	<description><![CDATA[Dear customer,

We would like to inform you about a change in global SSL/TLS security standards, effective March 12, 2026. This change applies to all certificate authorities and affects the technical validity of SSL certificates, not your subscription or pricing.

---

### What will change from March 12, 2026?
From this date, SSL certificates must be reissued more frequently during their subscription term. This is a global security measure that applies to all publicly trusted SSL/TLS certificates.

Important to note:
- SSL certificates will continue to be sold as annual or multi-year subscriptions
- Your SSL subscription and pricing remain unchanged
- Reissuance takes place within the existing term

---

### What does this mean for you?
For most customers, nothing changes in practice.

- If your domain name and DNS are managed by Vservs  
  → We will handle validation and reissuance fully automatically via our DNS systems.

- If your domain and/or DNS is hosted externally (with another provider)  
  → In some cases you may need to perform a validation step yourself, such as adding a DNS record or file. We will notify you in advance when action is required.

⚠️  Fully managed SSL validation for domains using Vservs DNS  
⚠️ External DNS or registration may require manual validation

If your SSL certificate is managed by Vservs, we will handle reissuance automatically where possible, without website downtime.

---

### Short FAQ

Do I need to take action on March 12, 2026?  
No. Your SSL will remain active and be reissued automatically within your existing subscription.

Will pricing or contract terms change?  
No. SSL subscriptions remain annual or multi-year with no changes.

Why is this being introduced?  
This is a global security measure to improve internet safety and respond faster to security incidents.

---

### Summary
- ✔️ Effective date: March 12, 2026
- ✔️ No pricing changes
- ✔️ No action required for most customers
- ✔️ Fully automated for domains and DNS via Vservs
- ✔️ External DNS may require customer validation

	<description><![CDATA[Dear customer,

We would like to inform you about an update in the classification of our DirectAdmin licenses, to ensure clarity about the configuration you are using and the available upgrade options.

---

### DirectAdmin Legacy
Customers with an existing DirectAdmin license have been assigned to DirectAdmin Legacy.  
This configuration remains fully supported and can continue to be used, with the following characteristics:

- MariaDB 10.6 LTS
- Unlimited accounts and domains
- Enterprise support for MariaDB until August 23, 2029
- No upgrade possible to MariaDB versions higher than 10.6

For many environments, MariaDB 10.6 remains stable and more than sufficient. You are free to continue using this configuration as long as it meets your requirements.

---

### Upgrade to newer MariaDB versions (with Pro Pack)
If you wish to use newer MariaDB versions (11.4 or higher), an upgrade of your DirectAdmin license is required.

An upgrade option is available in the client area to:
- DirectAdmin Lite + Pro Pack (max. 10 accounts / 50 domains)
- DirectAdmin Standard + Pro Pack (unlimited accounts & domains)

These modern licenses include the DirectAdmin Pro Pack, which provides additional features such as:
- Advanced backup and restore functionality
- Enhanced security and system features
- Extended tooling for professional and production environments
- Support for modern software stacks and future updates

---

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to take action now?  
No. Your current environment will continue to operate as it does now. There is no mandatory upgrade.

Why is MariaDB limited to version 10.6 with DirectAdmin Legacy?  
DirectAdmin Legacy is based on a fixed, long-term supported configuration. Newer MariaDB versions require a modern DirectAdmin license type.

Is MariaDB 10.6 still secure and supported?  
Yes. MariaDB 10.6 is an LTS release with enterprise support until 23-08-2029.

What do I gain by upgrading?  
You gain access to newer MariaDB versions (11.4+) and the DirectAdmin Pro Pack, including advanced features and long-term compatibility.

Can I upgrade at a later time?  
Yes. The upgrade option will remain available in the client area.

---

### No action required
- Your current environment remains unchanged  
- There is no required upgrade  
- An upgrade is only needed if you want a newer MariaDB version or Pro Pack features  

If you have any questions or would like advice on which option best fits your situation, we are happy to assist you.

Kind regards,
