It’s been a week – so time for another update from HostBill team!
Lets take a glimpse of today-released, all new, HostBill 3.1.4:

Further OnApp improvements

Our already great integration with OnApp Cloud just got better! Your clients will now have access to the new backup-related features, including:

Backup->Template conversion
If you offer cloud/vps backup space, you can now add them the ability to convert their backups into re-usable OS Templates from HostBill interface with just few mouse clicks – simple as that!

Backup Schedule
If you enable Schedules in related OnApp user roles your clients will see new option in their client area interface – Schedule Backup. With this option your customers will be able to manage their automated backup schedules, allowing them to create daily/weekly/monthly/yearly backups.

New ticket department permissions

Now you can use additional settings in your Ticket departments including:
– Allowing staff member to reply using email
– Prevent customers from closing a ticket opened by staff member
– Prevent customers from re-opening a ticket closed by staff member

Of course there is lot more in the new version. For full list of changes/fixes go to hostbillapp.com/changelog/

I’d like to take the opportunity and wish our valued customers and friends Happy Holidays and a New Year from HostBill team. It’s been an amazing year for us, full of great integrations, major HostBill improvements and number of great new customers to work with.
See you in 2012!

Dear Clients!
HostBill 2.x security patch.
Last night one of our clients notified us about potential security threat affecting HostBill versions 2.x, which may allow to access admin area with previously stolen session cookie.

Please download this patch as soon as possible: https://hostbillapp.com/clientarea/index.php?cmd=module&module=downloads&file=11
To apply patch please extract archive contents in your HostBill directory, or upload its contents directly to your install (there is only one file that requires overwriting).

We’re not aware of any installation compromised other than reported last night.
If you have questions or any concerns please feel free to contact us. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

Note: 2.8 version download package contains this patch by default from now on, 2.9 version that is scheduled to release next week will also contain it.

Full OnApp 2.1RC4 module hotfix

By krisp

in Annoucements, Modules

HostBill users recently reported issue with OnApp 2.1RC4 module.

Problem:
When creating billing plan using API it’s not possible to create machine as a client, as OnApp throws HTTP500 + bad response error.

Solution:
We’ve created patch for OnApp Full-Featured module 2.1. To apply it please download your copy of module again from our client area, and extract archive contents in main HostBill directory.

Patch drawbacks:
This patch hard-codes clients’ cpu-shares to unlimited (it’s not setting cpu-shares limit in OnApp), and for new machines created from HostBill client area it sets cpu-share to 1, despite of slider settings.

Please note:
This is temporary patch, once OnApp will fix this bug with next RC/Stable version we will upload regular version of module with working CPU-Shares limit.

Coming soon: Dedicated Server & VPS Order Pages!
