Today we pushed a couple more updates to the control panel. Now, rather than creating a ticket, you can order more disk space and additional IP addresses for any of your boxes directly from the control panel. Additional disk space can be purchased for just £5 per 10GB block and IP addresses for £2.50/month (with one-off setup of £30).

We’ve also added the ability for separate billing and technical email contacts to your account in addition to the regular account holder email address (this is a stop-gap addition until we implement multiple users per account which is on our development roadmap :)

Here’s a summary of notifications and recipients:

• Order confirmation: account holder, billing contact & technical contact
• Successful or Failed payment: account holder & billing contact
• Credit card expiry notice: account holder & billing contact
• New virtual machine deployed: account holder & technical contact
• New Helpdesk request: account holder & technical contact
• Password reset: account holder
• MySQL slow query alerts: account holder & technical contact

Keep watching over the next few weeks as we announce more improvements, including remote reboots…
