It’s World Backup Day: a reminder that backups aren’t optional, they’re critical for business. Downtime, ransomware, accidental deletion, or human error can happen anytime. The difference between disruption and recovery is whether your backups are automated, tested, and accessible when you need them. With built-in backup capabilities in Plesk, including scheduled, incremental, full-server, and remote storage options, teams can protect data without adding operational complexity. If your backups haven’t been reviewed recently, today is a good day to start!

The day at CloudFest 2026 started with... surprise, surprise! The doors of the WebPros Cloud Pavilion opening for the first time! 🥳 1,000sqm of indoor-outdoor space - a stage with three days of programming, a bar, a swag shop, and an exhibition area featuring 7 brands. It's the kind of presence that says something without needing to say it: Our investment this year proves the value we see in this community. 🥰 The main stage spent the morning wrestling with a tension that's increasingly hard to ignore: the same AI infrastructure wave everyone wants to ride is also the biggest new pressure on energy consumption, data sovereignty, and cost margins. Keynotes from HPE, Dell Technologies, Ampere, and NVIDIA all circled this - building smarter while building greener is no longer a nice-to-have framing. At the Pavilion, the programming had its own through-line. Oliver Sild (Patchstack) opened the stage with a frank assessment of the state of WordPress security - useful context given that the HackerSpace track was running parallel sessions on AI-assisted attacks and browser-level exploits all afternoon. Andrew Simpson (VERISIGN) followed with domain registration data mapped against hosting trends. Remkus de Vries made a convincing case that most WordPress performance issues are a process and decision problem before they're a technical one. The WebPros team's contributions across the day: Jesse A. joined Verisign's Sameer Thakar on the .com Stage to reframe the customer acquisition-to-retention conversation through the lens of domain strategy - a timely argument for any hosting provider thinking seriously about churn. Carlos Rego introduced WHMCS Support Copilot: AI that drafts context-aware ticket responses using customer history, open invoices, and KB articles - with a human reviewing and sending every reply. At $14.20 average cost per manual ticket, the ROI case writes itself. Closed beta opens Q2 2026. Sruthi Yalaka and CloudLinux's Ákos Vajda presented findings from 446 hosting providers worldwide. Around 65% grew last year, but margins are being squeezed from both directions. 86% now compete on value rather than price. AI sits at the centre of both the problem and the opportunity. Shridhar Luthria laid out the WebPros Cloud proposition: a fully managed wholesale infrastructure platform across 62 global locations that lets hosters, registrars, and resellers expand their product offering without the CapEx overhead. Michael Fowler closed the WebPros stage with Nova, WebPros' agentic web and application builder - white-label, partner-first, and built for a market projected at $20.1B by 2033. The Pavilion wraps up with happy hour and live music. CloudFest continues through the evening. Day 3 tomorrow! #WebPros #CloudFest #WebHosting #AI #Nova #WHMCS #WordPress #cPanel #Plesk
