WebPros is now offering hosting, business email, managed WordPress, WHMCS Cloud, and more through its new WebPros Cloud platform.

The question many hosts are asking:

When your software vendor starts selling the same services you do, are they still your partner?

The debate is heating up 👇

The search for the world’s cheapest 10Gbps dedicated server is generating a lot of discussion on WebHostingTalk.

Interesting seeing providers weigh:
• bandwidth economics
• infrastructure costs
• location tradeoffs
• customer expectations
• what’s realistically sustainable at ultra-low pricing

Can ultra-cheap high-bandwidth servers actually work long term?

The operational fallout alone raises major questions around:

• customer data access
• geopolitical exposure
• datacenter dependency

Old PHP versions aren’t going away anytime soon 😬

A hosting customer just upgraded servers… and instead of modernizing their shopping cart, they’re looking for a cheap cPanel host that still supports PHP 5.6.

This raises a bigger question for the hosting industry:

⚠️ How many actively selling ecommerce sites are still running outdated software?
⚠️ Why is upgrading still seen as “too risky” or “too much work”?
⚠️ And where does security fit into all of this?

There are still a TON of businesses running legacy stacks — often relying on developers and software authors doing everything possible to keep aging systems alive.

Where do we go from here?
