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.
You can now easily request a Private VLAN if you have High Performance Virtual Servers, and manage VLANs by adding and removing servers in the Control Panel.
After thorough testing, we have added Ubuntu's latest long-term support release, Noble Numbat, to the HPVS platform. There's more about this distro in the blog.
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.
Our new High Performance Virtual Servers (HPVS) are around 5x faster than our regular Virtual Servers. This is thanks to entirely new hardware which includes AMD Ryzen 9 CPUs, NVMe storage, and a brand new virtualisation platform. From today you can choose plans from 1 to 30 cores and start spinning up your own HPVS via the Control Panel.
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...
We've added Debian Bookworm as a distribution choice for our Linux VPS, Linux VDS and Dedicated Server plans so you can get the latest Debian LTS on offer. Find more details on the blog.
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.
