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.
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.
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.
