HostPapa launches dedicated server hosting with five tiers
The new Dedicated Server Hosting service comes in five performance tiers, with each offering a range of hardware configurations intended to support more demanding workloads. Businesses can choose from managed or unmanaged server options, both designed to deliver on performance, security, and reliability.
Jamie Opalchuk, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HostPapa, stated, "HostPapa is known for our powerful hosting options with top-tier customer support. Our new Dedicated Server Hosting plans offer affordable performance and high customer control that was previously out of reach for many small and medium-sized businesses."
Hardware featured in the dedicated server plans includes high-performance Intel and AMD processors, NVMe storage, broad bandwidth allocations, and memory options up to 256GB. The managed dedicated server plans include cPanel access, enhanced security functionality, and technical support, while unmanaged options provide customers with maximum configuration flexibility.
Corey Hammond, Chief Marketing Officer at HostPapa, commented, "Our product team has carefully designed these plans for businesses that have outgrown traditional shared or VPS hosting. Whether it's hosting high-traffic websites, running data-intensive applications, or supporting resource-intensive business solutions, our dedicated servers deliver the performance, security, and reliability businesses need to succeed."
The Dedicated Server Hosting plans are supported by HostPapa's 30-day money-back guarantee and offer comprehensive, round-the-clock assistance via the PapaSquad customer support team.
Additional benefits for managed server customers include advanced server control panels, security enhancements such as SSL certificates, and several backup storage configurations. The managed hosting tier is intended for businesses seeking to outsource server upkeep, security updates, and performance management.
Marian Onofrei, Vice President of Operations, said, "For managed server customers, we handle the bulk of server maintenance, security updates, and performance optimisation, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations rather than IT management. For unmanaged customers who prefer greater control, our team is still available to provide guidance and support whenever needed."
The new Dedicated Server Hosting plans have been made available to businesses looking for hosting solutions that support high-traffic or resource-intensive operations.

Michael Parker joins TurinTech to lead Artemis AI expansion
Michael Parker, previously of Docker, has joined TurinTech as Vice President of Engineering to oversee the scaling of the company's Artemis AI engineering platform. Appointment and background Parker brings considerable experience in developer tooling and platform engineering, having held senior roles at Docker, where he was responsible for leading modernisation of the company's cloud platform as well as improving the developer experience. His career includes building scalable systems and managing distributed engineering teams globally. At Docker, Parker was involved in steering the firm's transition from infrastructure-focused solutions to developer-first tooling, leading initiatives such as platform modernisation and overseeing the user experience behind Docker Hub. Role at TurinTech In his new post at TurinTech, Parker will be responsible for engineering delivery across both cloud and on-premises deployments of Artemis. He will focus on integrating AI agents into software development processes, overseeing planning workflows and deploying outcome-based review tools, aiming to enable developers to work seamlessly with AI technologies. TurinTech's Artemis platform is built to support the new era of agentic AI in software development, offering teams guidance, validation of AI contributions, and aligning development work with organisational goals. The platform is structured around an outcome-first approach, prioritising productivity gains that can be measured and verified. Mike Basios, Chief Technology Officer at TurinTech, commented: "We're building Artemis to help teams get the most out of AI - whether that's LLMs, agents, or both. It's not about generating more code - it's about delivering measurably improved outcomes." Parker's appointment comes as TurinTech prepares for a broader rollout of Artemis. The platform is already in use by several global enterprises, including Intel and Taylor Wessing, as part of its limited launch phase earlier this year. Addressing the challenges facing the adoption of agentic AI, Parker emphasised the importance of structured workflows in development environments reliant on AI agents. "Agentic development is a powerful shift, but it needs structure to succeed," said Michael Parker, VP of Engineering. "With Artemis, we're building the planning and workflow intelligence that lets AI agents work more like real teammates. Developers stay in control, but get meaningful support - from scoping to implementation to validation. It's about tackling the real-world friction in today's GenAI tools and making AI genuinely useful in everyday engineering." TurinTech