Our customer care team are currently experiencing a higher-than-usual support workload as a result of ongoing security updates related to recent up-stream cPanel vulnerabilities. Our team is actively working through all customer related requests as quickly as possible. However, as a result, support response times may be slightly longer than usual during this period. We thank you so much for your patience with our team, and your understanding while we continue to assist affected customers.
Support operations have returned to normal following the recent cPanel security patches. All pending requests related to this event have been addressed. Thank you for your patience during this period.
We were made aware of a possible authentication vulnerability with the cPanel control panel system which was responsibly disclosed to cPanel and on their advice we have blocked access to cPanel and WHM on all managed systems while they release an update. This has taken the cPanel interface offline intentionally while a patch is released. We expect to be back online within a couple of hours. Apologies for the inconvenience, but your security is our top priority. Your website, emails and other services are not affected.
Patches are currently being deployed across our servers and affected systems, and access to cPanel is beginning to recover. Login functionality has already returned to normal for some customers. While some clients may still experience login issues, we encourage you to reach out to our friendly support team for assistance. We’d like to reassure you that website availability, as well as services such as DNS and email, remain active and are operating as expected. Thank you again for your patience. If you have any questions or need support, our team is available 24/7—please don’t hesitate to get in touch
