A little known fact is the Control Panel is eventually consistent for Cloud Containers. That means if a change is made directly on your server (like a container shuts down) or a job takes longer than we expect, that change will appear in the Control Panel soon(ish). We've now made this process much faster (push vs pull) – so the rare scenario where information might not have been quite up-to-date is now even rarer!
A few updates for users of the SiteHost API, mostly concerning dates on container end points. First, you can now see the created
and date_updated
information for container servers via the cloud/server/list_all
endpoint. Secondly, the cloud/server/list_all
, cloud/stack/list_all
and cloud/stack/image/list_all
endpoints now let you pass an updated_since
parameter to only return items that have been modified on or after the specified date. All these changes are noted in our API documentation which has also had a once-over to fix some mistakes and clarify example code.
A new "Admin" privilege can be assigned to Contacts in your SiteHost account. Admins can customise Module access of other users, and can control some security settings - like upcoming changes to our 2FA feature...
In some cases older email clients were getting tripped up by our mail servers SSL handshakes requirements. We've made some changes to make it handle things a bit more gracefully and hopefully prevent any issues.
We've fixed an issue that was preventing Private Cloud customers upgrading disk space on their Virtual Servers and Cloud Containers running on private hardware nodes via the Control Panel or API.
