Bot Hosting is how developers run their bots without stopping. We can host your Discord Bot, Telegram Bot, and more.

<img alt="Bot Hosting" />

<Info>We only support **Node.js** and **Python** bots.</Info>

## Variables

Once you have created and paid for your bot hosting, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the control panel. From there, log in and select your server. You will be able to manage your bot's variables, such as Git Repo.

## Limits

Hosting bots requires a good bit of disk space and memory. Check with your current provider to check your bot size. CPU usage is not an issue.

    | **update** | When a commission is edited by a `dev` or `admin` | `req`, `data` | Update external records, send notification emails, enforce business rules |
    | **sync**   | When a user clicks **Sync**                       | `req`         | Reconcile session data with a remote source, refresh cached commissions   |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Expanded">
    <ResponseField name="create" type="Function">
      `create` is called when a new commission is created via the UI. It receives the Express `req` object and a `data` object containing the commission fields data array. You can implement your own logic here, such as saving the commission to a database or triggering external workflows.

      Action metadata can be accessed via `data.createdAt` and `data.createdBy`.

      ```javascript twoslash server.js lines icon="square-js" theme={null}
      commtrackr.init({
        // ...
        handlers: {
          create: (req, data) => {
          },
        },
      });
      ```
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="update" type="Function">
      `update` is called when an existing commission is updated by a `dev` or `admin`. It receives the Express `req` object and a `data` object containing the updated commission object. You can implement your own logic here, such as updating external records or sending notification emails.

      The constant `data.id` contains the unique commission ID.

      Action metadata can be accessed via `data.updatedAt`, `data.updatedBy`, and `data.sendEmail`.

      Updated metadata can be accessed via `data.user`, `data.amount`, `data.currency`, `data.date`, `data.status`, `data.locked`, and `data.assignedTo`.

      Updated fields can be accessed via `data.fields`.

      Updated tasks can be accessed via `data.tasks`.

      ```javascript twoslash server.js lines icon="square-js" theme={null}
      commtrackr.init({
        // ...
        handlers: {

        },
      });
      ```
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="sync" type="Function">
      `sync` is called when the user manually triggers a sync by clicking the **Sync** button in the UI. It receives the Express `req` object. You can implement your own logic here, such as syncing your commissions session variable with an external source.

      ```javascript twoslash server.js lines icon="square-js" theme={null}
      commtrackr.init({

# Use CommTrackr

Learn how to use CommTrackr in your Express.js application.

## Deployment Tips

* **HTTPS**: Always serve the app over TLS, especially when session cookies contain sensitive identifiers. However, <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/commtrackr/commtrackr.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=aa307feda8f84b0e50116ef911d268f9" /><Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/commtrackr/commtrackr-dark.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=bc035891dcb55bf41b0e7d9267d343cb" /> **CommTrackr** can operate over HTTP in trusted internal networks or development environments.
* **Session Store**: Use a production‑grade store such as <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/databases.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=801944cee045f7e7ec21ce888cebcfc6" /> **MySQL** rather than the default memory store.
* **Environment Variables**: Keep secrets (`session.secret`, DB credentials) out of source control.
* **Scaling**: Because <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/commtrackr/commtrackr.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=aa307feda8f84b0e50116ef911d268f9" /><Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/commtrackr/commtrackr-dark.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=bc035891dcb55bf41b0e7d9267d343cb" /> **CommTrackr** stores data in the session, ensure your session store is shared across all server instances (e.g., a central <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/databases.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=801944cee045f7e7ec21ce888cebcfc6" /> **MySQL** cluster).


# Accounts
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/dangoapi/accounts

DangoAPI syncs with DangoID to verify your access to API endpoints. You can add `data` to your `ID` on API key creation. Examples of `data` can be keys or information we need to connect to external APIs. Instead of calling the URL with your `data` every time, an account stores it for you, keeping everything hidden. As of DangoAPI v6, accounts are **required**, and are generated when you order an API key. To get access to certain APIs that require API keys, you will need to add the key to your DangoAPI account.

## How to add a key

When you order a DangoAPI key from the Portal, it will ask for API keys on the checkout page. *All fields are optional.* Once your order is completed, you can go ahead and start using DangoAPI with your API key.


# API Keys
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/dangoapi/api-keys

API Keys allow you to access protected endpoints in the API. They can also allow you to access data for your `ID` specifically, without needing any `data` in your request. All of your `data` is requested from your account instead.

<Warning>DangoAPI Keys have been discontinued.<br /><br />Secure endpoints (e.g. account-based, key validation, and hidden system endpoints) may only be used by internal systems.</Warning>


# Endpoints
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/dangoapi/endpoints

All DangoAPI Endpoints are listed below in the order of oldest endpoint in the oldest category.

## Playground

Add your API Key and endpoint below to get `node-fetch` code (Javascript) or plain HTTP URL (Browser).

<form />

```js index.js theme={null}
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
//import fetch from 'node-fetch';

var endpoint = "";

fetch('https://api.dangoweb.com' + endpoint)
    .then(response => {
        response.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        console.log(data);
    })
    .catch({
        console.log();
    });
```

# About DangoAPI
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/dangoapi/get-started

DangoAPI is an evolving API that connects your Dango Web Solutions products - like Web Hosting or Bot Hosting - to powerful and fast text, random, image, Discord, tracking and more APIs.

