Mid-Month: March 2024
Welcome to March's Mid-Month! (Feel free to enjoy that alliteration.)
It's starting to feel more like Spring to the Reclaimers in the Northern US, so you know it's getting real! While we've been enjoying the improving weather, we've also been hard at work with everything from planning rad events and streams to enhancing our security and overall user experience.
Get in-the-know with this month's updates!
đź“Ł Announcements
WHMCS Patching
In an effort to further secure and harden our Domain of One's Own servers we've added a patch to each WHMCS instance. This patch will block any access to create an account outside of the WHMCS API (used in the Dashboard code) and the WHMCS admin interface. This is to prevent any spam/unauthorized registrations.
We encourage all admins continue to monitor all registrations on their individual DoOO instance to help keep things secure. If you see anything out of place feel free to reach out and let us know!
Installatron Notification Changes
If you think you're the only one who has noticed an uptick in those pesky Installatron notifications hitting your inbox... you're not. We've seen these notifications increase over time, and are planning on changing the current default configuration for our servers to disable these notifications for what we hope will be a welcome respite.
Read more about this decision, how we're rolling it out, and how you can change Installatron notifications on your own account in our recent post Installatron Notification Changes.
