Security Update: PHP Vulnerability ("PHP2Shell")
Posted October 21, 2026
 
On October 20, details of two serious security flaws in PHP, the language behind most websites including Joomla and WordPress, were made public. Fixes were released on October 21. We're already taking steps to protect the sites we host.
 
What we're doing to protect your site
  • Working with our hosting provider to apply the PHP security updates across our servers.
  • Placing sites behind Cloudflare's firewall where we manage the domain, which blocks known attack attempts.
  • Reviewing every site we host, so any site on older software gets extra protection.
  • Monitoring our servers around the clock for signs of attack.
Do you need to do anything?
For most sites, no. We're handling it. If your site needs extra protection, we'll contact you directly. Depending on how your domain is set up, we may ask you to update your DNS settings or give us access so we can add Cloudflare, approve a temporary change to your site, or plan an upgrade to a supported platform.
 
If you haven't heard from us, there's nothing you need to do. We'll update this page as things progress.
