Performance improvements for accounts with a large number of servers
Accounts with large number of servers began to experience performance issues after we introduced a feature that shows the server's Operating System in the API and dashboard.
We've released an update that not only fixes this problem, but improves the performance of server listing for everyone.
From 5TB to 20TB of free inbound transfer
Starting today all new servers created with Maxihost will come with 20TB of free outbound transfer, four times more than before. Current servers will be updated to reflect the upgraded traffic in the coming weeks.
New endpoint - POST /users
Devices update - operating system
/devices now returns the operating system
/devices/:id now returns the operating system
See the progress of your deployments in real-time
It’s good to know that your Bare Metal is being deployed instantly after you requested it, but it’s much better when you know what’s happening during that process. Starting today, you can!
Servers are now indexed in real-time ⏰
The global search now index servers in real-time. When you deploy a new server or edit its information, these changes will be available in the search bar instantly.
This fixes issues where customers couldn't search for servers that were recently updated.
Changes to GET /plans and POST /devices
Ahead of the launch of new regions, the GET /plans endpoint now returns available regions for each server. Also, POST /devices now accepts new facility parameters.
New power management endpoint so you can turn on, off and power cycle your servers
We've created a new resource so you can do power management via the API. Through the endpoint `/devices/:id/actions` you can turn on, off, and power cycle a server.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS now available
In case you hadn't noticed, we now offer Ubuntu 18.04 on all server types. Have an idea for an OS we still don't have? Let us know.
🆕 Announcing Type 3 with new E-2176G processor and 29% price reduction.
We've upgraded the Type 3 server to the brand new Intel E-2176G processor. This processor has a higher clock than its predecessor (3.7GHz vs 2.4GHz), while still maintaining the same number of cores. That's a lot more power for your workloads. In addition to this, we've reduced the price by 29%. Deploy a Type 3
Power management has been moved to Overview 🔌
The option for turning on, off and rebooting servers has been moved to the Overview tab. Now you have faster access to that option when you want to do a simple reboot.
Simplifying day-to-day operations with a new design 🎨
Today we're launching a new design for Maxihost. A project that re-built a large part of the codebase in an effort to simplify the day-to-day management of your servers.
The new design not only updates colors but also allows for a better experience with changes to navigation and content placement.
Here are the most important changes:
20% speed improvement across the board
Cleaner and lighter layout
Navigation changed to the side, allow for more options to be shown
Submenu IP Addresses has been moved to its own menu and is now called Networking
Pagination update - limit=0
Toggle pagination off with limit=0

Use your SSH Keys when reinstalling your servers 🔑
Just like when creating a new server, now on the Reinstall page you can use your SSH keys. Learn how SSH works or see how you can add your keys.
Announcing the Maxihost API
The API gives you everything that you need to integrate your applications with Maxihost.
With it, you can deploy servers, check your bandwidth usage, manage your account, and more, all via code. Read the announcement or get started now.
Deploy more secure servers with SSH Keys 🔐
You can now add your SSH keys and use them to create servers. Creating a server with one or more SSH keys disables password access and ensures a safer server.
Add your key on the Security page, or see our docs to learn more.
Scheduled Maintenances and Incidents are now shown in Control
Now when you access Control you'll see if there are any incidents or scheduled maintenances open on Status.
You can hide these notifications, and they'll only be shown again when they're updated.
Settings menu is now called Account
The Settings menu is now called Account in order to provide better context of the preferences available in that option.
An easier way to view and request new IPs
Now you have a specific page to view the IPs added to your account. It's now easier to understand the IP addresses on your different devices.
Automatic grouping of IPs per device
Request new IPs quickly
