April Newsletter 2026

Hello and welcome to this month's round up of everything that's happening across our community!

This Month

Security and Infrastructure Updates

Today, April 1, Reclaim Hosting is proud to announce the next generation of our shared hosting offering: WARP HOSTING. Over the coming months, we'll be moving all of our customers to servers running OS/2 WARP (the premier operating system of 1994). That's right, we're bringing the LAMP Stack (back) to the 20th century! Read the full update from our Head of Infrastructure.

Case Study Spotlight: From Experiment to Enterprise Service with Ed Beck

Learn about a brand new case study with special guest  Ed Beck from the State University of New York at Oneonta. In this case study, Ed Beck shares insights into what it takes to move an open-source software solution from experiment to enterprise service. He also explores how to win the support of colleagues and secure the funding needed to build, scale, and future-proof such projects from the outset.

Reduce Costs with Multi-Year Hosting Agreements

Costs are rising, especially in the technology industry, so we are working hard to find innovative ways to offer you not only the best value but also ways to plan and budget ahead. Organizations that commit to a 3-year term for our Managed Hosting or Domain of One’s Own plans can secure meaningful savings and predictability with:

• Predictable, stable budgeting for multiple years
• Price locked in for the full term—no increases during the contract period
• 5% pricing rollback to pre-increase rates
