Summer starts with burning web hosting news. Because we’re hearing about acquisitions, expansions, next-gen solutions and new creations. So keep reading as we catch you infrastructure providers up with the most important web hosting news headlines this month.
For $7.5 billion, Microsoft acquired the web-based hosting service, GitHub, to offer devs more freedom, openness, and innovation opportunities. GitHub’s clients already include giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google, as developers use the service to work on projects, docs, and code. This union can open many opportunities, like new apps for Microsoft’s cloud-computing business.
Moreover, Microsoft invested considerably in open-source technology, which is right down GitHub’s alley. It can lead to better integration between Microsoft’s developer tools and the GitHub service. Not to mention, Microsoft uses the Git version control system for Windows development. And their developers exclusively use Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code.
Plesk is on GitHub too, by the way. And we also have a Plesk-Git integration, if you haven’t tried it yet. Check out what happens when Plesk meets Git.

Go through today’s quick Plesk Docker quiz in order to see if there’s something you’ve missed!
Docker as support to Plesk Onyx helps you meet the evolving requirements of your customers. Docker is open-source and automates deploying Linux applications inside lightweight software containers. These containers provide the same features as virtual machines (VMs).
The key difference is that containers share the host system’s kernel with other containers. This removes the resource overhead of running a hypervisor (hardware emulation) for each individual environment. It also optimizes disk use, because containers don’t need to have the entire system inside them. And it speeds up deployment too!
But how well can you manage and run web applications with Plesk on Docker? And are you getting the most out of the free Docker extension installed on your Plesk? Because Plesk Docker has a lot to offer.
