Qwen3.8-27B has superseded Qwen 3.6-27B as a same-model-family replacement on our AI Platform. Extensive validation tests showed improved performance across the board, as well as reduced token usage. Like every model we make available, we're hosting it in New Zealand, on our own servers, with zero data retention. Read more about using our AI Platform in the Knowledge Base.
Anyone with Managed Cloud Containers can now enable or disable Traffic Protection for individual Containers. You can find the Traffic Protection toggle on the Containers Settings screen in the Control Panel. Traffic Protection can also be toggled on/off at a server level. By default, Traffic Protection is on. As always, you can add Server Management today. Read more about our Traffic Protection work on the blog.
We’ve given our Dedicated Server plans a significant refresh, including a new entry-level server at our lowest price point in a while. You can read all about the new plans and our work to supply these builds on the blog.
A new product line-up, Reserved Virtual Servers (RVS), combines dedicated CPU cores and RAM with the benefits of slick virtualistion. When a Virtual Server isn't enough and a Dedicated Server looks a bit expensive, a new RVS might be exactly what you need.
To better support server-side tracking for Google Tag Manager, we’ve made an unmodified instance of Google’s GTM Docker image available as a pre-built image on Cloud Containers. As the blog explains, this idea came straight from a SiteHost customer.
Perfect for development or test environments, or for running small projects away from your production environment, you can now stand up a Development Virtual Server for only $7.50 a month. They're not production-ready though, so read all about Development Virtual Servers before you get started.
The 'Add Service' screen was looking overloaded even before we added a new category of Virtual Servers today. This, plus a limitation that stopped the AI Platform from appearing, made it time for a redesign. Now you'll see more options, sensibly grouped and presented in a more comfortable display.
We've reworked the Databases tab in the Containers page of the Control Panel to provide more context and Container-focused options. You can now filter by where the databases back up to and get the database hostname on the page.
You can now view logs for any Cloud Container or Cloud Container Server alongside all your other data in the metrics interface. Filter by server, by Container, and by any timespan from the last five minutes to the three months. We've also added a lot more visibility into request rates, HTTP status codes, and IPs accessing your sites. Catch up on all the updates to the metrics interface in the blog.
We released v0.7.0 of GoSH, our Golang client library. It's a major expansion of API coverage, introducing more endpoints and functionality coverage, as well as fixing some bugs.
We've released version 2.0.0 of our Terraform Provider, making use of the updated GoSH package and SiteHost API v1.5. You'll get more reliable server provisioning, and properly restored job polling after server deletes or upgrades. The change locks the provider to SiteHost API v1.5, meaning the API version can no longer be changed.
We've launched our AI Platform. You can now access fast, private and cost-effective open-weight AI models hosted here in New Zealand. Offload your data workload without any data retention. Check out the Knowledge Base to learn how it works.
