Most hosting companies sell you a server and disappear. 365i does things differently. From personalised screencast tutorials to one-click DKIM setup and 37 built-in control panel tools, here's what WordPress hosting looks like when someone actually cares whether you succeed.
WordPress released versions 6.9.2, 6.9.3, and 6.9.4 in a single day after discovering that initial security fixes were incomplete. Four vulnerabilities, including a critical PclZip path traversal flaw, are already being exploited. If you manage your own WordPress updates, this is your wake-up call.
A 180-page Lords report warns that AI companies are scraping UK website content without permission, payment, or disclosure. The committee wants licensing, not opt-out. Here's what it means for the 5.5 million UK businesses publishing content online, and five steps you can take before the law catches up.
Every week someone on LinkedIn announces the death of SEO, websites, or WordPress. The internet has been dying since 2005 and yet here we all still are. Meanwhile, the real conversion killer is painfully boring: your hosting is too slow.
The web has seen this pattern twice before: robots.txt in 1994, sitemaps in 2005. AI Discovery Files are at that same early stage. 99.7% of UK websites have none deployed. Here's what they are, why they matter, and how to get started.

Here's what actually happened, and what UK businesses still managing their own certificates should do before the 100-day cap lands in 2027.
The AI Discovery Files plugin is now on WordPress.org. Free, no premium tier. Fill in your business details and it generates up to 10 AI discovery files for ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. The more you put in, the better the output.
56% of deployed AI discovery files fail validation. The files exist, the server returns 200 OK, and AI systems still can't use them. Here's how to test what AI actually sees when it reads your files, fix the three most common failures, and prove your business shows up correctly.
43% of UK businesses reported a cyber breach last year. If your WordPress site has a contact form, analytics, or customer logins, security and GDPR overlap. This seven-step checklist covers SSL, two-factor authentication, safe updates, daily backups, user permissions, GDPR compliance, and security monitoring.
