It's been a while since our last update post — and honestly, that's on us.

We've been heads-down building, fixing, expanding, and improving just about every corner of DartNode. Writing blog posts about the work kept getting pushed aside in favor of actually doing the work, which we think most of you would agree is the right trade-off. But we've got a lot to share, so grab a coffee and let's catch you up.

What We've Shipped Since the Last Update

VDS Slices — Dedicated Power, Fractional Price

Back during Black Friday, we quietly launched one of our favorite new products: VDS Slices. The idea is simple — instead of buying an entire dedicated server, you get a slice of one at a fraction of the cost. You get the raw performance and isolation benefits of dedicated hardware without paying for resources you don't need. It's been a hit, and we're continuing to expand the offering.

Three New Locations — Kansas City, Orlando, and Los Angeles

We've been busy planting flags. Since the last update, we've opened three new Points of Presence: Kansas City, Orlando, and Los Angeles. Whether you need coverage in the Midwest, the Southeast, or the West Coast, DartNode now has you closer to your users than ever before. And yes, more locations are on the way — but we'll get to that.

Houston ↔ Kansas City Backbone Route

For customers on our Houston and Kansas City nodes, you've probably already noticed something: things feel snappier. That's because we've lit up a private backbone route between the two POPs, giving your traffic a dedicated, optimized path instead of riding the public internet between them. Latency is down, routing is cleaner, and this is just the beginning of how we're thinking about our network going forward.

What's New Right Now

A Completely Overhauled Dashboard

This is the big one. We've rebuilt the DartNode dashboard from the ground up. The new dashboard is faster, cleaner, and built to support everything we're planning to roll out this year. Think of it as the foundation for the next chapter of DartNode — all the new features, new services, and new products we're launching in 2026 will live here first.

The old dashboard will reach End of Life on June 1, 2026. If you haven't switched over yet, now's a great time to explore the new experience. We think you'll like it.

VPS Stats & Management — Rebuilt and Responsive

While we were at it, we overhauled the VPS management and stats views too. Everything loads faster, graphs are more responsive, and the overall experience is just... better. Less waiting around, more actually managing your server.

SMTP Limiting — Keeping Our IPs Clean for Everyone

We've rolled out SMTP rate limiting across all customer accounts. We know change isn't always popular, but this one is squarely in the interest of every customer on the platform. Keeping our IP reputation clean means your emails actually land in inboxes. It protects shared infrastructure for everyone, and it's the right call for the long-term health of the platform.

Support Is Like New

Support has been one of our biggest focus areas this year, and we've made some real changes here.

We brought on two new support agents specifically for overnight hours, so there's now coverage around the clock. But staffing alone wasn't enough — we also built an entirely new internal tool called Ticket Desk, which routes support tickets the way a call center routes calls. When agents are online, you should be seeing reply times under 15 minutes.

We also updated the customer-facing ticket experience. Your ticket view now updates in real time, and you can actually see when an agent has opened and is actively looking at your ticket. No more wondering if anyone's seen it.

All of this is groundwork for something we're planning to bring back: a full live chat system. We're not ready to announce a date yet, but it's coming, and when it does, it'll be built on a support infrastructure that can actually handle it properly.

What's Coming in 2026

We don't like to over-promise, but we're happy to be transparent about what we're working toward. Here's what's on the roadmap for this year:

Network: We're expanding our backbone to connect all POPs — not just Houston and Kansas City. The goal is to operate our network the way a real ISP does, so no matter where your server lives, it has access to all of our edge peers and peering relationships. More cities are also coming: Boston and Denver are both planned for 2026.

New Products:

• Instant-On Dedicated Servers — bare-metal, available immediately, no provisioning wait
• macOS Cloud — yes, really
• DartNode Gaming Products — purpose-built infrastructure for game servers
• Managed MySQL and Managed Redis — we handle the ops, you handle the app
• Private VLANs — isolated Layer 2 networking between your servers

And more that we're not ready to talk about yet.

A Word on 2025 — and Why 2026 Feels Different

We'll be honest with you: 2025 was a hard year — for us internally, and for some of our customers who felt the effects of that. Infrastructure growing pains, scaling challenges, and some support experiences that weren't up to the standard we hold ourselves to. We're not going to pretend otherwise.

But we've spent the last several months fixing the foundation, rebuilding the parts that weren't working, and building the team and tools we need to do this right. 2026 is starting from a completely different place.

