Starting today you and your new websites can call Toronto home too!

Earlier this year we announced that we’d begun offering free SSL certificates through Let’s Encrypt, an open source collaboration backed by some of the biggest names in the hosting and security industry. In the roughly 8 months that have passed we’ve found the program to be a huge success and the customer adoption rate has far exceeded what we initially expected. In light of that success, combined with our continuous effort to provide the most secure hosting platform possible, we’ve decided to become an official Let’s Encrypt sponsor! This is our first official sponsorship in our company history, and it’s one we couldn’t be both more proud of and excited about.
Happy to have @HawkHost on board as our newest sponsor!

As many of you have likely seen a serious Linux kernel vulnerability, aka Dirty COW, (CVE-2016-5195) was disclosed earlier this morning. This vulnerability impacts nearly every major Linux based OS, including RHEL and therefore our operating system CloudLinux. The vulnerability allows for an attacker to trigger a race condition in the memory management code which can then lead to a local privilege escalation.
Your websites, hosting accounts, and VPS plans are fully protected from this vulnerability. While most major vendors and systems are still being patched against Dirty COW we’ve already protected ourselves against this vulnerability thanks for our friends are KernelCare. Within hours of this vulnerability being disclosed we’ve applied a hotfix to protect our systems and your websites against this exploit. This patch was applied without requiring a system reboot, a unique feature that allows us to patch serious kernel level vulnerabilities without requiring downtime.
