SYSTEM UPDATES
In our quest to ensure that our platform – OrderBox, is PCI-compliant, we’ve put down a list of activities which have already been carried out at our end and developments that you can expect from us in the near future. Please read on to learn more.
- Migration of VPS Virtuozzo cPanel Orders: VPS Virtuozzo packages under our Resellers’ customers’ accounts were migrated to Linux KVM VPS on Monday, February 26, 2018. Read more.
- New API Endpoint – Domain Check Availability: We deprecated http[s]://httpapi.com (say Endpoint_A) and http[s]://test.httpapi.com (say Endpoint_B) for Domain Lookup API calls and replaced them with https://domaincheck.httpapi.com (New API Endpoint). If this change has not been incorporated at your end, you/your resellers might face issues with the existing API call. Read more.
- Deprecation of Virtuozzo based VPS: With the launch of Linux KVM VPS, we deprecated our Virtuozzo based VPS in January. Read more.
- Meltdown and Spectre: Spectre and Meltdown, the flaws found in a number of processors from Intel, ARM, and AMD that could allow hackers to access passwords, encryption keys and other private information from open applications. We suggested our partners keep an eye on any updates their devices offer and follow our advice on how to protect those against these CPU security flaws. Read more.
EVENTS
With some of the major industry events taking place consecutively in the first quarter every year, our team members were busy juggling flights, client meetings, and everything in between. While we attended ICANN61 in Puerto Rico, we were official sponsors at NamesCon Global and CloudFest 2018. Do you want to see what we did there? Check this out!
That’s all that happened in the first quarter of 2018. As for the next quarter, we have a few really exciting updates for you which we will announce when it’s time. If you have any feedback about the contents of this edition or if you would like to hear more, do feel free to let us know by posting your comments below.
