22.x, 24.x and 26.x release lines. We're reviewing the impact on our services and will apply the patched versions across our servers as soon as our vendors release them. We'll update this notice as more information becomes available.

  2. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 10:12 PM UTC

    Several mitigation options have been identified whilst we await patched versions from our upstream partners. These are presently being rolled out by our team. We do not detect any signs of exploitation at the time of writing. We will continue to monitor and ensure that your accounts remain secure. Your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

  3. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 11:24 PM UTC

    A mitigation is currently being implemented for the Brotli RCE (CVE-2026-111497). Other mitigation options are being investigated for the other CVEs, and we are awaiting publication of patched packages by upstream.

  4. investigating Oct 22, 2026, 02:21 AM UTC

    The Brotli RCE (CVE-2026-111497) has been mitigated fleet-wide, and on all customer servers that are managed by our team. We will continue to work on the remaining CVEs, applying mitigations where available and awaiting fixed versions from upstream. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

  5. investigating Oct 22, 2026, 03:02 PM UTC

    Our mitigation against the Brotli-related Node.js vulnerability remains deployed across our hosting fleet and all customer servers managed by our team. We are working closely with our upstream partners, who have confirmed that patched Node.js packages are now being made available through their release channels. Our team are now working diligently to roll these updates out across our fleet. We will keep you updated.

  6. identified Oct 22, 2026, 04:10 PM UTC

    We are continuing to install the available Node.js security updates on our hosting servers. Node.js will be restarted on all servers once this is complete to ensure that the new binaries are being used. Please note that patched versions of alt-nodejs v16, v18 and v20, and ea-nodejs22 are still pending from upstream. We shall continue to work with our partners to ensure that updates to these remaining versions are applied immediately once they become available. Our mitigation against Brotli-compressed requests remains in place across our hosting fleet and managed customer servers. Our upstream provider has confirmed that this reduces exposure. Our Software team are also working hard to ensure that internal applications are patched and hardened against these vulnerabilities - keeping your accounts and our systems secure is of utmost importance to us. We will continue to update you throughout the process.

  7. identified Oct 22, 2026, 04:50 PM UTC

    We have completed the rollout of the available Node.js 12, 14, 22, 24 and 26 security updates across our shared hosting fleet and restarted applications using the old versions where they can restart automatically. Our customer account gateway has also been patched in production. We are now focusing on completing updates and restarts on managed customer servers. Some vendor fixes remain outstanding, so this work is not yet complete. The mitigation against Brotli-compressed requests remains in place across our hosting fleet and managed servers.

  8. identified Oct 22, 2026, 06:19 PM UTC

    Security updates for the previously outstanding Node.js 16, 18 and 20 packages, and the cPanel-provided Node.js 22 package, are now available from our upstream providers. We have begun rolling these updates out across our shared hosting fleet. We are also continuing checks across managed customer servers to establish the updates and application restarts required on each server before applying the patches. This work is still in progress.

  9. identified Oct 22, 2026, 08:16 PM UTC

    We have completed the rollout of all currently available alt-nodejs security updates across our shared hosting fleet. All Node.js applications on the fleet, including customer-managed processes, have now been restarted to use the updated binaries. Our final checks found no processes still using the replaced versions. The additional protection against Brotli-compressed requests remains in place across our hosting fleet and managed customer servers. Work on managed customer servers is in progress, and we are continuing to track the remaining vendor fixes. This incident remains open while that work is completed.

  10. identified Oct 22, 2026, 09:07 PM UTC

    We have now applied the available Node.js security updates to managed customer servers and restarted applications using the replaced binaries. The latest audit found no outstanding package updates or processes using replaced binaries. This follows completion of the shared hosting rollout. This does not yet address every affected Node.js installation. Some older, end-of-life versions and other vendor-provided packages still have no fixes available, and customer-installed copies require separate review. Customers using their own Node.js installations should check for security updates and move unsupported versions to a patched, supported release. Our additional protection against Brotli-compressed requests remains in place, but is not a complete substitute for patched software. This incident remains open whilst we continue to monitor and await further releases from upstream.

  11. monitoring Oct 23, 2026, 11:13 AM UTC

    We have completed final checks and confirmed that the available security updates for Node.js 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24 and 26 have been applied across our shared hosting fleet and Managed VPS servers. We are now monitoring following the rollout. Our additional protection against Brotli-compressed requests remains in place to reduce exposure. Customers using their own Node.js installations should check for security updates and migrate unsupported versions to a patched, supported release.

  12. resolved Oct 23, 2026, 12:23 PM UTC

    We have completed the rollout and final checks of all available Node.js security updates across our shared hosting fleet and Managed VPS servers. Applications using replaced binaries have been restarted, and we are closing this incident. Thank you for your patience while we completed this work.

Minor October 21, 2026 Critical PHP Security Vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 / CVE-2026-109619) 2d 3h

Started Oct 21, 2026, 08:42 AM UTC· resolved Oct 23, 2026, 12:24 PM UTC

  1. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 08:42 AM UTC

    We're aware of two critical PHP security vulnerabilities announced by the PHP Security Team. Full technical details and the list of affected versions have not yet been published. Our PHP builds come from our vendors. We'll apply their patched versions across our shared hosting and Managed WordPress servers as soon as they're released. In the meantime, we're putting additional protections in place on our servers to reduce the risk until the updates are rolled out. Customers don't need to take any action. Sites will move to the patched PHP versions automatically once the updates are deployed. We'll update this notice as more information becomes available.

