MassiveHoster (illimité, 3,99€/mois)

My friends, it's time to look at the Huge Security Flaw that affected cPanel! Apparently, this scary hole was running since late February... 😳 It was a massive flaw that allowed anyone to connect as "root" to the server, easily, just by tweaking the user session a little... 💥 cPanel has the lives of millions of people in its hands. It's an Ultra-Premium Solution that is Extremely Expensive for the service provided! Nowadays, "AI" like Claude, Gemini (and so on), can audit the code security of software like cPanel, and detect security holes that would have been ignored by humans. They even excel at it. ❌ This obvious security hole should never have passed, especially not in 2026! It's negligence. cPanel was bought 8-years ago by an investment company whose priority seems to be "profits", before "innovation" and concernes like "security". I therefore invite each of you... - end-users of cPanel, - hosting providers, - dedicated server owners... - everyone! ...to take advantage of this incident to sincerely think about the opinion you have on this so-called "Market Leader Standard Web Solution etcetera". In April 2024 (exactly 2 years ago 🎂), we made the bet for @MassiveHoster, to launch a web hosting provider "WITHOUT cPanel", because of their unpredictable pricing (which increases every year with a ~ 2 month notice without any notable innovation)... But also, because serious and reliable alternatives exist! We made the choice of DirectAdmin. A panel launched in 2002 whose forum contains hundreds of thousands of Topics! It's not a newborn baby. We configured our DirectAdmin panel for that users enjoy an experience that is as close as possible to cPanel with the famous Home full of icons. And out of about 700 customers for this young project, we received, like, 5 feedbacks from people who said they did not like our panel and wanted to go back to cPanel at EasyHoster, o2switch or others. All the rest of our customer-base got used to DirectAdmin in a few hours/days! DirectAdmin includes +90% of cPanel features and even has a few advantages, like... - the email box import script via IMAP, - no billing for user accounts, which makes it easier to offer low cost isolation, - the assignment of real IP addresses to sub-accounts, without a "homemade" DIY proxy system, - a more efficient database import tool than the one in phpMyAdmin, - an excellent File Manager that could be compared with the cPanel's one, - a better integration of Redis (better isolated than with cPanel), And of course, the integration of all the tools you love: - Softaculous, - Imunify360, - CloudLinux, - Imunify360, - PHP X-Ray, - AccelerateWP, - Python Setup, - Node.js Setup, - Jetbackup5, - etc. After 2 years of extremely intensive use, on a so-called "unlimited" offer (MassiveHoster), with very demanding users... we can assure you that DirectAdmin is very performant and holds up perfectly! I think it is time to ask ourselves the question... Do we really need cPanel ( NO ) and do we want to keep paying 10-times more for a solution that brings nothing more and that we cannot even trust anymore in terms of security! ⚠️‼️ cPanel did not even apologize… There will obviously be no "compensation" and they will likely still increase their prices in 2027, just like every year (?) On the technical side, cPanel advises its entire ecosystem to reinstall all their servers from scratch (a humanly IMPOSSIBLE task for the majority of hosting providers); all this relying on a bash script supposed to indicate if the "exploit" was used or not, but very poorly coded, which therefore systematically generates false positives. "[!] INDICATORS OF COMPROMISE DETECTED - IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED" Concerns ~ all servers... Cold and brutal recommendation: "If the server is confirmed to be root-compromised, you will need to migrate the cPanel accounts to a known clean server. Or alternatively, reinstall the operating system on the server and restore the accounts from backups." But yeees, of course! because this kind of work is done in 4-hours 🤡 (NO, 4-weeks) Zero empathy, respect, or assistance in this worrying situation! Personally, it lowers my trust. What am I paying for? And you, what do you think? If you view the monopoly of this ultra-expensive solution in a bad light, small Likes or RTs are always welcome.
