Dedicated Hosting News

WordPress and WP Engine are going through a disagreement that has gotten to a point where WordPress has decided to block WP Engine. This tension is due to WP Engine using WordPress’ resources, like the plugins and themes, without actually making financial or technical contributions to the open source platform. WordPress is a staple for millions of web developers, and the company officially decided to cut off access for WP Engine. This puts thousands of sites in danger, though.

WP Engine is a popular web hosting company that has long depended on WordPress for functions that drive its services. But Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, recently made it clear that this relationship was one-sided. He accused WP Engine of taking advantage of WordPress without support in…

If you’re willing to spend some extra time setting everything up, it’s possible to get Proxmox up and running on these credit card-sized boards.”

What just happened? If you’re an IT admin relying on Windows Server Update Services to manage updates across your network, it’s time to consider alternatives. Microsoft has officially announced that, while WSUS will continue to operate for now, the company is no longer investing in new capabilities or accepting feature requests for the service.

For those not intimately familiar with the inner workings of Windows enterprise administration, Windows Server Update Services has been a staple tool since its introduction in 2005 as “Software Update Services.” It allows IT teams to centrally manage and deploy updates across their Windows device fleets from a dedicated server, rather than having each machine fetch patches individually from Microsoft’s servers.
