Monitoring - On July 17, the "wp2shell" security vulnerability became known in the popular CMS WordPress. This vulnerability potentially allows attackers to inject malicious code into affected web spaces. At present, we are not aware of any instances where this vulnerability has been exploited. WordPress versions 6.8 and newer are affected. The WordPress team has released new packages—versions 6.8.6, 6.9.5, 7.0.2, and 7.1 beta 2—in which the security vulnerability has been fixed.
Customers using Managed WordPress from IONOS do not need to take any action. We are applying the necessary patches automatically. We strongly recommend that all users running a self-hosted WordPress on their web space update their installation to a current version. Further information regarding the security vulnerability can be found at https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/wordpress-core-wp2shell-rce-flaws-get-public-exploits-patch-now/

In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Jul 20, 2026 - 01:00 EDT
Scheduled - From the 20th to the 31st July 2026, we will be updating the operating system of our Dedicated Managed Servers. This will provide you with better resource utilization, higher system security, and the use of current protocols (TLS 1.3). If you use a website based on HTML/JavaScript/CSS or PHP (including CMS like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal), your website will continue to work without any changes. Custom scripts and applications in Python (update to 3.13), Ruby (update to 3.3), or Perl (update to 5.40.1) must be checked for compatibility beforehand. During the transition, there will be a brief interruption of availability lasting approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
