The drum beat of change

1. New language and database combinations
Our first improvement to report this month is the addition of new language and database options on Simple Hosting, bringing the total number of programming language and database version combinations up to eighteen.

Start thinking about how you can mix and match these combinations:

2. U2F now available on #gandiV5
Four years ago we introduced a relatively new security standard, two-factor authentication (2FA), to our account security options. On the anniversary of our announcement of this new feature, we introduced the next evolution: universal two factor (U2F).

The U2F standard has simplified and strengthened 2FA. On #gandiv5, you now can use your U2F key to authenticate your session.

Learn how you can better secure your account with U2F:

3. SSL and SEO
Ahh SSL and SEO. Having the former can improve the latter. This month we looked at how to get SSL on your Simple Hosting now for free when you upgrade to the S+SSL instance size.

4. Update on #gandiv5 for resellers
While the tempo of that drumbeat of progress towards #gandiv5 completion is indeed picking up pace, we had thought that our resellers and corporate customers would be able to start migrating to v5 this October but unfortunately, the site is not yet ready for these customers.

5. Rightside and Donuts DPML program merged
Following the acquisition of the Rightside registry by Donuts on 28 July, Donuts's DPML service is expanding to include Rightside domains. The two programmes are effectively being merged.
