Security update: Your website is being protected

On 21 October, critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology behind WordPress and many other websites, required urgent action across the hosting industry.

Castlegate IT worked closely with our hosting providers to prepare for the necessary security updates. Importantly, our hosting partners and Cloudflare implemented additional firewall protections before the security patches were released, helping to protect websites against attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The necessary patches have now been applied across our main managed hosting environments. A small number of legacy environments remain protected by additional firewall measures while their updates are completed.

No action is required from our clients. We continue to monitor the situation and manage the necessary security measures on their behalf.

York IT Services

York IT Services was originally set up to service business customers, but quickly expanded to include support for home computer users. In 2004, Simon opened the company’s first shop, giving the business a high-street presence and making it more accessible for customers

Their current site wasn’t efficiently split between their two main clients (home users & business users), and lacked modern responsive design features to make it easy to navigate and use on a mobile device.

We built a new responsive, mobile-friendly site. To make clear the distinction between Home and Business use, we colour-coded the pages; all home user pages are themed blue and all business user pages are red. Finally, the site will integrate with York IT Services’ existing 3rd party remote support system.
