v 1.1.0FeatureRelease
Bare Metal Support + Tax Engine
Bare metal support added into the portal with power, console, reinstall and hardware inventory functionality. Pricing now shows tax as a dedicated line item, including in estimates.
Bare metal
Dedicated physical servers and GPU metal are now managed from the same pages you use for a VPS.
- Install
- Choose an OS, bring your own ISO, or leave the install for later and decide once the machine is yours. The install password stays readable in the portal for seven days.
- Hardware
- CPU, memory, disks and NICs are read from the rack itself, so the Hardware tab always shows what is physically in the box.
- Power
- The same controls as a VPS, plus graceful shutdown and hard power-off. Destructive actions ask for a swipe to confirm.
- Console
- A browser KVM console straight to the server’s BMC — direct video by default, with the BMC’s own Java console available when you need it.
- Reinstall
- A Reinstall tab like the VPS one. Reinstall from our image library or a custom ISO, and optionally define your own disk layout: which disks, RAID level and the partition table.
- Settings
- Rename, transfer between projects, and schedule cancellation from the server’s Settings tab.
Tax engine
Prices are now quoted with tax before you pay, everywhere a charge happens — new orders, resizes, add-ons, extra IPv4, and storage — in the portal, the CLI and the TUI alike.
- Invoices
- Tax is its own line on every invoice, with the rate that applied, instead of being folded into the total.
- Business accounts
- Add your VAT or tax ID to the billing profile. Where reverse charge or an exemption applies, it is applied automatically to every quote and invoice that follows.
CLI
Bare metal gets a full command family and TUI screens, and order vps finally takes the custom-spec flags it always advertised.
