Frequently Asked Questions

php2shell is two critical flaws in PHP, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, made public on October 21, 2026. Under the right conditions they could let an attacker run code on a web server without logging in.

No action was needed from Vodlix customers. We patched before the flaws were made public, and every Vodlix cloud, and so every customer platform, is updated.

Vodlix Shield filters incoming requests in front of our systems, and our AI monitoring watches traffic for attack patterns.

Install the security update for your PHP version, or ask your hosting provider to, and read your providers' advisories. Plan an upgrade for any site on a PHP version that no longer gets security updates.

Dacast lists Starter at $39 a month, Event at $63 a month and Scale at $165 a month, each billed annually, on its pricing page as read on November 4, 2026. Custom plans for high volume are quoted on request.

Yes. Dacast's pricing page offers a free 14-day trial. Its blog's trial box, read on November 4, 2026, says the trial includes 10 GB of bandwidth, so plan a small test rather than a full event.

Dacast sets a bandwidth allowance for each plan, from 2.4 TB a year on Starter to 24 TB a year on Scale. Its pricing page, read on November 4, 2026, does not publish a price per GB over that allowance and points high-volume users to a Custom plan, so ask Dacast before you sign.

Dacast's pricing page lists no branded app price: its player embeds in apps you build. Vodlix includes your own iOS and Android apps on PAYG Apps, at $299 a month plus $0.99 per active subscriber for subscriptions only, and on Professional at $1,550 a month with live streaming, as of November 2026. Which costs less depends on what building your own apps would cost you.

Dacast's Event plan card, at $63 a month billed annually, lists a paywall and pre, mid and post roll advertising, and Scale includes everything in Event. The feature table on the same page marks the paywall and advertising as add-ons in some columns, so confirm with Dacast which plan includes them.
