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 make 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).
We've added support for creating, deleting and modifying NS records from the DNS Zones tab in the Control Panel. This lets you delegate subdomains to another provider (as is often required by managed email platforms) without leaving the DNS Zones tab.
If you're placing an order on our website and prompted to create an account or log in to the Control Panel, we'll now remember what you want and keep it selected for you after logging in.
We've become auDA accredited, meaning we can register .au domains for you without having to go through a reseller. Any .au domains registered by us before the end of 2025 will now show Webslice as the registrar. Read about our auDA accreditation in the blog.
