HOSTING NEWS
Industry news sourced where it breaks: provider newsrooms, trade press, community boards, status pages and CVE feeds, pulled nightly and reviewed by a human editor before anything is published. Briefs link straight to the original article; we summarise, we do not republish. Analysis pieces add what only a directory of 28,000+ hosts can: reliability scores, segment and country context.
WordPress.com has launched a free education plan aimed at students and teachers. Called WordPress.com Education, it gives teachers the ability to offer pupils free domains, plug-in support and professional website-building tools. The move targets younger users, positioning WordPress.com as a platform for the next generation of web creators.
PJM Interconnection, which operates the largest power grid in the United States, may temporarily cut electricity to data centers to prevent wider blackouts. The move reflects growing strain on grid operators as data centre construction continues at a rapid pace, outstripping their ability to generate sufficient power to meet demand.
The news index is populated nightly from primary sources: provider newsrooms and blogs, independent trade press, community boards, provider status pages and vulnerability feeds. Briefs are drafted with AI assistance and every item is reviewed, edited and approved by a human editor before publication; nothing is published automatically. Briefs link out, so the original publisher gets the click and the credit, and no affiliate revenue is attached to news links. Syndication and partner sources receive no ranking consideration: the news layer and the HostList Reliability Index never touch.
