Automattic Is Not an Owner of the WordPress Marks It Asserted in Court, a Judge Rules

An Attacker Hijacked Hetzner IP Space and Poisoned a Virtualizor Update
A BGP hijack of Hetzner address space sent Softaculous traffic to an attacker for two nights. A valid Let's Encrypt certificate hid the diversion, update packages were not cryptographically verified, one malicious Virtualizor update got through, and the countermeasure took about 12 hours to arrive.

We Asked Six Hosting AI Assistants to Name a Better Rival. Not One Would.
We tested the public AI assistants of six hosting companies against a demanding WooCommerce buyer. Asked which rival would fit better, with no list to choose from, not one named a competitor, so the real test became how well they deflected. Bluehost's assistant broke, and the most useful answers did not come from the priciest names.

European Hosting Is Still Cheap. But Only If You Buy the Right Tier.
After three Hetzner price increases and OVHcloud raising VPS prices up to 67%, European shared vCPU hosting remains 60-75% cheaper than US providers. But dedicated vCPU instances have reached price parity with DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode. The choice is no longer about cost alone.

RAM Prices Have Doubled and Still Climbing. And the Helium That Makes Memory Chips Possible Just Got Cut Off by a War.
Server DRAM prices surged over 100% in Q1 2026 as AI demand consumed fabrication capacity. Then Iranian drones hit Qatar's Ras Laffan facility on March 2, taking 33% of global helium supply offline - and helium is irreplaceable in chip manufacturing. Hetzner is raising prices 30-50%. OVHcloud warns of 15-300% component cost increases. SK Group's chairman says the shortage could last until 2030. For hosting providers, this is not a temporary spike. It is a structural shift in what it costs to run servers, and the next round of price increases has not even arrived yet.
