Ben Gabler on AI, vibe coding and the security gap no one's talking about
AI tools are making it easier than ever for anyone to build and ship web applications, the gap between what works and what's secure is growing fast. TechRadar Pro brought together leading voices to examine the risks emerging as non-specialists push AI-generated code to production and what the hosting layer can do about it.
Seb de Lemos on AI, security and why infrastructure has to be the foundation
As AI lowers the barrier to building software, it's also raising the stakes for everyone responsible for running it securely. TechRound brought together leading voices in cybersecurity and AI to examine whether the industry has the infrastructure to contain the risks it's creating.
"If AI is lowering the barrier to building software, the industry must equally lower the barrier to building it safely." - Seb de Lemos, CEO, hosting.com
The conversation in this piece isn't abstract. It describes exactly the problem hosting.com was built to solve. When anyone can ship production software with AI, the governance, testing and review processes that used to be standard can't be assumed.
Security has to be engineered in from the start, not reviewed at the end, not bolted on after an incident. Every hosting.com plan is built on infrastructure that treats security as a foundation: WAF, malware protection, DDoS mitigation, and automated daily backups as standard.
As Seb puts it, meaningful safety infrastructure needs to span the full lifecycle, from development through to deployment and ongoing maintenance. That's not a philosophy statement. It's how we build.

This is creating a gap between how easily software can be built and how securely it can be deployed. Learn more about how hosting.com has changed the game with their AI application hosting platform.

Heart, hustle, and the future of hosting.com + Rocket.net
Managed Hosting for WordPress powered by Rocket.net is now live on hosting.com.

A new chapter begins: A2 Hosting evolves into hosting.com
After years of honing expertise under the A2 Hosting name, we have taken on one of the most recognisable domains on the internet.

The rebrand marks a new chapter: same team, same craft, a bigger platform, built for the next generation of customers.
