Core can now back up and restore your hosting package, and you choose what goes in. October also brought wildcard SSL certificates, a welcome tour for Core and a long list of fixes.

- Back up your hosting package in Core and choose which services and items go in.
- Restore a whole backup or a single item, and choose to overwrite it or restore it under a new name.
- Backups include each website's files and the contents of your mailboxes.
- Core keeps your last 7 backups, removes older ones, and counts backups toward your disk space.
- Get one Let's Encrypt certificate for a domain and all its subdomains (a wildcard), for domains that use ASPnix DNS.
- Each site's SSL page shows whether Let's Encrypt auto-renewal is on, with a Renew now button.
- A short welcome tour the first time you sign in to Core.
- Apps from the App Gallery that rely on .htaccess rewrite rules work on our Windows servers after install.

- Expired Let's Encrypt certificates are kept and retried, and you hear from us when a renewal fails.
- Adding a domain creates a DNS zone only when you ask, and Core tells you why if a zone wasn't created.
- If you have more than one package, Core lists them all and remembers the last one you used.
- Search in the header finds logins and takes you straight to the item.
- The virtual server list shows each server's operating system, loads faster, and keeps the last known power state.
- Reboot and Shut Down still work when a virtual server stops responding.
- Removing an add-on names it in the confirmation.
- Security improvements.
Fixed , 11 changes Link to Fixed
- Adding a mailbox or forwarding on a domain alias can no longer delete the main mail domain.
- DNS: apex records can be edited, AAAA records can be deleted, and a failed edit keeps the original record.
- A domain that has mail can be deleted.
- File Manager: unzip keeps subfolders, Copy and Move can pick any folder, permissions apply as typed, and a wrong ZIP password shows a clear message.
- SSL: you can replace an existing certificate, and deleting a Let's Encrypt certificate no longer breaks HTTPS on the site.
- App Gallery: PHP apps finish installing, Bludit accepts time zones, and admin passwords can include hyphens.
- Virtual servers: new snapshots show right away and can be reverted, remote desktop sessions and the right user name show on the Access tab, and the list shows running or stopped.
- Websites: the Resource Usage page opens, and new sites get your plan's memory limit.
- Mail: Unlimited mailbox and mail domain sizes save correctly, and group and list recipient counts are right.
- Databases with an empty or duplicate name show an error, and search finds names with underscores.
- Sign Out works from every link, you can change your own password in Core, and dark mode follows Core's theme switch.
