FlashStart 2026: a new era of Internet protection begins
The new platform is finally available: with FlashStart 2026, a new phase in Internet protection officially begins. The new DNS protection platform against malware, online threats and harmful content has now been released, completely redesigned to meet the needs of our customers.
1. The new FlashStart 2026 platform
FlashStart 2026 is the result of a deep evolution of the platform, designed to address the real needs of MSPs, ISPs and IT teams managing increasingly complex and distributed environments.
This is not just about adding new features, but about rethinking the way users work with FlashStart every day: more control, greater flexibility and fewer operational frictions.
The new platform introduces structural improvements and brand-new features, designed to simplify management and increase efficiency.
Key highlights include:
- Shared policies applicable to multiple customers, enabling centralized and consistent management, ideal for multi-tenant environments.
- Multi-administrator management, with dedicated access levels and advanced security through two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Enhanced network management, including support for CIDR, IP ranges and more flexible configurations.
- A completely redesigned user experience, with a modern, clear interface focused on day-to-day operations.
- Transition to a microservices-based architecture, ensuring greater scalability, reliability and faster platform evolution.
- Strong focus on usability and operational speed, with more intuitive actions and fewer unnecessary steps.
- Extensive API availability, designed for integrations with external systems, automation and custom workflows.
FlashStart 2026 is therefore a platform designed not only to do more, but to do it better, adapting to different operational models of MSPs, ISPs and IT professionals.

The first milestone is set for January 26th, with the official release of the new platform and the launch of the Pro version. From this date, new customers will be directly assigned Pro licenses, while existing customers will begin the migration of their current Pro licenses. At the same time, testing for Pro-version API integrations will begin, allowing a gradual adaptation of existing integrations.
The second milestone is scheduled for February 23rd, when the new platform will be fully operational and the Pro Plus version will be introduced. From this date, new customers will be able to activate Pro and Pro Plus licenses, while existing customers will see their Pro and Pro Plus licenses migrated to the new platform. In parallel, API integration testing for Pro Plus will begin, along with the migration of White Label solutions for existing customers.
The transition will be completed on April 30th, with the final migration to the new FlashStart platform. All licenses still active on the Legacy platform will be mandatorily migrated, the Legacy platform will officially enter End of Life, and its APIs and White Label functionalities will be discontinued. From this date onward, all customers will exclusively use FlashStart 2026 as their DNS protection platform.
