Every year, like clockwork, Black Friday turns the hosting world into a price war.

Inboxes fill up with banners saying “60% off VPS plans!” and “Biggest Deal of the Year!” The industry goes for it, cutting deeper and deeper into their margins. And for a few days, it works: websites light up, conversions spike, and sales dashboards tell a happy story.

The hosting industry never stands still. Every year, new technologies, fresh challenges, and unexpected opportunities change the way providers serve their customers. That’s exactly why we publish the Industry Year in Review report. It captures where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what it all means for the future of hosting.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the CloudLinux Network (CLN) API v2. This is a significant step forward in our mission to provide powerful, modern tools that help you automate license and server management, streamline your workflows, and integrate CloudLinux products directly into your environment.

Every hosting provider knows the pressure: customers expect blazing speed, rock-solid stability, and bulletproof security, all while you keep costs low and margins healthy. That balancing act only gets harder as platforms age, workloads scale and more and more sites grow.

The ELevate update from CloudLinux 8 to CloudLinux 9 has now been released, giving you a direct and supported upgrade path.

Now, you get to leverage the performance gains, newer kernel, and long-term support of CloudLinux 9 without the hassle of a complete server rebuild.

It’s finally here! Full IPv6 support is now live across the CloudLinux Network (CLN), and for all CloudLinux OS versions. Lots of you have frequently requested this update, and this can now ensure that your infrastructure is ready for the future of the internet.

Running a hosting company today isn’t what it was ten years ago. Back then, if you offered decent uptime and reliable support, you were ahead of most of the market. Now, the dial has shifted. Customers don’t just want fast servers, they want peace of mind too. They want to know that their sites are secure, their data is protected, and that their business won’t suffer from an attack or breach.

If you run a hosting business, you know how tough security is. It can feel as though attacks become more sophisticated by the day, with bots launching brute-force attacks on login pages, malware sneaking in through outdated plugins and well-made phishing attempts aimed at your customers.
