NEW FEATURES IN SERVERAVATAR V7.13

1. Instantly Purchase and Deploy Managed Servers from ServerAvatar

With Managed Server, you can instantly purchase and deploy a server from DigitalOcean and Vultr directly through the ServerAvatar panel. 

Server Credits are a new credits in your wallet specifically for purchasing servers through ServerAvatar. You can use these credits to buy a server quickly and easily from within the panel.

The servers are billed on an hourly basis, so you only pay for the time and resources you actually use. This makes it a cost-effective solution for projects and businesses that scale over time.

During the purchase process, you can select your preferred technology stack based on your project requirements. The available stack options include Apache Stack, NGINX Stack, Openlitespeed Stack, and the MERN Stack (which consists of MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js). Along with the chosen stack, you can also select your preferred database from MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB. This flexibility allows you to customize your hosting environment to best suit your application’s needs.

As your server needs evolve, you can resize the server at any time. Whether you want to upgrade resources like CPU, RAM, or storage, the platform provides full flexibility.

2. Root Access Control

Now you can grant root access to any system or application user with a single click from Application user tab. If needed, you can also disable root access just as easily—no complex configurations required.

This feature gives you precise control over system permissions, allowing you to manage user access securely and efficiently. Whether you’re onboarding a new developer, managing application users, or tightening server security, you can make access changes instantly through the ServerAvatar panel.

3. Smart Framework-Based Setup

When you select a framework, the system automatically provides a tailored tech stack and configuration suggestions that match your selection. Whether you’re working with Laravel, Node.js, or another modern framework, you get everything configured to suit your project needs, without manual guesswork.

4. Latest Joomla & PrestaShop Installer

When you create a new Joomla or PrestaShop application, the system automatically deploys the latest and most secure version with just one click. You don’t need to manually download or install latest version.

5. Instant Framework Updates

You can instantly update frameworks like Mautic, Moodle, Statamic, and Uptime Kuma directly from the Application Settings. Node-RED can also be updated seamlessly from the Server Settings. No need to perform manual upgrades or deal with complex command-line operations—the update process is fully automated and integrated into the platform. Maintain the latest features and security enhancements across all supported applications with just a few clicks.

6. Toggle Log Monitoring Per App

You can now enable or disable log monitoring for each application directly from the Application settings. This gives you more control over which apps generate logs and when.

If you have any testing, demo, or non-critical sites where log data isn’t essential at the moment, you can choose to disable log monitoring for those. This helps reduce unnecessary log clutter and improves overall monitoring efficiency.

Please note: Once you disable log monitoring for an application, new logs and data will no longer be collected or displayed. You will still be able to access historical logs and data generated before log monitoring was disabled, but no new log entries will be captured until monitoring is re-enabled.

7. One-Click Craft CMS Deployment 

Deploying a powerful and flexible content management system has never been easier. With the new one click Craft CMS deployment feature, you can instantly launch Craft CMS directly from the App Installation panel—no technical setup, command line access, or manual configuration required.

Within seconds, you’ll have a fully operational instance of Craft CMS running on your server, pre-configured for optimal performance and security.

8. Real-Time Server Alerts

Stay informed with real-time alerts for server load, disk usage, memory consumption and many more. The system continuously monitors your servers and instantly sends alerts via email and your integrated notification channels (like Slack, Discord, Telegram). This way, you don’t have to check your email every time—just stay updated directly through your preferred notification platform

9. Supercharged Global Search

The global search lets you quickly find what you need across your entire infrastructure, without having to dig through different panels. Simply search using key details from any of the following categories:

• Servers: Easily search for your servers by their name, IP address, web server type, or the provider name.

UI/UX Updates

One of the major highlights of this update is the introduction of a brand-new credit system called Server Credit. Previously, users could only use Management Credit to purchase services, plans, and add-ons within ServerAvatar.

Server Credit is specifically designed for purchasing and managing your servers. This means you can now keep your server spending distinct from your other service-related purchases in ServerAvatar, giving you better transparency and control. Alongside this, the existing Management Credit remains unchanged and continues to be used for services, plans, and add-ons offered by ServerAvatar.

To make it easier to track and manage your credits, we’ve also updated the Wallet section on your dashboard. You can now view both Management Credit and Server Credit balances directly from the header.

we’ve introduced two separate summaries to help you analyze your expenses more effectively. The Management Summary displays all transactions made using Management Credit, such as add-ons or plan upgrades purchased from ServerAvatar. The Server Summary, on the other hand, provides a breakdown of all purchases made using Server Credit, including detailed monthly and yearly spend insights.

You can now purchase and deploy a server instantly, with everything configured automatically—no tab switching, no manual setup. Just select what you need, and it’s ready to go. Managed Server Credits make the process even smoother and more cost-effective.
