Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://truecorehosting.com/blog/customer-ssh-isolation/ https://truecorehosting.com/blog/customer-ssh-isolation/ When you SSH into our server, you don't actually get the server — you get a sandbox shaped exactly like a server. Here's how flame-bubble uses Linux namespaces, bwrap, and cgroups to keep customers fully separated on shared infrastructure. Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://truecorehosting.com/blog/when-ransomware-hit-cpanel/ https://truecorehosting.com/blog/when-ransomware-hit-cpanel/ A pre-auth CRLF injection bug in cPanel let attackers ransomware around 44,000 servers in a few days. We don't run cPanel — but the bug class is generic, and we audited our own outbound mail code the same week to make sure we hadn't shipped the same shape of mistake.

We operate our own three-nameserver fleet — flame-dnsd, on three independent boxes, with sub-five-second zone propagation. Here's why. Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://truecorehosting.com/blog/why-we-check-our-own-backups/ https://truecorehosting.com/blog/why-we-check-our-own-backups/ We had a freshness-monitor bug that made backups look healthy when they weren't running. We caught it. Here's the story, and why automated 'backups OK' green ticks deserve healthy scepticism.

Nothing — because we use Shamir secret sharing to split the master key across the fleet, and a single share goes offline with us.

Here's why: it required Node.js, the install was thin, WordPress already covers the use case, and we had no real customer demand. Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://truecorehosting.com/blog/what-uptime-numbers-mean/ https://truecorehosting.com/blog/what-uptime-numbers-mean/ 99.9% uptime permits 8 hours of downtime a year.
