A new vapourhost.com, and the blog is back
VapourHost Team 2 min read
If vapourhost.com looks different lately, that’s because it is. We rebuilt the website from the ground up this autumn, and the goal was simple: make it quicker to find the right plan and get online.
Here’s what changed.
Search for a domain and build your order right here
You can now search for a domain and put your whole order together on the website: pick a domain, choose a hosting plan and review everything in one cart before you check out in the client area. Already own a domain? Enter it in the cart, and your hosting plan will use it.
Prices in rupees or dollars
Every price on the site switches between INR and USD with one click, and the site remembers your choice the next time you visit.
Clearer plan pages
Each shared hosting tier now has its own page: Basic, Primary and Power. If you’d rather see everything at once, the web hosting page compares all six plans side by side. Not sure which tier fits? We wrote a short guide to choosing.
Cloud servers, two ways
Some projects outgrow shared hosting, so the new site has a proper home for both of our cloud options:
- Cloud VPS is unmanaged or semi-managed, with full root access. We look after the hardware, network and virtualisation; you run the server.
- LoadServe uses the same server sizes, fully managed. It comes with a control panel, every website isolated, automatic backups and SSL, and our engineers handling patching, security and monitoring.
Up-to-date policies
Our legal pages moved across too, and we brought the Acceptable Use Policy and the Refund Policy up to date.
The blog is back
The blog has moved into the new site as well. We brought our posts across to their original addresses, from our very first post in March 2017 to the 2023 price update. Older posts carry a small “From our archive” note, because plans and prices have moved on since they were written.
From here on we’ll use the blog for announcements, plan changes and practical guides. You can follow along with our RSS feed.
