    We are aware that some customers may be temporarily unable to log in to WHM/cPanel due to a system update. Access via ports 2083/2087 is currently unavailable while this work is carried out. Please note that websites and emails remain fully operational and online. Our infrastructure team are working to restore full access as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and will update you as soon as normal access resumes. If you need any urgent assistance, please reach out to us.

    The root cause of this incident has been identified as an issue originating from cPanel and is outside of our direct control. It has impacted cPanel users globally across all vendors. cPanel have released a patch to address the problem, and our team is actively applying this update across affected systems as a Priority 1 task. We are continuing to make steady progress toward full resolution. Importantly, your website availability and core services remain fully operational. This issue is limited to cPanel access only. Sending and receiving emails, as well as website functionality, should continue to operate normally during this time. We are here to help you through this and will continue to provide updates as progress is made and will confirm once full access has been fully restored. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work closely with our upstream provider to resolve this matter.
