πŸ”Œ API

Getting and using your API key

You can find your API key in your account settings area, we have chosen to make the API simple and easy so all you need to do is call the API urls with your key in the url variable key. This API key will have full access so keep it safe.

Free SMTP Transactional mail senders

With a change in how we handle mail sending and using a transactional service over SMTP to do all mail sending for better deliverability we wanted to list a few free options that provide lots of emails at no cost.
πŸ“˜ Panel

Do you have a deadline for the old panel and servers?

We are doing this in batches. Starting at the beginning of November we will be alerting users on specific Nodes to move any sites before the end of that month. If your site is not included in the shutdown each month you can still move it starting today.
πŸͺ§ Questions

Can you migrate me to the new panel?

Unfortunately we are unable to automatically migrate users and sites to the new panel. The incompatible data structure requires a manual process, which our small team is unable to do for each migration. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
πŸͺ§ Questions

Why a new panel?

Not only are we rolling out a new panel for our customers, but we are also introducing new servers, backend systems, and processes to improve the overall hosting experience for everyone. As our company has grown over the years, we have recognized the need to upgrade our technology stack to better serve our customers.
πŸͺ§ Questions

Merge my email login and Hey.CafΓ© login

At this time we don't have a method to do this, both login types use a different setup and has a different use structure. You can however move your resources between one account and the other by opening a container and clicking Transfer.
πŸ“˜ Panel

I logged in and can't see my sites

The first question is what method did you use to login? You can have both a Hey.CafΓ© account and an email account on NodeHost, so if you maybe used the other method logout and login the other way.

Sharing account access

We have tried to make sharing really simple, and we are using the same system as container sharing using Tokens. To share your account to someone else you just need to visit settings and tap on Tokens to get started. You can also revoke Tokens from this menu.
πŸ“˜ Panel

NodeHost IMAP and SMTP details

Unlike in the past our new panel does not provide mail sending services, but we do offer a mail inbox system that you can pair with a SMTP Relay service like ImprovMX to send your emails. We have a guide for that setup but once done you might be wondering how to setup your mail client.

Setting up SMTP relay with Brevo to send emails

Just like other providers you can use Brevo (used to be called sendinblue) to be your SMTP relay sender. To do this create an account on Brevo. You only need to do the free option as it allows 300 emails per day. Once you create the account you will need to go to the settings area on the top right and click on the option Senders & IP to setup your domain. Follow the steps they show you.

Setting up SMTP relay with ImprovMX to send emails

Here is some info on how to use ImprovMX as a email sender for your domain on NodeHost. Since we don’t send emails using ImprovMX as a SMTP Relay also allows for easy domain forwarding and changes down the road. With a cost of $9 for 100 domains ImprovMX is an amazing service for mail.

Setting up external DNS

Although many hosts provide a DNS service (we do also) It's actually better to point your DNS records from your domain provider's built in DNS to the IP for the server as it requires less lookup time and can be more stable. You can find the IP your container is on from the domain area.

Transfer your old panel account balance

You can now move your balance and close your old account. If your old panel account has no containers you can visit your settings on the new panel and click the button that says [Close Old Account].
πŸ“˜ Panel

Old panel migration

At this time migration is only done manually, so it’s a case of setting up a new container on the new account and then copying files over via SFTP and setting up the database if it’s say Wordpress.
