Custom scripts help you run arbitrary commands on your server on its very first boot. With variables, you can extend these commands to use data that is not yet available when a deployment is requested.

For instance, you could write a custom script to send the hostname, IP and password of your recently deployed server to a Slack channel, or add it to your Ansible inventory, or both!

Custom scripts variables are incredibly helpful to make initial changes to your servers or making sure they check-in to your infrastructure automatically.

Available variables and an example of how it can be used can be found on the Help Center →

We are building a new dashboard experience from the ground up to better help you manage and understand your infrastructure. The new experience is a lot faster and includes some much-requested new features, such as the ability to have multiple accounts. We also think you will love the design we carefully put together for you.

All Maxihost customers can expect to see the updated dashboard over the next few months, but you can sign up for the beta right now and gain access to the new experience in only a couple of weeks.

All you have to do is fill out the form, and we will let you know as soon as the beta is available for testing. Everyone is welcome, customer or not.

We are drastically improving the way API keys are managed from the dashboard.

Starting today you can create multiple API keys for your account, give them a name and see when they were created and last used. These API keys can also be revoked, streamlining the process of rolling your keys when you need to.