## How fast?

Speed depends on which service you're using. Discord, for example, we load data in less than 1 second. The API loads before the page/bot content, giving your users an up-to-date experience.

## Platforms

DangoAPI integrates with the services below, with more coming soon!

* Discord (Guilds, Users)
* Node.js
* Python
* Dango Web Solutions (Websites, Bots)
* Better Uptime
* Uptime Robot

## How to use

Using DangoAPI in your product is super simple. You can call our API using regular `URL` - also known as a `GET` request - using the template below. Any other request methods will be denied.

`https://api.dangoweb.com/[API]/[ENDPOINT]/[DATA]`

Using our old API? Use this template:

`https://api.dangoweb.com/redirect/[DATA]`

* `API`: The API that you want to call. Ex: `discord`
* `ENDPOINT`: The API endpoint you are calling. Ex: `members`
* `DATA`: The data you send to the API. Ex: `all`

## Changelog

* `v7`: Added Soar CDN x DangoAPI.
* `v6`: Added API Keys, API accounts, Key Checker page, Better Uptime, Uptime Robot, and Redirect & Track.
* `v5`: Added `cors` to all requests, `discord:members`, `discord:member`, and `discord:channels`.
* `v4`: Added homepage, error page, error code, and headers.
* `v3`: Denied `GET` and `POST` requests, restricting to `URL` only.
* `v2`: Added `discord:allmembers`.
* `v1`: Setup API with no content yet.

# About Domains and TLDs
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/domains/about

Picking the right Domain and TLD are very important to make sure visitors can get to your site easily and can remember the address for anything they would need from you in the future.

<img alt="Domains" />

## What are Domains?

As you browse this documentation website, you are on a domain. Domains are the unique web addresses that allow you to access websites on the internet. They are like the street addresses of the internet, directing you to specific locations where websites are hosted. If you look at the address bar, you'll notice *dangoweb.com*, our domain. Anyone can go to this address to gain access to our public website.

## What are TLDs?

The .com at the end of a domain is known as the TLD, the Top-Level Domain. There are many to choose from such as .com (most popular), .org, .xyz, and .info. TLDs such as .edu and .gov are reserved for education institutions or governments. Other TLDs for countries, such as .us (United States) and .ca (Canada), may require residency in that country to acquire.

# Zelle
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/help/payments/zelle

Instructions on how to make one-time or recurring payments via Zelle.

Zelle can be used as a manual payment method for one-time payments or subscriptions. Payments via Zelle are done directly through your bank account's mobile app, and should reach us in seconds. Zelle is available in the United States and is supported by most major banks. To use Zelle, you will need to have a bank account that is enrolled with Zelle and a mobile device with the Zelle app or your bank's mobile app that supports Zelle.

## Our Zelle Information

To make a payment via Zelle, please use the following information:

* **Zelle Tag:** N/A
* **Email Address:** `admin@dangoweb.com`
* **Phone Number:** `+1 (929) 265-7367`

Before sending a payment, please ensure that you are sending it to the correct email address or phone number associated with our Zelle account. Payments sent to the wrong recipient cannot be refunded. When in doubt, [contact DWS support](/help/support) before sending a payment to confirm the correct Zelle information.

## One-time Payments

Open your bank's mobile app or the Zelle app, and select the option to send money via Zelle. Enter our email address or phone number, the amount you wish to pay, and any relevant notes or references. Confirm the payment details and submit the payment. You should receive a confirmation from your bank once the payment is sent. Then, [contact DWS support](/help/support) to confirm that the payment has been received and applied to your account.

## Recurring Payments

To set up recurring payments via Zelle, you will need to use your bank's mobile app, as the Zelle app itself does not support recurring payments. Open your bank's mobile app and navigate to the Zelle section. Look for an option to set up recurring payments or scheduled payments. Enter our email address or phone number, the amount you wish to pay, the frequency of the payments (e.g., weekly, monthly), and any relevant notes or references. Confirm the payment details and submit the recurring payment setup. You should receive a confirmation from your bank once the recurring payment is set up. Then, [contact DWS support](/help/support) to confirm that the recurring payment has been successfully established and applied to your account.

It may be preferable to set up the recurring payment cycle to start 24 hours after contacting DWS support to ensure that the first payment is received and applied to your account without any issues.

# Domains
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/help/web-hosting/directadmin/domains

Learn how to link and manage domains on DirectAdmin.

## Link Domain

<Info>If you registered your domain with us, this has already been done for you.</Info>

To serve web content to your domain it is required to link it using Nameservers or CNAME/A records.

### Log In to Registrar

Access your domain registrar account by logging in to the panel that you used to purchase your domain.

### Nameservers

Within the registrar panel, select the desired domain and navigate to the tab that mentions changing nameservers.

For specific instructions for popular registrars, see instead below:

* [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/edit-my-domain-nameservers-664)
* [Namecheap](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/767/10/how-to-change-dns-for-a-domain/)
* [IONOS](https://www.ionos.com/help/domains/using-your-own-name-servers/using-your-own-name-servers-for-a-domain/)
* [Porkbun](https://kb.porkbun.com/article/22-how-to-change-nameservers)

#### Set Nameservers

Find the nameservers that you would like to use to link your domain, this may be the customer nameservers sent in your welcome email or enterprise nameservers supplied to you.

#### Save Nameservers

Save your nameservers. Changes may take up to 48 hours to fully propagate around the world. Usually, propagation completes within a few hours. You can try clearing your DNS cache or using an incognito/private tab to speed up this process. If you are alerted with an error when saving the nameservers, try using our backup nameservers. If that fails, use another method or contact support.

