Provisioning and configurations of Xen/CentOS domUs are now possible.

Also added by popular demand is the “Power User” flag which users can enable on VPS. This flag will prevent our control panel from mounting your file system and writing network configuration files at VPS boot time. For our less experienced users it is important that our control panel can automatically write these files to allow for provisioning, IP changes and various other updates/changes.

A toggle flag for power user will be available within our control panel shortly. In the mean time, customers may request a member of staff to enable the power user flag via our contact form.

Coming next by popular demand and in no particular order:

• Automated additional IP allocations
• Reverse DNS control
• OS reloads

Just a quick update to those following our developments on our VPS control panel:

We are currently working extensively on provisioning/configuration of Xen accounts. We can currently deploy Xen+Debian/Ubuntu VPS directly from our control panel. RAM/IP address additions are now also applied at reboots/power on via our control panel.

OpenVZ provisioning will be coming soon.

Ultimately this will lead to automated or quicker provision times for new customers and instant OS reloads/upgrades for new customers.

We will be changing how users can request more IP addresses. Customers will be able to apply for IP addresses via our control panel out of their existing quota (or purchase more if required) and enter justification for IP use directly into our database.

Hello. Just a short post for an update on our development of our HyperVM replacement.

Updates/Additions:

• Added complete traffic accounting for OpenVZ with history
• Secure communication channels between control panel and host nodes via lightweight, security-tight python scripts. No daemon software installed on host nodes and no ability to run dangerous commands (i.e. “command whitelist with regexp”)
• Various UI changes
• Improvements to HyperVM migration script
• Now fully integrated with our billing system. Purchased an add-on? Have it available instantly! Extra IP? No problem..
• Pending Provision list for manual fraud checking
• …and more!

No screenshot this time, sorry Folks! Check our older posts for previous screenshots.

We are getting along nicely with our HyperVM control panel replacement.

So far we have implemented

• IP Pool manager with Reverse DNS
• VPS Server manager
• OS Template manager
• VPS Account manager
• Product resources and quotas
• Migration script from HyperVM