The prices aren't going up. The quality is. That's the commitment.

Thanks for sticking with us — and thanks for all the feedback, the tickets, and the honest conversations that helped us figure out where to focus. The best version of DartNode is being built right now.

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible year for DartNode. This year marked the beginning of our journey, and it has been nothing short of amazing thanks to the overwhelming support we’ve received from our community.

January: The Start of Something Special

On January 15, 2024, DartNode officially launched, opening the doors to our public compute and cloud services. From the beginning, our mission has been simple yet ambitious: to provide high-quality, wholesale-level pricing for everyone. The response from the online community has been nothing short of heartwarming, and it’s this support that has fueled our rapid growth.

Growing With the Community

We began our operations in a modest half cabinet at our data center in Houston. However, the incredible demand for our services pushed us to expand quickly. Within just a few months, we added a full cabinet to accommodate the growing number of customers. By October 2024, we had outgrown even that and moved into our new private cage. This new space not only reflects how far we’ve come but also positions us to continue offering great services at competitive prices.

A Custom-Built Platform for Innovation

DartNode operates on a 100% custom-developed infrastructure and control panel. This unique foundation allows us to develop and roll out features that truly stand out in the cloud hosting industry. It’s this commitment to innovation that has enabled us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers throughout the year.

Looking Forward: New Features for 2025

As we enter 2025, we’re thrilled to announce a series of new features that will enhance the experience for all our customers:

• Power Control for Dedicated Servers: Dedicated server customers now have full power control over their bare metal servers, giving them more flexibility and autonomy.
• On-Demand IPMI: Our new IPMI Relay System allows dedicated server customers to spin up and down IPMI sessions on demand, ensuring seamless server management.
• ISO Downloads for VPS Customers: VPS customers can now download ISOs directly instead of uploading them, making the process faster and more convenient.
• Enhanced Backup Features: Backups are now available to all customers! You can manually capture up to three backups at no additional cost. For those who want more, our advanced backup subscription captures daily backups with up to 30 days of retention.
• Yearly Billing with Rewards: We’re excited to introduce yearly billing. Pre-pay for the year and receive an instant 10% cash back in account credit on DartNode.com.

Thank You for an Amazing 2024

This year has been a testament to the power of community and innovation. We couldn’t have achieved this growth without the support of our incredible customers, and we’re endlessly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us. As we move into 2025, we’re committed to continuing our mission of delivering exceptional services at unbeatable prices.

Here’s to another year of growth, innovation, and serving you better. Thank you for being a part of the DartNode journey. Let’s make 2025 even more extraordinary together!

We are thrilled to announce that the migration of all VMs to our new Proxmox-based infrastructure has been successfully completed. This upgrade marks a significant step forward in our ability to offer enhanced services and a more robust platform for our customers. We appreciate your patience throughout this process and are excited to share some new self-service features and an important update.

New Self-Service Features

As part of this migration, we have introduced two new self-service features to empower you to manage your virtual machines more effectively:

1. Legacy Snapshot Restoration: We understand how important it is to have control over your data and configurations. That's why we've made it possible for you to restore your VM from the legacy snapshot at any time. This feature allows you to reset your VM back to the exact moment before the migration. Whether you're troubleshooting or simply need to revert to a previous state, this option gives you peace of mind and flexibility.
2. Disk Resize on Demand: We've also added a feature that allows you to resize your disk if the automated disk resize fails. This ensures that even if there are any hiccups during the automated process, you have the ability to adjust your disk size as needed without delay.

Important Update: Debian Network Configuration Issue

Following the migration, we identified an issue affecting Debian-based systems related to network configuration. After extensive investigation, we discovered that the root cause was a difference in the MAC address between the old hypervisor and the new one. This discrepancy can prevent the network from configuring correctly on your VM.

Fortunately, we have a straightforward solution: by restoring from the legacy snapshot, the system will automatically reconfigure your MAC address to match the old one, allowing your network settings to apply correctly. This fix should resolve any connectivity issues you may have experienced post-migration.

Looking Ahead

The Proxmox migration is just the beginning. We’re committed to continuously improving our platform and providing you with the tools and features that make managing your services easier. Our new Network Center, accessible from your dashboard, is one such tool. It allows you to view all your IPs and manage rDNS entries for both VMs and dedicated servers. In the coming weeks, we’ll be adding even more features, including Reserved IPs and dedicated IP blocks for VM customers.

