New
  • Managed servers get a big metrics upgrade

    In June we rolled out a brand new metrics interface for Cloud Containers, and now the same upgrade has reached all managed servers. Dedicated Servers, Virtual Servers, High Performance VMs - if they're managed by us, you can now see a lot more data about server load, CPU usage, RAM usage, database disk usage and more. Once the data is collected, you'll be able to select periods from 5 minutes to a year. The Knowledge Base explains how to find and filter your data.

Improved
  • API tweaks to container end points and docs

    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.
