PHP security vulnerabilities – customer update
Monitoring - On October 20, two critical PHP vulnerabilities were announced: CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. These vulnerabilities have a CVSS score of 9.2 and could potentially be exploited to execute code remotely on a server without requiring authentication.

The vulnerabilities may affect all PHP versions starting from PHP 5.

If you use PHP on your Bare Metal, Dedicated Server, VPS, we strongly recommend updating PHP with the patches that are available. If you are running cPanel/Plesk, patches are also available, and you should apply them. If you have a site/s running on these products from us, we recommend that you review your PHP usage and the version being used by you or your customers and take relevant actions.

If you have managed server/vps with us, then these are/have been patched by our teams.

About This Site

This network status page was developed to provide a service status overview for customers of Simply Hosting & Servers (a trading name of PoundHost Internet Ltd). The server is hosted in the USA so it is geographically separate from our UK data centres and network infrastructure.

There is an XML feed listing the current (5 minute) service checks. We also offer an RSS feed of our service announcements, both of which are freely available to customers and anyone else who find them useful.

For any queries, please call 0333 247 0222 or write to us at Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited, Acton House, Perdiswell Park, Worcester, WR3 7GD

Scheduled Maintenance

Network Maintenance Nov 6, 2026 21:00 - Nov 7, 2026 06:00 GMT

One of our fibre suppliers providing connectivity between our London Telehouse and London Slough data centres is conducting maintenance to their fibre path due to necessary cable re-routing in London.

As we have diverse fibre connectivity between these locations we do not expect any disruption and traffic will fail over to other routes, but those routes will be at-risk during the maintenance window:

21:00 (GMT) on Friday 6th November 2026
to
06:00 (GMT) on Saturday 7th November 2026.

During the update, VMs will be put in a save state, so they will be unreachable for a few minutes. If for any reason this isn't possible and the automated script fails, they will be forcibly shut down.

Oct 21, 22:00 BST
Scheduled - During this maintenance window we will be migrating the routing of some dedicated server products to a new pair of routers as we look to deprecate the existing routing platform.
This work will cause a service interruption for affected customers as their default gateway moves between devices however the duration of this interruption should only last for a few minutes.
Based on the operating system of the server and local configuration it may take up to 5 minutes for servers to recognise this change and update their arp tables accordingly, however in the vast majority of cases this will only take a few seconds once the new gateway comes up.
