Cloud Servers Improvements | v3.1

October 16, 2013

With our new Cloud Servers v3 product going live last week we’ve had great feedback and suggestions from customers, thanks to everyone! The more feedback we get the better we can make the product for everyone.

This week sees a 4 major updates we have made to Cloud Servers, check them out below:

 

1. Traffic Price Drops

We have dropped our traffic pricing by 50%! Down from R5 per GB to R2,50 per GB. At the time of publishing this blog post we offered the cheapest cloud per GB bandwidth pricing in the country.

 

2. Easy Console Install

Some customers were having a bit of trouble getting the required console  plugin installed. We made it simpler by adding a setup wizard explaining what is needed for each operating system and browser. Please note that console for MAC is currently still not supported by VMware, we hope to have this resolved shortly.

 

3. Fullscreen Console 

There were a couple of issues with certain resolutions when it came to viewing the console. Some vertical and horizontal scrolling was necessary :/. This has been fixed with a full screen feature so that you no longer have to work in a small window.

 

4. Recommended Resources

We had reports of some servers not running very well, this was due to running certain high resource intensive operating systems with the minimum resources selected. We now recommend the ideal minimum running requirements for each server upon server creation. We advise that nobody drop below the recommended amounts to avoid possible performance issues.

 

We still have a lot of features and improvements to make to the product. Keep checking out our blog for all the latest updates!
