Manage is the veldhost control panel: one place for your sites, domains, email, data and team. This page walks through what you see and what each part is for, with a link to the docs for each.
The sidebar only shows what applies to you. Some items appear once you have something to put in them, and some depend on your role. If you miss something described here, that is usually why.
Home
Home is your account at a glance:
- New site (top right) starts a new site.
- Once you have sites, three figures sit at the top: Uptime 30d, Deploys · 7 days and Next renewal. Each one links to the list behind it.
- Get set up walks a new site through its first steps, one at a time, with a button for the next one.
- Sites lists your first few sites and their status; All sites opens the full list.
- Add to your account suggests products and add-ons you don't have yet.
The column on the right holds what needs your attention:
- Needs you: things waiting on you, each naming the site and the fix (for example a site that is not responding, a release waiting for your OK, or a WordPress plugin with a known vulnerability).
- Renewals: domains coming up for renewal, and whether each renews automatically.
- Account activity: recent backups, domain, team and account changes. All opens the full Activity page.
- Plan: your plan, how many sites and mailboxes it holds, and Change plan if you may change it.
The sidebar
Hosting
- Sites: every site, with its own tabs for deploys, databases, domains, logs, analytics, backups and staging, configuration and settings. Start at Sites, Deploys and Backups & staging.
- Migrations: shown while we move a site to veldhost for you. See Migrations.
- Email: your mail domains and mailboxes. It appears once you have email or the Email plan. See Email.
- Domains: the domains on your account and their DNS zones. See Domains and DNS.
- Monitoring: uptime, incidents, and the Activity page with what happened on your sites and account. See Monitoring & status.
Data
Databases, the warehouse, jobs, pipelines and dashboards. Until your plan includes data or your account has data work, this is a single Data item with an overview of what the data platform does. Once it has, you see Overview, Databases, Jobs & Pipelines, Runs and Dashboards. See Data platform.
AI agents
AI agents shows the assistants you have connected and how to connect one, such as Claude or ChatGPT. Owners and billing members also see Orders there once an assistant has proposed one. See AI agents.
Settings
One item for everything you set once and then leave alone. Its tabs:
- Profile: your name, language and which emails we send you.
- Security: your password, two-factor sign-in and passkeys, the devices you are signed in on, and connected apps (Team & security).
- Team: who has access and with which role.
- Developer: three pages, Git & SSH, API & MCP (tokens) and Integrations (webhooks) (API, Notifications & integrations).
- Billing and Plans: invoices, payment and your plan, for the owner and billing role (Billing & account).
- Compliance: the agreements between you and us, and their history.
- Audit log: who did what in the account, including API tokens and assistants (Audit log).
Support
Support lists how to reach us: our email address, the contact form, the platform status page and these docs. It also shows your account number and the address you are signed in with. Mention both when you write, so we can find your account straight away.
Search and go anywhere: ⌘K
Press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl+K elsewhere, or click the search field in the top bar (the magnifier on a phone). Type part of a name: the palette finds your sites, site tabs, domains, DNS zones, mail domains, databases, jobs, pipelines, dashboards, team members and portal pages, plus actions such as New site, Create API token or Invite someone. Use the arrow keys and Enter to open one, Esc to close.
It only lists what you can open, and only offers actions your role and plan allow.
The assistant
The Assistant button in the top bar (⌘J on a Mac, Alt+J elsewhere) opens a side panel where an AI assistant can look things up and do work for you, with your own permissions. It runs on your own AI provider key. See The built-in assistant.
Next to it, the sun and moon button switches between the light and dark theme.