### CNAME/A Records

Within the registrar panel, select the desired domain and navigate to the tab that mentions changing records.

#### Set CNAME/A Records

Create a new CNAME or A record with the name `@`. If you choose to use CNAME to point (recommended in case we change IPs), set the value to `cname.dangoweb.com`. If you choose to use our IP, set the value to our server IP. This can be found by contacting support or pinging any of our websites. `@` only applies to the main domain, not subdomains. You will need to add a record for each subdomain, with the name as the subdomain. You may wish to use a wildcard, `*`, to point all subdomains in one record.

#### Save CNAME/A Records

Save your added records. If you are alerted with an error when saving the records, contact support. It may be possible that they were entered incorrectly.

## Log In to DirectAdmin

To add your domain, [log in](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/logging-in) to the [<Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> DirectAdmin](/web-hosting/directadmin) control panel and navigate to the <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/domains.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=82208053c085fb959c05b111c2d595cc" /> **Domain Setup** tab.

## Add Domain

Once there, you should see your main domain in the list of domains. If the domain you would like to add is on the list, it is already linked. If it is not, click the "Add New" button to add it. Enter your new domain name and click "Create". Leave the other fields how they are.

## Modify Domain

Once you have your domain added to [<Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> DirectAdmin](/web-hosting/directadmin), you can modify it if needed. You can rename it if needed, however this is not advised as it may break your website and configurations you have. You may also want to toggle on "Force SSL with https redirect" if you have an [SSL](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/ssl) certificate.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Modify Domain" />

## Delete Domain

If you would like to remove your domain from <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**, select it from the domain list and click delete. It will ask if you would like to delete the domain's web files with it. Deleting a domain is a permanent action, it deletes all DNS configuration and files (if you chose). You may add the domain again, but this will not restore deleted configurations or web files.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Delete Domain" />
</Frame>

## Subdomains

Need to add a subdomain to your domain? Simply go to the "Subdomains" tab and add the subdomain to the domain you have linked. You can then use the subdomain by navigating to it in the <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/files.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=ba101ac11f7f9301e4ea725babf30e92" /> **File Manager** or [FTP](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/ftp) tab.

## Log In to DirectAdmin

[Log in](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/logging-in) to the [<Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> DirectAdmin](/web-hosting/directadmin) control panel and navigate to the <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/ftp.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=8e22a3d9cdf00cb2ac93b15da69aab64" /> **FTP Management** tab.

## Create FTP Account

On the top right-hand side, click on the "Create FTP Account" button. You'll be prompted for your new account username, password, and access control. FTP account usernames are formatted to look like email addresses, and can be used to log into FTP in place of your original username or email. When logging in, use the full "email address", not only the username input part. If the domain is not the correct one, you may need to switch to the desired domain before creating the FTP account.

Access control limits where the FTP account can access.

* If you set it to Domain, it will be able to access all the domain's files, but not other files.
* If you set it to FTP, it will be able to access all the domain's FTP files, but not other files. This protects against modifying the public domain files.
* If you set it to User, it will be able to access all files.
* If you set it to Custom, it will be able to access all files from a custom home directory.

Once you finish, click "Create" and you will be provided with login details for the account. These can be used on any FTP program to log in and manage your files.

One common error page is the "Request Timed Out" page. IP bans are defined as:

> IP address blocking or IP banning is a configuration of a network service that blocks requests from hosts with certain IP addresses. IP address blocking is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks and to prevent access by a disruptive address.

This definition is perfectly valid for IP bans on <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**.

When you try to log into <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** many times and fail every time, the system marks your IP as spam and bans it from accessing the control panel, our IPs, and any/all linked domains.

IP bans could also happen if you spam requests on websites (attacks include DoS, DDoS), although this has not ever happened to our users.

While you are IP banned, your services wiil *not* be suspended from the public. Others can still access your websites, the only one that would experience the ban would be the one banned. If your services *are* suspended from the public, your account may be suspended. Contact support in this case.

## Unban An IP

IP unbanning is simple to do. On average, it only takes a few minutes to complete the entire process.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtain IP Address">
    Find your IP address using any online service. This could be done by finding your IPv4 address in your device settings, or by searching 'my IP' on the web. Your public IP should be in 123.123.123.123 format, where 123 can be any 3 digit number from 000 to 999. If you are find an IP address that does not look like this, it may be an IPv6 address. When contacting support, please inform us of your **IPv4** address, not IPv6.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact Support">
    You may contact support any way listed [here](/help/support). Provide us your IPv4 address. If coming from Discord, your account ID will be used to match your account to make sure you are a <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** user. Similar with email and Telegram, your emails will be matched to your account before the unban. Please use the same email that you used to register to unban your IP.

In this issue: new payments system and new Dango Portal

📅 Published December 1st, 2024 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## New Payments System

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/456707).</Info>

We made drastic changes to our backend, simplifying payments and increasing site speed. PayPal payments can now be made directly through the Portal, allowing for more flexibility in how you pay for our services. The new payment system is now live and available for use. One-time payments can be done with Dangos or PayPal invoicing. The new system is more secure and reliable, with a better user experience.

