Breaking Down xCloud July 2024 Release: Unveiling Exclusive Features
This month’s xCloud update brings new exciting features and a wave of improvements to enhance your server workflow and WordPress site management experience. Read on to discover the full details of our July updates.
Get Notified Anytime, Anywhere, With WhatsApp Integration
You already know that we have Slack integration with xCloud. This time, we brought WhatsApp integration that allows you to receive notifications and updates directly through WhatsApp, keeping you informed about important real-time events and changes.
Whether it is billing alerts, system updates, or other critical notifications, you can now stay connected and informed without needing to constantly check your email or dashboard. This integration enhances your WordPress hosting experience, ensuring you never miss out on essential updates and can manage your sites more efficiently. It is a step towards making xCloud more responsive and user-friendly.

Create a Staging Environment With Pull/Push Capabilities
We introduced a significant feature in July which is the staging environment with pull/push capabilities. That means you can create a copy of your live site using this feature. Now you can create a staging site and safely test the changes to the features. This allows you to check how the new changes are going to be on your live site or production site.
Pulling from the production or live site ensures you have the latest live data in your staging or testing environment while pushing from staging to production deploys tested updates smoothly on the live site. This minimizes the risk of errors and enhances site stability. Moreover, creating a staging environment ensures safe testing of the new features or modifications before live deployment, thereby improving overall site management and user experience.

Customize xCloud Test Domain
You can easily create a staging environment with xCloud. But xCloud offers even more than that. In addition to creating a staging site, you also get a custom xCloud domain for your staging and demo sites. That means you do not need to create e subdomain for your staging site. Rather than just deploy the site with one click and xCloud will create a staging site with a custom domain under your live production site.
Improvements to Give You a Better User Experience
This month, xCloud introduced several key improvements to enhance your WordPress hosting experience. A new filter allows you to sort sites to make site management more efficient. We have added validation for creating sites using IP addresses so that you can prevent errors from the start. Additionally, the UI has been enhanced with a redesigned header menu so that user experience becomes more seamless to manage hosting.
In addition, we have fixed several issues and bugs. The Slack notification issue for invoices has been resolved, and a critical security update addressing the OpenSSH vulnerability so that your sites remain secure and reliable.
These improvements are made to streamline your workflow, enhance site management, and provide a more user-friendly experience. They reflect our commitment to continuously updating and refining xCloud to meet your necessities effectively.
