Changelog

New experience: Billing page
We have started to make improvements to the Billing page of the New Maxihost Experience.
Instead of being directed to the billing portal, when going to Settings & Members -> Billing you are now able to see and update your payment methods and your account invoices.
Tokyo now available for Custom Deployments

New experience: Introducing Deploy Configs
You can now save the configuration of the server when reinstalling it.
Deploy configs allows you to know exactly how a new reinstall will execute based on pre-selected configurations of a server. This makes sure that even if you have multiple team members, they know how a server should be reinstalled when they have to do it.
This is the initial feature on a series of planned improvements for reinstalls and deployments. In the future, you will be able to track how a server was previously deployed and save a deploy config as a template, so it can be used for new server deployments and reinstalls across your fleet.
Customers on the new Maxihost experience can start using this today.

Calculate your bandwidth costs with different cloud providers π€
It's not uncommon to run a couple of workloads on a traditional cloud provider only to get a massive invoice at the end of the month. It is frustrating to find out after you get locked in with them that you will be paying a lot more than anticipated.
One of the most impactful costs in your cloud bill is egress bandwidth β or how much traffic went out of your servers and into the internet β so we built an interactive chart to help you better calculate your bandwidth costs with different vendors.
Cloud-init on steroids! Extend your custom scripts with variables π©πΎβπ»
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 β

A new dashboard is coming! Join the Beta today
We are building a new dashboard experience from the ground up to better help you manage and understand your infrastructure.

Better API keys management π
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.

To get started, sign up for an account with Mist.io and add your Maxihost credentials from the Clouds page.