## New Dango Portal

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/456707).</Info>

We undertook a redesign of the Portal to enhance user experience and streamline functionality. Key improvements include the integration of order management directly within the Portal, enabling users to place and track orders seamlessly. We also developed a payment linking system, simplifying the payment process for our customers and creating the ability to link PayPal subscriptions to the Portal. Additionally, we implemented an order activation feature, allowing users to activate their services once linked with only a few clicks. Furthermore, we incorporated a commission tracking system, making it easier for users to create and monitor their website commission progress and tasks. Lastly, we added an invoicing feature to keep customers informed about their transactions and payment status.

In this issue: login with Google, shared apps, and more.

📅 Published April 1st, 2024 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Log in with Google

We have added the ability to log in or sign up for DangoID with your existing Google account, in addition to username/password, Telegram, Github, and Discord. Logging in with Google is a passwordless option, meaning that we do not store your encrypted password - everything goes through them.

## Shared Apps

Webapps can now be shared to multiple subdomains. The same instance can be used to route to subdomains, like `portal.dangoweb.com` and `my.dangoweb.com`, from one main app. This can be useful for extending rate limits to the entire network and keeping the current session user login - no need to sign in again. This will be incorporated into our websites in the future for simpler signon. This is only available for apps hosted on the same domain. If you have multiple webapps hosted at DWS and DWS-made, [open a ticket](/help/support/ticket) to merge them into one instance. All apps need to be under the same domain as subdomains, and you must have space for subdomains on your account.

## MyDangoID Workspaces

Introducing Workspaces, a group account for your DangoID account. Invite your friends, family, or team members to manage websites, web hosting accounts, domains, emails, and more - all from MyDangoID. Of course, this means MyDangoID is getting a makeover with a new design, email invites, pages for each service, and lots, lots more. Below is a preview of the new dashboard design.

# 2024 Recap

Wrapping up this year with new releases, upgrades, and important maintenance.

📅 Published January 1st, 2025 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Releases

### March 2024

* [Shared Apps](/news/2024-4#shared-apps)

In March 2024, we released a feature that allows web apps to be shared across multiple subdomains. This improvement enables the same instance to route to subdomains such as `portal.dangoweb.com` and `my.dangoweb.com`. This functionality is beneficial for extending rate limits across the entire network and maintaining user login sessions, eliminating the need for multiple sign-ins. While this feature is an exciting development intended for future integration into our websites for simpler sign-ons, it is currently limited to apps hosted on the same domain. Users with multiple DWS-hosted web apps were encouraged to open a support ticket to merge them into one instance, provided that the apps are under the same domain and that there is available space for subdomains on their accounts.

* [MyDangoID Workspaces](/news/2024-4#mydangoid-workspaces)

We introduced Workspaces, a new feature for DangoID accounts that allows users to create group accounts. Users can now invite friends, family, or team members to manage various services such as websites, web hosting accounts, domains, and emails from within MyDangoID. This release also included a complete redesign of MyDangoID, with new features such as email invites and dedicated pages for each service. Previews of the new dashboard design were made available, showcasing various visual styles and functionalities, including dark and light modes.

### August 2024

* [New Homepage](/news/2024-9#new-homepage)

The new version of our main website, `dangoweb-d`, was published in August 2024. We invited users to provide feedback through our beta channel. The revamped site features full integration with the CMS and boasts a modern, sleek design. New additions include DangoAPI integrations, user testimonials, client brands, blog articles, live statistic counts, and more. Enhanced functionalities such as a product choosing guide, category use cases, plan comparisons, and account syncing were also implemented. The new website became accessible at [dangoweb.com](https://dangoweb.com/).

* [New MyDangoID Dashboard](/news/2024-9#new-mydangoid-dashboard)

The new MyDangoID dashboard was released, offering an updated interface with improved functionality. Key features included integrations for Workspaces, Authentication Syncing, and a refreshed design. Users can now access the new dashboard at [my.dangoweb.com](https://my.dangoweb.com).

### November 2024

* [New Payments System](/news/2024-12#new-payments-system)

We made significant backend changes in November 2024 to streamline the payment process and enhance site speed. Customers can now make PayPal payments directly through the Portal, allowing for greater payment flexibility. The new payment system, which supports one-time payments through Dangos or PayPal invoicing, is more secure and reliable, providing a better overall user experience. The rollout of this new payment system was completed successfully.

* [New Dango Portal](/news/2024-9#new-dango-portal)

A comprehensive redesign of the Dango Portal was implemented to improve user experience and functionality. Notable enhancements included order management integration within the Portal, enabling users to place and track orders seamlessly. We also created a payment linking system to simplify payments by allowing users to connect their PayPal subscriptions directly. Additional features included an order activation capability for ease of service activation and a commission tracking system for better monitoring of website commission activities. An invoicing feature was also added to keep users informed about their transactions and payment status.

### December 2024

* [Dango Portal Admin](/news/2025-1#dango-portal-admin)

In December 2024, we enhanced the Dango Portal with new administrative features tailored for order, subscription, invoice, and commission management by staff. The new staff admin dashboard includes comprehensive visibility into all subscriptions, orders, invoices, commissions, customers, and products, with sorting and search capabilities. Staff can manage sensitive information visibility and share links to specific dashboard tabs. The ability to click on items to view or edit their details was also included, alongside a feature to request item deletion, which routes to the site administrator for review.

## Upgrades

### January 2024

* [Price Drop](/news/2024-2#price-drop)

In January 2024, we announced a price drop for our Unlimited Web Hosting Reseller and 24/7 Bot Hosting services. This decrease applied to both current and future customers, making our offerings even more accessible.

