The roadmap describes direction, not commitments — items ship when they meet our quality bar.
SSH/SFTP access to your site can now be enabled for a window you choose — an hour, a day, a week, or until you turn it off — and switches itself off when the time is up. For quick sessions without key setup there's a temporary password login: one hour by default, 24 hours with an explicit risk acknowledgment, revoked automatically at expiry.
The platform now has a public status page with live component health and uptime history measured every five minutes, and a security page documenting our infrastructure, encryption and account-security posture — including what we don't have yet.
Behind the scenes, every site backup and the platform databases are now replicated nightly to storage in a second region, physically separate from the servers that run customer sites.
AI assistants can now operate your hosting directly: a built-in MCP server with OAuth sign-in lets tools like Claude check site health, read logs, manage DNS and deploy on your behalf — anything that spends money or deletes data always hands back to you. The same capabilities are available over a documented REST API with scoped tokens, plus live log streaming and monthly traffic figures in the dashboard.
Deploying from GitHub is now a two-click flow: connect the veldhost GitHub App, pick a repository (private ones included), and every push deploys with history and one-click rollback. Upload limits were also raised fleet-wide to 64 MB for file and media uploads.
Every site now ships with opcode caching, an in-memory object cache (wired automatically into WordPress), long-lived asset caching, and a short page micro-cache for WordPress front pages. No configuration needed — existing sites were upgraded in place.
Domains are now registered under their real owner's verified contact details, with email confirmation, EU VAT validation for businesses and identity verification for individuals — meeting registry requirements and making sure your domain is legally yours.
Transfer a domain in with just its auth code — pre-checks, payment and progress tracking included — and transfer out whenever you want: unlocking and revealing the auth code is self-service, always. DNSSEC signing on our EU nameservers is now self-service too.
A big safety release: one-click restore from daily backups (a full production-site restore completes in under a minute), private staging copies of your site, per-site team members with their own logins, scheduled tasks, deploy history with rollback, and a free assisted migration service for moving existing sites over.
The platform moves to its permanent home: veldhost.eu, with the dashboard at manage.veldhost.eu and our own European nameservers at ns1/ns2.veldhost.eu. One brand, one promise — your site, looked after, with data in the EU.
