We've been busy with enhancements to better support our new VPS product over the past 2 weeks. Here are the enhancements that would be the most interacted with.

System fixes and enhancements released between 10/9 and 10/22

  • API related enhancements

    • Updated the billing endpoint to accept only a 4 digit cvv for american express cards and reject the card if a 3 digit cvv is used.
    • Updated the V2 cart/item endpoint to add a GET for a single item request.
    • Updated the rate limit for the GET /api/v2/bare-metal-device endpoint to prevent unnecessary 5xx codes.

  • MyV enhancements

    • In myV, added the ability to enter a coupon code to add credits to the account for use in payment for services.