* [No Advertisements](/news/2024-2#no-advertisements)

We removed advertisements from our homepage, [dangoweb.com](https://dangoweb.com/), allowing users to browse the site without distractions.

### February 2024

* [Wise Payment Gateway](/news/2024-3#wise-payment-gateway)

Starting in February 2024, we began accepting international payments through Wise, offering customers an alternative payment option besides PayPal. However, subscriptions (such as Web Hosting and CMS) remained unavailable for payment via Wise due to higher fees and exchange rates.

* [New DangoAPI Endpoints](/news/2024-3#new-dangoapi-endpoints)

POST `/cms/{site_id}` -- Fetch public CMS site data, private by default.

We introduced a new API endpoint, `POST /cms/{site_id}`, which allows users to fetch public CMS site data, which is private by default. Further information was made available in the DangoAPI documentation: [/dangoapi/endpoints#cms](/dangoapi/endpoints#cms).

* [Public CMS API Access](/news/2024-3#public-cms-api-access)

A significant upgrade was made with the addition of public CMS access on DangoAPI. This change enables websites to integrate with CMS data using static sites, avoiding the overhead of larger Node.js applications. It's important to ensure that sensitive information, such as API keys or passwords, is not exposed in site content.

* [CMS Temporary Login](/news/2024-3#cms-temporary-login)

We implemented a temporary login feature for new CMS accounts. When creating a new account or requesting a password reset, users now receive a temporary key instead of their password. This key can be used on the CMS login page's Temporary Login tab, and users are advised to reset their password upon accessing their accounts.

* [CMS Terms Update](/news/2024-3#cms-terms-update)

An update regarding the Terms of Service was shared on the CMS, noting that new terms would soon be issued to include CMS and Website & Bot Commissions. Violating these terms could result in site deactivation, and leaving the server would lead to immediate deletion of the CMS account.

* [Pay with Crypto](/news/2024-3#pay-with-crypto)

We reinstated cryptocurrency payments for orders of \$10 or more, allowing users to pay with Crypto instead of USD. A ticket must be created to facilitate this payment option, and double gas fees apply. It's important to note that we do not take responsibility for crypto lost during exchanges.

* [New Nameservers](/news/2024-3#new-nameservers)

New nameservers, `ns1.dangoweb.com` and `ns2.dangoweb.com`, were deployed, while existing users continued to use the old nameservers without issues. All new users were automatically assigned to the new nameservers.

### March 2024

* [Log in with Google](/news/2024-4#log-in-with-google)

We enabled the option for users to log in or sign up for DangoID using their existing Google accounts, in addition to username/password, Telegram, GitHub, and Discord. This passwordless option means we do not store encrypted passwords, as all logins are handled by Google.

### April 2024

* [CMS Upgrade](/news/2024-5#cms-upgrade)

From April 15th to 16th, we successfully performed a CMS update, migrating to the latest version which included several new features. These new features included a multi-select asset manager, environment groups, video previews, new fonts, new theme additions, quick sorting of items and assets, among many others.

### August 2024

* [Portal Moved](/news/2024-9#portal-moved)

In August 2024, the Dango Portal was relocated to the new DWS website's Pricing page. The revamped portal introduced numerous visual features, enhanced payment flow, and improved account syncing with MyDangoID. Users were encouraged to provide feedback in our beta channel. The Portal is now available at [dangoweb.com/pricing](https://dangoweb.com/pricing?from=portal) and will serve as a domain registration interface, product management page, and support/ticketing system alongside MyDangoID.

### December 2024

* [MyDangoID Dashboard Upgrade](/news/2025-1#mydangoid-dashboard-upgrade)

We upgraded the MyDangoID dashboard to a new system that enhances user functionality and simplifies the user experience. This upgrade resulted in faster and more secure authentication processes. Users can access the new dashboard at [my.dangoweb.com](https://my.dangoweb.com/).

<Frame>
  <img alt="New MyDangoID Dashboard - Forgot Password" />
</Frame>

* [Workspaces Removal](/news/2025-1#workspaces-removal)

We decided to remove the Workspaces feature from our Portal and all internal APIs due to its lack of popularity. This change means that Workspaces will no longer be required for orders, invoices, and commissions, and they will not be visible in existing records. Existing shared services will only be accessible to the service owner, and users are now encouraged to create sub-users for their services to grant access to others.

## Maintenance

### January 2024

* [CMS Temporary Login Security](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/325880)

During this maintenance, we improved the temporary login feature for the CMS. Users experienced errors when trying to log in, and some needed to reload the page to verify their login status.

### April 2024

* [CMS Upgrade](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/355538)

The CMS was successfully upgraded to the latest version during this maintenance period. Users encountered slow connectivity and potential data loss, so we advised against using the CMS at this time to prevent any changes made from being overwritten.

* [Cloudflare Hotlinks Error](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/359264)

Following a DDoS attack, Cloudflare blocked certain requests, resulting in 403 errors. We implemented a temporary solution while working towards a permanent fix, which required downtime for all websites using the CMS. Our team collaborated with the Cloudflare community and our hosting provider to resolve the issue.

### July 2024

* [Emergency Maintenance](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/392240)

An emergency maintenance event was conducted as scheduled, lasting approximately 60 minutes. During this time, all services were completely unavailable.

