Portable backups, and a platform that runs itself
The biggest release yet for control and reliability: move a full backup onto any site with Snapshots, steer traffic with dashboard-managed Redirects, tune how long pages stay cached, and let real server-side cron keep every site's scheduled jobs running on time - visitors or not. Add temporary phpMyAdmin access, and more accurate site and storage counts, plus a round of reset, accuracy, and reliability fixes under the hood.
- Fixed
Site reset for empty environments - resetting a site that was provisioned as an empty environment (e.g. for migrations) failed before completing. Resets now finish cleanly and install a fresh WordPress, no matter how the site was originally created.
- Improved
Resets restore default PHP settings - resetting a site now also returns its PHP configuration to platform defaults, including extension toggles like ionCube Loader and SOAP. A reset site is now truly a clean slate.
- Fixed
Accurate storage usage - some sites' disk usage included internal platform files that didn't belong to them, over-reporting usage by up to ~200 MB. Storage accounting now counts only your site's actual files.
- New
Temporary phpMyAdmin access - open phpMyAdmin for any site straight from the database page. A private instance spins up on your site's own domain in seconds, stays online for 2 hours, and removes itself automatically. Sign in with your database credentials — the link alone grants nothing.
- New
Redirects - point old paths to new destinations for any site, straight from the dashboard. Pick the right status code (301, 302, 307, 308), use regex capture groups to move whole sections in one rule (/old-blog/(.*) → /blog/$1), toggle rules on and off, and bring in big lists at once with CSV bulk import. Rules run at the web-server level — no plugin, no PHP overhead — and every change is validated before it goes live, so a broken rule can never take your site down.
- New
Page cache expiration control - choose how long cached pages stay fresh, from 1 hour to 1 year, right from the caching page. Pick longer for stable sites, shorter for frequently-updated content. Changing the expiration safely flushes the existing cache so the new setting applies immediately — and like every server-level change we ship, it's validated before going live.
- New
Reliable scheduled tasks for every site - WordPress normally runs its background jobs only when someone visits your site, so quiet or heavily-cached sites could miss plugin auto-updates, scheduled posts, and cleanup routines. Every site now gets real server-side cron: due tasks run automatically every 5 minutes, whether your site had a single visitor or none. Scheduled posts publish on time, security updates install themselves, and your site stays tidy — no setup needed on your side.
- Improved
Background tasks run on time, every time - scheduled posts, plugin auto-updates, and WordPress maintenance jobs no longer depend on site traffic. The platform now triggers them server-side every 5 minutes for every site — set a post for 9:00, it publishes at 9:00.
- New
Accurate site & storage usage counts - Your dashboard now shows the correct number of sites used and storage consumed against your plan.
- New
Snapshots - restore any backup onto another site - your full backups now live in one place: a new Snapshots page lists every backup across all your sites, and you can restore any of them onto a different site in a couple of clicks — ideal for cloning a site, rolling out a tested setup, or recovering content somewhere new. Before anything is overwritten the target site is safety-backed-up automatically so you can always roll back, and you get an email the moment the restore finishes. You can also name snapshots when you create them, rename them later, and delete the ones you no longer need.
- New
Site analytics - a new Analytics page charts your site's resource usage — web, PHP, and database — over time, with one-click ranges from the last hour to the last 30 days. Spot a traffic spike, see what's drawing resources, and understand your site's load at a glance.
- Improved
Restore snapshots across locations - Snapshots can now restore a backup onto another site even when the two sites are hosted in different locations. Before, both sites had to be in the same location; now you can clone, roll out a tested setup, or recover content anywhere in your account. As always, the target site is safety-backed-up first so you can roll back, and you're emailed the moment the restore finishes.
- Improved
A fresh new look - we've rolled out a redesigned dashboard with a cleaner layout, refreshed branding, and a new logo — consistent across every page, from sign-in and onboarding through to your sites. Same workflows, easier on the eyes.
- Fixed
Admin links always redirect to HTTPS - visiting an admin URL without a trailing slash (e.g.
/wp-admin) now reliably redirects to the secure https version every time, including on sites using a custom domain. Previously some of these links could land without redirecting. - New
Clone a site in one click - Make a complete copy of any site — files, database, themes, and plugins — into a new site in one step. Choose the copy's name, domain, region, PHP, and storage; URLs are rewritten for you so it's ready to go immediately. Perfect for staging copies and safe testing.
