At Hosts Del Mar, Berend, CEO of Realtime Register, explains why the traditional hosting model is being reversed by AI-first website builders, how Realtime Register is expanding from a domains-only wholesale registrar to a broader vendor stack for HSPs and MSPs, and why commercial and business skills will matter more than the build in the next wave of hosting.
WordCamp Europe 2026 opens June 4 in Kraków with Contributor Day plus two conference days. The Inside WordPress 7.0 panel anchors Friday. Hosting-specific sessions cover stress testing, secure hosting, DDoS, and CERN's 800-site migration. Over a dozen hosting companies sponsor.
WordPress 7.0 ships May 20, 2026 with a built-in AI Client supporting Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, a raised PHP minimum of 7.4, and DataViews replacing the admin screens. Real-time collaboration was cut on May 8 due to race conditions, server load, and fuzz testing failures.
AdminBolt is currently the only self-hosted control panel to ship a working in-panel AI assistant, with WhatsApp as a mobile extension.