* [Homepage Website Revamp](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/408565)

The homepage website underwent a significant redesign during this maintenance. While the maintenance was in progress, the main website went offline and redirected users to the project website. Linked assets, including stylesheets, plugin scripts, and images, did not load at this time, but all other subdomains remained functional.

### September 2024

* [Upgrading Internal Systems](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/424309)

We upgraded our internal systems, including MyDangoID, DangoID, and DangoWeb, to incorporate recent updates related to Workspaces. The end time for this maintenance was not predetermined.

### November 2024

* [New Payments & Portal System](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/456707)

Significant backend changes were made to enhance the payment process, improve site speed, and redesign the Portal. This maintenance involved migrating orders to the Portal, creating a payment linking system, activating orders through the Portal, allowing Web Hosting plan upgrades, and integrating commissions and invoices. During this period, some affected instances experienced downtime.

### December 2024

* [Dango Portal Admin](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/467673)

We added new admin-side features to the Dango Portal for better management of orders, subscriptions, invoices, and commissions. During this maintenance, users encountered errors and potential issues with the Portal's usability. Other services remained unaffected.

* [MyDangoID Dashboard Upgrade](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/486266)

The global user authentication dashboard was upgraded to enhance account management for users. During the maintenance period, the dashboard was potentially unusable for some users.

Workspaces will no longer be required to be added to orders, invoices, and commissions, they will not be visible on existing orders, invoices, or commissions. Existing shared services will no longer be shared with users other than the service owner. Instead, create sub-users for your service to give access to other users.

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/721237).</Info>

Severe spotty downtime on our Web Hosting and Mail Hosting servers occurred early this month due to hardware issues on physical dedicated server infrastructure. While the issues persisted and we began to resolve the downtime, all websites, webapps, and hosted custom email addresses using Web Hosting and Mail Hosting were down for unknown repeating lengths of time. Our hosting panels could not be accessed during the period. Our providers conducted maintenance on our physical servers to resolve the downtime, fix faulty components with our physical infrastructure, and to rebuild the entire physical server with new hardware to solve the issues.

📅 Published November 1st, 2025 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Payment Provider Change

We are in the process of switching payment providers from PayPal to Stripe, long awaited by our users. After the switch, all current customers will be informed of the change and will have the opportunity to migrate their invoices, payment information, and subscriptions so that orders can be processed smoothly. During the migration, orders may not be processed or may be left hanging by the system. If this issue occurs, contact support for resolution. More details to come as progress is made.

## Discontinued Products

We have discontinued Soar CDN, NFT Websites, and DangoAPI Keys due to lack of support, integration, and modernity. Soar CDN is available and activated in the background by default in all CMS plans. No existing users will be affected.

## Yearly Mail Hosting+ and CMS

Our Mail Hosting+ and CMS plans, growing in popularity, are now available in yearly terms.

## Payment Provider Switch

We have switched payment providers from PayPal to Stripe. New subscriptions will be processed at Stripe instead, offering new payment methods at a different payment processing fee. Payments via PayPal are still offered at request, and existing subscriptions will remain on PayPal until their expiry. With Stripe, we've committed to giving 1.5% of our total profits, higher than the global average, to environmental groups working to help reduce carbon emissions and remove excessive carbon from our air. Visit [dangoweb.com/about](https://dangoweb.com/about) to learn more about our mission. New orders should be processed smoothly without any issues.

## Server Outage

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/766929).</Info>

📅 Published February 1st, 2025 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## SSL Certificate Renewal Error

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/495921).</Info>

We had downtime on all services due to a SSL certificate renewal error. Downtime affected client sites that use the CMS.

## Domain Registrar Change

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/470808).</Info>

We transferred our main domain dangoweb.com to a different registrar. During this time, all services were down. Users using our nameservers may have seen some downtime after maintenance ended.

## Subscription Renewal Enforcement

We have begun enforcing payments for subscription orders paid with Dangos. When your subscription comes up for renewal, your account will either be debited its due balance or an invoice will be created to continue the subscription. Accounts such as Web Hosting, Mail Hosting, Bot Hosting, VPS Hosting and more linked to the order will be suspended until the invoice is paid in full and approved by staff. Subscription cycle details can be found on the Portal.

## Free Plan Enforcement

Our free plan is aimed toward students, educators, non-profits, small businesses, and other entities that cannot afford to pay for larger hosting plans. To ensure that our free plan is being used for the correct target uses, we have begun prompting new users to explain what they will use the free hosting for, and how they fit into our free plan target uses. They will be asked to include any information that would help us verify your student, educator, non-profit, or small business status so that our hosting is not being used by false entities.

## Free Plan Downgrade

As we look at our user base and the free plan usage, we have noticed that almost all users do not use over half of their limits. Because of this, we have downgraded our free plan limits so that our current users can enjoy free hosting, while freeing up server resources.

## Copper Web Hosting

We have introduced a new web hosting plan, which offers medium limits for your site. This plan is placed between Basic (Free) Web Hosting and Gold Web Hosting with the following specifications:

* <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** Control Panel

In this issue: CMS price increase, documentation manager staff position, a new domain policy, downtime, and a new website template program.

📅 Published May 1st, 2025 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## CMS Price Increase

We have increased the pricing of the CMS for one-time payments. The price increased from \$10/once to \$15/once, with setup prices also increasing by the same amount. Through this change, we hope to reach our funding goals quicker as well as compensate developers for their time better, as setup time is not included in hourly rates.