  2. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 10:03 AM UTC

    Mitigations have been deployed fleet-wide and to customer servers that are managed by our team. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely, and are working with our upstream partners to ensure that patches are implemented as soon as they become available. We shall keep you updated throughout the process.

  3. investigating Oct 21, 2026, 01:29 PM UTC

    We are continuing to monitor the situation, and are working diligently to ensure that all systems have mitigations in place in advance of applying patches released by upstream. We will share further updates in due course as and when more information is available. Thank you for your ongoing cooperation.

  4. identified Oct 21, 2026, 03:08 PM UTC

    Upstream has now started releasing new versions that patch these vulnerabilities, and our team are working to get them applied to all servers and systems as soon as possible. We appreciate your ongoing cooperation and understanding, and will keep you updated.

  5. identified Oct 21, 2026, 04:56 PM UTC

    Our team are continuing to roll out mitigations as quickly as possible, and we are deploying patched versions as and when they are released by upstream. Your ongoing patience and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

  6. identified Oct 21, 2026, 06:33 PM UTC

    We're currently performing emergency maintenance across our fleet to make sure your sites are protected against two critical PHP vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Keeping your account secure is of the utmost importance to us, so we're updating PHP on every server as fixes become available. As part of this work, we're retiring PHP 4.4, 5.1 and 5.2 with immediate effect. These versions stopped receiving security fixes many years ago and cannot be protected against these issues. If your site uses PHP 4.4, 5.1 or 5.2, it may display errors or stop working. We will do everything we can to prevent this, but ensuring the security of our customers' sites takes priority. We will contact you if you are using one of the versions of PHP that are being retired. Thanks for your patience while we keep things safe.

  7. identified Oct 21, 2026, 09:27 PM UTC

    Our upstream partners have now released patched PHP binaries for all supported PHP versions. Our team are working to apply this update across the fleet. We will provide an update once this is complete. Accounts utilising unsupported PHP versions are being moved on to the next possible supported version, to ensure that they also benefit from the mitigations. Once this is complete, unsupported versions will be disabled fleet-wide.

  8. identified Oct 21, 2026, 10:10 PM UTC

    Information regarding package availability for patched PHP versions was miscommunication to us by upstream, and we are still awaiting their release. In the meantime, we have applied all available mitigations across the fleet, and continue to monitor. We will keep you updated. Thank you for your patience.

  9. identified Oct 21, 2026, 11:08 PM UTC

    Our upstream partners have released patches for ea-php packages for supported PHP versions, and these are now applied across our shared server fleet. We are currently in the process of applying patches for alt-php packages and we are looking to roll these out as quickly as possible.

  10. identified Oct 22, 2026, 12:45 AM UTC

  1. investigating Aug 04, 2026, 01:05 PM UTC

    We're aware that some inbound email is being delivered later than expected. We're investigating the cause and will provide an update shortly.

  2. monitoring Aug 04, 2026, 08:11 PM UTC

    Again we would like to apologise for the issues experienced here. We have now completed our investigation and we believe the cause of this particular issue was the result of 3 unrelated problems: 1. We experienced a significant amount of inbound spam into the Spam Experts platform, this resulted in mail being delayed and queued for quite some time whilst it handled this. 2. One of the filtering nodes was out of action due to a software fault. 3. Another node was experiencing performance issues which has been identified as a hardware fault. This resulted in the cluster not only having a significant "spam attack" but it was also running 2 nodes down which also impacted performance slightly. We now have the node with the software fault back in action and for the hardware fault, this has been logged with our hardware vendor to have the required replacement part sent over as soon as possible. This unfortunately was a case of multiple events occurring at the same time which resulted in the slower filtering performance and delays in mail receipt. We can confirm that the inbound attack has stopped and the filtering cluster is now operating correctly minus the one node which we are waiting on replacement hardware for. We have also provided feedback to SpamExperts on a way to improve the software performance under such heavy load, this should improve performance significantly if such a situation ever reoccurs. For now, we are going to leave this in a monitoring status until the hardware fault has been resolved. As before, we do apologise for any disruption this has caused.

  3. resolved Aug 05, 2026, 11:11 AM UTC

    The affected node is back in the filtering cluster. All nodes are online and inbound mail is being filtered and delivered at normal speed, with no backlog in the queues. We've been monitoring since the fix went in and everything has stayed stable, so we're marking this as resolved. Thanks for bearing with us, and apologies again for the delays to inbound email while this was ongoing.

Minor July 28, 2026 High load across shared servers 55m Shared Hosting, Business Hosting, Reseller Hosting

Started Jul 28, 2026, 12:24 PM UTC· resolved Jul 28, 2026, 01:20 PM UTC

  1. investigating Jul 28, 2026, 12:24 PM UTC

    We are aware of a higher than normal load across our shared servers at the moment which may be leading to slower connectivity times when accessing websites. Our team is currently investigating.

  2. resolved Jul 28, 2026, 12:42 PM UTC

    This has now been resolved. A firewall change rollout triggered a mass reload which inadvertently caused high load across multiple servers. We've updated our processes to avoid the issue reoccurring. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  3. monitoring Jul 28, 2026, 01:09 PM UTC

    This issue has since been resolved, but there is a delay due to some servers having been rebooted and the applied fix to load levels on all servers returning to normal. We are working on this, and everything should be fully working as expected shortly.

  4. resolved Jul 28, 2026, 01:20 PM UTC

    All services are fully restored and operating normally
