New Feature: Manage SSH Access (BETA)

With our recent changes to allow SSH access, some of you were a little concerned about having to open a ticket every time you wanted to activate SSH on a new account, or open a new ticket if your IP address changed. Whilst we did provide workarounds for those with dynamic IP addresses, it wasn’t an ideal solution. Cue our new feature; the ability to manage SSH access from directly within your client area!

As of today, all new accounts are provided with SSH access “On” by default. To counter the firewall issues, we’ve built a management panel into the client area which allows you to specify an IP address to be used to access that SSH account. Simply enter the IP address, click “Add” and within 10 minutes that IP address will be good to go. This is now a 100% completely automated process.

This feature is currently in BETA, so if you notice any bugs, errors or have any potential feedback for improvement – please let us know.

    @DM: Remote MySQL access is definitely something we’ll be adding in the near future.

    I’m glad you’re working on SSH access. It’s important and I won’t even consider a host without it. I might have to check out your service soon.

    in Regards to MySQL remote, when you say “near future” what do you mean?

    Also one more thing, why not add a subscribe to comments option on your blog’s comments. So much nicer that way. :)

    Near future means…. the near future :) I don’t have an ETA I’m afraid, but it’s not a high priority right now due to the relatively low demand for it. If I had to give an approximation I’d say a few weeks.

    I’ll see what I can do about the comments thing ;)