## Documentation Manager Staff Position

A new volunteer staff position has been opened for a documentation manager. We are in need of documentation articles to be written, especially in our new [Help Center](https://docs.dangoweb.com/help). Additionally, many users are in need of tutorials on how to set up and use our various services and features of our host. You may write guides, tutorials, blog posts, and articles in Markdown, and may edit and develop existing articles in our extensive documentation. The position requires general experience of all products.

## Domain Policy

A new Domain Policy has been added and will take effect immediately for all users, including currently registered users. The policy clearly outlines domain usage on our systems as well as free domain and free subdomain provisioning and usage terms. All hosting users have been notified of this change. The Domain Policy is available online at [dangoweb.com/legal#domain-policy](https://dangoweb.com/legal#domain-policy).

## SSL Certificate Renewal Error

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/495921).</Info>

We had downtime on all services due to a SSL certificate renewal error. The downtime affected core infrastructure such as our homepage, Portal, APIs, CDNs, and CMS. During this time, our web hosting control panel could not be reached. Client sites using the CMS were affected.

## Pre-made Website Templates

Back in 2024 we discussed about launching pre-made website templates, starting with *Bulk*. Pre-made website templates are now rolling out as they are being made and published by participating developers. Templates are sold by the developer through their chosen payment gateway, and on their terms. As a participating developer, they may also choose to combine Dango Web Solutions services such as Web Hosting and CMS for use with their website theme. Developers that wish to join and contribute website templates, as well as integrate our services with templates, can contact us to join the program.

## *Bulk* Pre-made Website Template

*Bulk* is a pre-made website template for small websites or portfolios. Display featured information in elegant cards, and they'll stack on top of each other when visitors scroll your site. Add new pages to your site for different content, and link to them through card buttons or the site menu. Change the 404 not found page to better greet users in event of an error. A site logo in the header and footer can optionally be shown. A dark version of the template automatically activates depending on visitor's device preferences. The website transforms for mobile devices, compressing images and retaining the card stacking capability. *Bulk* runs on minimal external dependencies, promising extremely fast page load speeds.

In this issue: UK user notice.

📅 Published June 1st, 2026 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Notice to All UK-based Users

Dango Web Solutions presently does not meet the requirements of the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). We recognize that non‑compliance is far from ideal, but the cost of implementing the necessary overseas data‑handling fees would outweigh the revenue generated by our free and low‑cost offerings. Our free and discounted services rely on the collection and storage of personal data - including files, email addresses, and names - on our servers. Because we cannot yet satisfy ICO obligations, we are unable to continue offering these services without risking a breach of UK data-protection law. If you have provided personal information to Dango Web Solutions and wish to have it removed, you may submit a deletion request. Please email [admin@dangoweb.com](mailto:admin@dangoweb.com) with the subject line "Data Deletion Request" from the email address on our records. You can learn more about how to do so at the [ICO website](https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/your-right-to-get-your-data-deleted/). All valid deletion requests will be processed promptly, typically within 2 business days. Once the data is removed, we will confirm completion by replying to your email. Until a viable solution is in place, we must suspend all active accounts in the UK that involve personal data handling. Thank you for your understanding. Refer to our refund policy for information on how to request a refund for any paid services.

* 1 Dango Portal Account
* 1 [Free Subdomain](/domains/subdomains)
* 1 [<Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> DirectAdmin](/web-hosting/directadmin) Account
* 1 Website with SSL
* 1 Custom Domain Email Address

## DangoID

DangoID is the authentication system powering all Dango products. With a username and password, you'll have access to everything in this guide and more.

### Requirements

To start, you'll need a username and password in mind, as well as your email address.

### Registration

<Warning>
  You must be 13+ to sign up for an independent DangoID account.
</Warning>

Head over to [my.dangoweb.com](https://my.dangoweb.com/) and click "Register" above the login form. Proceed to enter your first and last name, a unique username, your email, and a password for your account. Finally, solve the hCaptcha and click "Register" to finish the process. You should then see a success message, and you may now log in with your chosen username and password.

Alternatively, you may sign up with an external login provider by clicking their corresponding button at the bottom of the page. Your username, email, name, and similar informational details are automatically collected and will be used to create your account.

#### Errors

If you encounter any errors during the registration process, first check that your username is all lowercase, containing only letters and numbers and no symbols. Then, check that your email is correct and that your password contains all legal characters. If there are still errors after checking these, check our [Status Page](https://status.dangoweb.com/) for system downtime, and then contact support as a last resort. We'll fix the issue as soon as possible.

### Logging in

Enter your chosen username and password from the previous step and click "Sign in" to be logged in. You have now successfully created and logged into your DangoID Account.

If you chose to sign up with an external login provider, simply log in with that provider by clicking the same button as before.

#### Errors

If you encounter issues on MyDangoID, first check the error message for any leads. Next, check that your username and password are valid. If everything looks good, there may be an error on our end and you should contact support. Getting error 500: `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` may mean there's an error behind the scenes. First, check our [Status Page](https://status.dangoweb.com/) for downtime, then contact support to get an immediate explanation.

## Dango Portal

Your Dango Portal account should be already set up from the last step. At the top right of your screen, you'll see your "Dangos", our currency. 100 Dangos equals exactly USD \$1.00, and you can trade and redeem them. Dangos also can be won from our giveaways, events, or claimed on holidays using a coupon.

