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.
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.
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'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.
We've added a quick way to visualise your Cloud Container server's disk allocation in the Control Panel. Disk Usage Breakdown shows how much of your server disk space is used by files, docker images and databases.
Another boost to the Control Panel's performance, as well as security improvements and plenty of bug fixes.
We've made some tweaks to improve the ABN/ACN validation process since we became an auDA accredited registrar, making .au domain registrations more painless.
We've enforced two-factor authentication on all accounts. If 2FA wasn't already enabled, you'll now be emailed a login confirmation code. Once you’re logged in you can upgrade to using an authenticator app instead. Account admins can control authentication frequency (from every login to monthly). See how to manage 2FA in the Knowledge Base, and read why we’ve made this change in the blog (TL;DR: too much phishing).