reports growing demand for Artemis, as organisations recognise the need for platforms that not only generate code but also deliver functional, production-ready software with a clear focus on organisational outcomes. Market response Leslie Kanthan, CEO and Co-founder of TurinTech, said that interest in Artemis has expanded since its initial roll-out. He highlighted the significance of Parker's recruitment in supporting the company's ambitions to increase the platform's availability to more teams worldwide. "Demand for Artemis continues to grow since our limited launch earlier this year. Global enterprises like Intel and Taylor Wessing are already engaging, and we're seeing strong developer interest in our AI-driven engineering platform. With Michael onboard, we're excited to accelerate availability and bring the power of Artemis to more teams, faster." As part of the broader expansion, Parker has also recruited former colleagues Johnny Stoten and Diogo Ferreira, who previously held roles at Docker, to further bolster the engineering function at TurinTech. TurinTech focuses on building systems that evolve and improve both code and machine learning models. Its products, including Artemis for code and evoML for machine learning pipelines, use agentic planning, evolutionary algorithms and real-time validation to achieve results that can be measured in a production environment. The aim is to help clients move beyond basic AI generation, facilitating the deployment of software that is robust, efficient and aligned with organisational objectives.

Norton adds AI-powered deepfake detection to Genie assistant
Norton has introduced deepfake detection capabilities in its Norton Genie AI assistant, now available via early access in the Norton 360 mobile app. The new feature enables users to analyse audio and visual content for indications of manipulation, such as AI-generated voices or altered images. It is currently accessible on mobile devices in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, with support for desktop environments expected in the near future. Detection features Norton Deepfake Protection in the Genie AI Assistant allows users to review videos and audio files for signs that they may have been tampered with using artificial intelligence techniques. The detection system works by evaluating for inconsistencies or subtle deformations in the physical characteristics of individuals presented in video content. The tool extends beyond identifying deepfake voices, and instead focuses on a broader range of manipulation, including changes to facial features and movements that typically occur in AI-generated multimedia scams. If the Genie AI Assistant recognises potential deepfake material, it immediately provides users with relevant cybersecurity guidance and suggestions for next steps. Leena Elias, Chief Product Officer at Gen, commented on the significance of the new feature. She stated: "As AI-generated voices and faces become harder to distinguish from the real thing, trust is rapidly becoming one of the most fragile elements of our digital lives. The line between truth and deception is blurring, especially when malicious actors can abuse AI to create scams that replicate voices and imagery with startling realism. This is why we've made our deepfake protection accessible to people who don't have AI hardware, so they can confidently navigate and consume digital content without second-guessing what they see or hear." The early access version focuses initially on English-language YouTube videos. Users are able to upload YouTube links to the Genie AI Assistant, which then analyses the video for manipulation and provides real-time feedback on its authenticity. According to Norton, if potentially malicious AI-generated content is found, the Assistant will flag it and supply practical advice on how to proceed. Planned improvements and rollout The deepfake detection system is currently available in Norton 360 mobile products on both Android and iOS platforms, with expansion to desktop environments in progress. The company has also shared intentions to widen the tool's reach, with future updates planning to add more languages and platforms for deepfake analysis. In addition, later in the year, support for deepfake protection will include AI PCs powered by Intel chipsets. Norton stated that these devices will benefit from further-advanced detection capabilities on both desktop and mobile applications. The launch reflects the ongoing shift in cybersecurity priorities driven by the increasing sophistication of AI-generated scams. Cybercriminals have turned to deepfakes as a tool to impersonate people and spread misinformation, leading to greater concerns for digital identity verification and safety. The new protection methods aim to address these risks by giving individuals the ability to check questionable audio or video content before it has a real-world impact. Norton's development of new deepfake monitoring capabilities forms part of broader efforts to protect consumers from a range of AI-based scams. The company has indicated it will continue to expand its scam protection offerings across its suite of digital safety products. Follow us on: Share on:
