vClient DNS / Zone Config updated

We've just released a new minor enhancement for the portal that brings over our zoneconfig.com DNS UI and brings the DNS tool in line with our last major release.

This is a significant improvement to the UI and makes the tool much more intuitive. All existing zones/functionality continue to work with this update.

A few other minor enhancements and bug-fixes have been rolled into this release as well. We're hard at work here and have some exiting announcements geared up for the new year. As always, let us know your feedback and stay tuned...

Thanks,

cPanel VPS hosting - appliance updated

Our cPanel VPS appliance has been updated. It now runs VPS optimized (version 2) by default, and has some enhancements recommended by cPanel that we use during the install process.

To install cPanel using our service, simply select "Appliances" from the provisioning tab and select WHM/cPanel. Give your server its hostname and other details and you're off.

Minor vClient enhancement dot release

As with every major upgrade there are a few bugs that crop up or things that just barely missed making the final build. Today we've released a minor dot release with some enhancements to the vClient.

Some of the enhancements & fixes include:

Billing:

  • Submit a one-time payment via your card on file before its next automatic billing attempt.
  • One less step for one-time paypal checkouts.

Management:

  • Reset password confirmation emails on password reset.
  • Ability to change your server name/hostname for display purposes (won't modify your actual servers config, just updates vClient.)
  • Ability to modify/update your servers description.

Support

  • Integrated our support/kb tool with the vClient so that you can view/respond to tickets directly from the vClient.


We're already on a new branch that includes updates to our DNS Tool and other requested enhancements, but wanted to get GA these for you asap.

Thanks,
the Host Virtual Team
