Why DotStark

Why Enterprises Choose DotStark for Kentico

Silver Partner status is not a marketing badge — it is independently verified by Kentico. Here is what it means for your project.

01
Kentico Silver Partner — Independently Verified

Silver Partner status requires Kentico to independently verify our certified developer count, technical assessments, and project delivery track record. It is not self-reported. When you hire DotStark, you have a direct escalation path to Kentico's own technical team.

02
Official Upgrade Expert Badge Holder

DotStark holds Kentico's official Upgrade Expert qualification — one of only a handful of agencies globally to earn this designation. It specifically validates our expertise in XbyK migrations and platform upgrades from legacy Kentico versions.

03
15 Certified Developers — All of Them

Not just the senior architects — all 15 DotStark developers hold current Kentico certification. XbyK updates monthly, so DotStark requires ongoing certification renewal. The developer assigned to your project is genuinely certified, every time.

04
100+ Projects — Architecture-First Approach

We build for ROI, not billable hours. Every XbyK project starts with an architecture decision, not a template. 95% of our clients return for subsequent projects — the strongest measure of quality we can offer.

Kentico 13 End of Life

Kentico 13 Support Ends December 31, 2026

If your business runs Kentico 13, you have a fixed window to migrate to XbyK. Here is what you need to know.

After December 31, 2026, Kentico will cease all security patches, bug fixes, and official support for Kentico 13. Your site will not stop working on January 1st — but it will be running on permanently unsupported software. Every vulnerability discovered after that date stays open, indefinitely.

The downstream risk is significant. Running unsupported CMS can trigger GDPR, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance gaps. Cyber insurance policies that mandate supported software in your stack may be invalidated. And with no Kentico support available, your team carries 100% of the platform risk alone.

DotStark recommends beginning migration planning now — not in 2026. Agencies completing the best-planned migrations are already filling 2025–2026 project slots. Clients who wait until Q3 2026 face rushed timelines, premium pricing, and limited expert availability.

Unpatched Security VulnerabilitiesZero-day CVEs discovered after Dec 2026 will stay permanently open. No patches. No fixes. Known attack surface with no remedy.
Compliance Framework ExposureGDPR, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 requirements typically mandate supported software. Kentico 13 post-EOL may breach these frameworks.
Zero Kentico Platform SupportAfter Dec 31, 2026, no support tickets, no hotfixes, no escalation path for any platform-level Kentico issue.
Rush Migration Cost PremiumLast-minute migrations in Q3–Q4 2026 carry 40–60% cost premiums and limited certified agency availability.