We appreciate your continued support and are excited about the new possibilities this upgrade brings. If you have any questions, encounter any issues, or need assistance with the new features, please don’t hesitate to open a support ticket. We’re here to help!

Thank you for choosing DartNode.

In the digital age, where data stands as a paramount asset for businesses, safeguarding it against threats like natural disasters, cyberattacks, and human errors is crucial. An effective backup strategy is indispensable for ensuring business continuity and data security.

Enter offsite backup storage – a practice that involves storing a duplicate of your data in a location separate from your primary server. The benefits for businesses opting for offsite backup storage are manifold:

Safeguard against data corruption or deletion due to malware or accidental mistakes. With offsite backup storage, recovery becomes possible from a secure source in the face of disasters.
2. Streamlined Compliance:
   Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001, mandating the secure storage and accessibility of data for specific periods. Steer clear of legal or financial repercussions stemming from data breaches or losses.
3. Enhanced Organization and Accessibility:
   Manage your data efficiently by storing different types in diverse locations based on your needs. Enjoy easy data access from any device or location with an internet connection, facilitating convenient and secure data sharing with employees, partners, or customers.
4. Economic, Flexible, and Scalable:
   Save on costs and resources by eliminating the need for expensive hardware, software, or maintenance. DartNode's offsite backup storage solutions offer economical plans, allowing you to tailor your backup strategy based on your business needs.

Cloud hosting is a popular and flexible option for hosting websites on the internet. It allows you to use the resources of multiple servers, rather than relying on a single one. This can improve your website’s speed, reliability, scalability, and security.

However, cloud hosting is not a magic bullet that guarantees optimal performance. You still need to take some steps to ensure that your website is running smoothly and efficiently on the cloud. In this post, we will share some tips and best practices on how to optimize your website performance with cloud hosting.

Choose the right cloud provider and plan

The first step to optimize your website performance with cloud hosting is to choose the right cloud provider and plan for your needs. There are many cloud providers available, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, [Cloudflare], and [DartNode], each with their own features, pricing, and support.

You should compare different cloud providers and plans based on factors such as:

• The location and availability of their servers
• The speed and bandwidth of their network
• The security and reliability of their infrastructure
• The scalability and flexibility of their resources
• The cost and billing model of their services
• The customer service and technical support they offer

You should also consider the specific requirements and goals of your website, such as:

• The amount and type of traffic you expect
• The size and complexity of your website content
• The level of customization and control you need
• The features and functionalities you want to implement

By choosing the right cloud provider and plan, you can ensure that your website has the necessary resources and capabilities to perform well on the cloud.

Optimize your website design and code

The next step to optimize your website performance with cloud hosting is to optimize your website design and code. This means making your website as lightweight, fast, and efficient as possible, by reducing the amount of data and requests that your website needs to load and process.

Some of the common ways to optimize your website design and code are:

• Compress and resize your images to reduce their file size and loading time
• Minify and concatenate your CSS and JavaScript files to reduce their number and size
• Use caching and CDN to store and deliver your website content faster and closer to your users
• Enable gzip compression to reduce the size of your website data
• Remove any unnecessary or unused code, plugins, or features that slow down your website
• Use lazy loading to defer the loading of non-critical content until it is needed
• Implement performance best practices such as [Core Web Vitals] and [PageSpeed Insights]

By optimizing your website design and code, you can reduce the load and stress on your cloud servers, and improve your website speed and user experience.

Monitor and test your website performance

The final step to optimize your website performance with cloud hosting is to monitor and test your website performance regularly. This means measuring and analyzing how your website is performing on the cloud, and identifying and fixing any issues or bottlenecks that affect your website performance.

Some of the tools and methods that you can use to monitor and test your website performance are:

• Use web analytics tools such as [Google Analytics] or [Matomo] to track and understand your website traffic, behavior, and conversions
• Use web performance tools such as [Google Lighthouse] or [Cloudflare Observatory] to measure and improve your website speed, accessibility, and security
• Use web load testing tools such as [LoadImpact] or [Loader.io] to simulate and measure your website performance under different load scenarios
• Use web error monitoring tools such as [Sentry] or [Rollbar] to detect and resolve any errors or bugs that affect your website functionality
• Use web feedback tools such as [Hotjar] or [UserTesting] to collect and analyze user feedback and satisfaction

By monitoring and testing your website performance, you can ensure that your website is running optimally and consistently on the cloud, and provide a better user experience for your visitors.
