Codero Makes Upgrades to Online Portal

Dedicated, managed and cloud hosting provider Codero recently introduced some enhancements to its online portal including a new and improved dashboard. The Codero Server Portal v2 was designed to be a one-stop shop for customers to manage their hosting accounts and give them exclusive access to information related to all products and services.

The tool is still receiving positive feedback from customers six months after its initial release, and Codero says it continues to refine it to improve it further. Below are highlights of some of the major changes just released:

-    Improved Dashboard. The new dashboard redesign increases overall usability, design and navigation. It makes it easier to find messages, tickets, invoices and services to manage Codero accounts from a single web page. Visibility to bandwidth usage is even more immediate and a Twitter feed has been included.

-    New SMS Service Notifications. Customers can sign up with the new SMS service to receive service notifications in the event of an emergency. There are now three methods to receive emergency alerts: SMS, email or instant messenger. Customers can also follow @CODERONOC for service-related Codero messages.

-    Revamped Payment Method. Managing payment options has been streamlined for simplicity with more functionality. The functionality to edit existing payment methods and delete outdated payment information is now available.

-    DNS Management Improvements. The entire DNS Management section was rewritten to provide bulk modifications of DNS records through the online portal.   We have also extended the functionality to provide support for long data records, such as Domain Keys, and IPv6 in preparation for the IPv6 roll out at Codero.

In the coming months, Codero says it will have new functionality on the service page. The enhancement will give customers the ability to see available upgrades and downgrades to their existing packages and schedule those changes, during a maintenance window of their choice, directly from Server Portal v2.
