konsoleH™, Hetzner's proprietary control panel, has evolved to enhance its user-friendliness with added functionality.
konsoleH™, Hetzner's proprietary control panel, has evolved to enhance its user-friendliness with added functionality. Below are a few of the changes you'll notice when visiting the updated konsoleH™ for the first time:
- No more "Options" column: We have relocated all add-on options to the left hand menu making for a more intuitive user experience. Look under the Manage Services menu item for a full list of add-on services available for your domain, hosting package and server.
- Search by Status: In addition to 'Active', 'Inactive, and 'Transfers', we have incorporated three new status options in our search filter. You can search for orders that are still 'processing' and services that have been 'locked by Hetzner' or 'locked by Client' (Profile Owner). The status of each service is easily identified by the associated icon.
- Order process clean-up: Our new, improved Online Order Process is more intuitive and easier to navigate. With the combination of a new design that is easier on the eye, a 'Back' button allowing you to make changes at any previous step and clearer instructions to follow, ordering a new hosting service has never been easier. Our TruServ™ customers can now also order domains using the 'New Order' process.
- Ordering of sub-domains: Previously referred to as vanity domains, sub-domains can be ordered via the 'New Order' online order process. Simply select the sub-domain option under step 2 (Domain Selection) and enter the sub-domain name of your choice.
- Domain Transfer tool: Our Domain Transfer tool is now available for use with all Hetzner TLD's. Simply order the domain you wish to transfer through the online order process and use the Domain Transfer Manager (DTM) tool to initiate and monitor the transfer process.
- New TLD's available: We have added a few more TLDs to the family – .mobi, .co, .cc and .tv are now available to order through the 'New Order' process.
Having listened to your feedback we recently added the following tools to konsoleH™, giving you more of what you want:
- Track your mail with Maillog: If you need to check the status of an email sent to or from your email client, view and search through your mail logs using the new Mail log tool. The dynamic search field allows you to refine your search similar to that of a Google Search Engine, making it easier and simpler to find the exact mail log you're looking for.
- Restore backups with ease: Our new Restore Backup tool allows you to restore web folders and files from your recent backups. No contact centre assistance required.
- Recovery tools for TruServ™ servers: TruServ™ customers are now able to troubleshoot, install Linux Operating Systems and reboot their server at any time via konsoleH™ with the Rescue System and VNC Installation. If you've locked yourself out of your server you can use the Wake-On-LAN tool to send a switch-on signal to your server.
You can access konsoleH™ as before (https://myaccount.hetzner.co.za) or simply visit http://www.hetzner.co.za.
Enjoy the konsoleH™ experience! For those customers that have already provided us with valuable feedback, we are happy to inform you that some of your suggestions have already been implemented. We remain committed to transparent, sustainable business practices, providing you with a hosting experience you can trust.
