Our server configurator has been redesigned for ordering and modifying the configuration of a dedicated server in the disk section. This is a major update that will significantly reduce the likelihood of errors when setting up a server whilst also enabling users to work with disks cross multiple controllers.
Key elements of the redesign include:
The storage controller for each slot is now displayed on our order, reinstallation and disk upgrade pages
We've made partition creation more flexible with a dedicated dialog window
We've added support for directly connected NVMe disks
We've implemented a new configurator on our reinstall and Disk Upgrade pages
You can now use multiple controllers within a single server simultaneously
These changes will make it quicker and easier for our customers to configure servers, choose multiple controller types, and customize based on workload and performance.
We've improved the billing address validation process to help ensure smoother and faster account activation for our customers. By reducing the chance of incomplete or incorrect address entries, clients can now avoid delays and enjoy a more seamless onboarding experience.
We've put in two key Quality of Life (QoL) updates across the portal, for the convenience of our users. These include:
Load balancing tools now allow sorting of upstream candidates by hostname and IP address. This makes it easier for our customers to find specific servers, organize the list in a way that makes sense, and troubleshoot problems quickly.
Our customers can now update custom SSL certificates in the public API. This is a time-saver, especially for customers managing many websites or servers.
We've upgraded our customer portal in two ways:
On the server selection page, you can now filter servers by:
CPU frequency
Core count
Disk size
RAM
It's also possible to search across multiple locations or filter by provisioning time. Additionally, server cards now display more technical specs, helping customers choose their server faster. Put simply, it's much easier to find the right server.
The OS selection interface on the order page has been redesigned, making it more compact and easier to navigate. We'll also be adding OS logos for quick recognition - so watch this space!
Prior to these updates, customers had to either manually review the specs of each server or rely on their account manager. By improving the OS selection interface and adding flexible and convenient filtering for server selection, it is now much easier for our users to select servers that best match their specific needs.
