Introducing the Server Dashboard, Now Available with VPS & MySQL VPS Plans

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the new Server Dashboard for our VPS and MySQL VPS customers. This advanced dashboard represents a significant leap in providing actionable, data-driven insights to help you make more informed decisions about managing your servers and expanding your online presence and business.

What’s New?

The Server Dashboard brings a host of enhancements designed to boost the success and efficiency of our VPS customers:

• Enhanced Usage Metrics & Reporting: Get precise, user-friendly metrics for “RAM” and “Disk” usage on a daily, weekly, and biweekly basis. We track these metrics to notify you of critical levels in the future, and will then work with you to optimize your resource usage.  Staying within your server limits results in better site performance!
• Auto-Boost RAM Protection & Activation Alert: When your server reaches its RAM capacity, you will now see “Auto Boost Active” turned on in the Server Dashboard. Auto Boost is a new feature that will temporarily assign additional memory resources to your server to maintain optimal system performance, giving you a chance to optimize (or upgrade) your server as needed.
• Full Integration of Proxy Server Management: We have fully integrated proxy server management controls into the Dashboard to enhance this essential VPS-specific feature. Tools for managing NGINX and mail servers are now more accessible than ever.
• Operating System Display: The Dashboard now displays information about your VPS’ operating system, making it easier for you to manage system-specific features and updates.
• Simplified Management for Websites and Users: Transitioning from a Shared hosting plan to a VPS has never been smoother. Our Dashboard now shows the number of websites linked to each VPS and provides a direct link to a “Manage Websites” view filtered for those sites. New search and filtering tools make it easier to manage multiple servers and quickly locate the one you need.
• Enhanced Deletion Management Process: You can now select a specific machine to downgrade or opt out of migration entirely, giving you more control over your server management.

Why This Matters

The new Server Dashboard is more than just a tool; it’s your gateway to maximizing the potential of your VPS services at DreamHost. With these enhancements, managing your servers becomes a clearer, more efficient, and ultimately more powerful process.