### Ordering

<Warning>Free domains are currently unavailable. To continue, we'll use a free subdomain.</Warning>
<Info>If you have a [paid domain](/domains/paid) that you would like to use, use that instead.</Info>

Once activated, look out for an email from `portal@dangoweb.com` or a similar system address that will contain all your login information.

# NFT Websites
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/web-hosting/nft

Publish your DWS-made website - websites fully created and managed by us - to the world as a unique non-fungible token. Once your website is published, that version of it is permanently on the web. You can use this as a way to version your website. Additionally, NFT-ing your website protects that version from duplication by others (similar to copyright). At this moment we only process NFT websites as static websites. If you would like your dynamic website (WordPress, Next.js, etc.) converted into a static site, contact us. Our service, 'WordPress to HTML', can convert it for you (explained in our the last issue). You then can turn it into an NFT website.

<Warning>NFT Websites have been discontinued.</Warning>

# HTML Websites

<img alt="HTML Websites" />

HTML websites are the most basic type of website you can create. They consist of HTML files, which are the backbone of any website, and can be styled with CSS and made interactive with JavaScript. In this guide, we will show you how to create a simple HTML website using <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**.

<Note>[FTP & SFTP](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/ftp) can be used instead of the online file manager.</Note>

Open your [<Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> DirectAdmin](/help/web-hosting/directadmin/logging-in) control panel's <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/files.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=ba101ac11f7f9301e4ea725babf30e92" /> **File Explorer** and navigate to the `public_html` folder on the left. Your website files should appear in front of you.

If you already have a website made, you can delete all files in the `public_html` folder and upload your website files to the `public_html` folder. Once you have done that, close the <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/files.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=ba101ac11f7f9301e4ea725babf30e92" /> **File Manager** tab and reload your domain and you should see your website updated.

If you do not have a website already made, you can start with a template. Open the `index.html` file in the directory, and replace all content with this:

```html index.html theme={null}

# September Monthly Newsletter

Welcome to the ninth issue of the DWS monthly newsletter! In this issue, we've got a new release, important maintenance, and upcoming releases.

📅 Published October 1st, 2022 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Server Upgrades

On September 1st, we conducted maintenance for a couple of hours. Web Hosting and Web Hosting Reseller have been upgraded to include more features, one being Git Repos. During this time the DWS Portal, and everything using it, was down. Reports are available on our status page.

## DangoID

Our new login system, DangoID, allows you to login with the same credentials on all our sites, like the Portal and DangoAPI. If you integrate DangoAPI into your product, new endpoints that take advantage of DangoID will be available in the future. Along with these, you can also log in to our new dashboard, [https://my.dangoweb.com/](https://my.dangoweb.com/). From there you can change your account details (name, username, password, email, etc.). To learn how to get started with DangoID, head over to the docs at /dangoid/.

## Coming Soon: Conjure

Need a website, fast? Add a simple script to your bare HTML page (no body or head needed) to get a full website template. You may also want to include *another script*, where you can add your site details, like title, logo, sections, colors, and more. All generated for you on user request.


# October Monthly Newsletter

Welcome to the tenth issue of the DWS monthly newsletter! In this issue, we've got new and scheduled features and services.

📅 Published November 1st, 2022 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Integrating DangoID with DangoAPI

DangoID was added to DangoAPI to provide a way for us to internally get user and live session data. Live session data will be used in the future to log in to all of our domains automatically. User data does not include passwords or API Keys. This data is available on our new Public Profile page, below.

## DangoID Public Profile

All existing users with a DangoID Account can access and share their public profile with their URL [my.dangoweb.com/@username](https://my.dangoweb.com/@username). “username” can be replaced with any DangoID username or Discord ID to get the user's public profile picture and Discord Account. Support for public and private fields is scheduled for the end of the year.

<Frame>

## Dark Mode for DangoID

DangoID now has Dark Mode by default, on the Dashboard and Public Profile. Light Mode is coming soon.

## Coming Soon: Conjure

Need a website, fast? Add a simple script to your bare HTML page (no body or head needed) to get a full website template. You may also want to include another script, where you can add your site details, like title, logo, sections, colors, and more - all generated for you on user request. Conjure has been rescheduled for the end of the year.

## Coming Soon: Dango Messaging

Looking for a secure messaging service that doesn't keep your data? Dango Messaging may be what you're looking for. Log in to DangoID and navigate to the “Messaging” tab to get a Discord-looking page. From there, users can join or create “servers” that can only be accessed by people with the code. A good feature of Dango Messaging is that sent messages disappear for new members that join, keeping your old messages private to the max. The username and Public Profile page are shared with everyone on the server at that time.

## Coming Soon: Login with Discord & Telegram

Soon you'll be able to link your Discord & Telegram accounts to DangoID, allowing you to log in to and signup for DangoID with them. When signing up with those accounts, we'll use the name you use on that platform. You can always change it in the “Edit Account” section in DangoID. After linking the accounts, you cannot go back or change the account ID manually.

## Halloween Discounts

This Halloween, use code “halloween22” on the DWS Portal to get 22 🍡 Dangos. Expires 10/23/22. Maximum 1 per user.


# November Monthly Newsletter
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/news/2022-12

Welcome to the eleventh issue of the DWS monthly newsletter! In this issue, we've got new releases, major server downtime, and plans for the end of the year.

📅 Published December 1st, 2022 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## SoarCDN Chat

Looking for a secure messaging service that doesn't store any of your data? Look no further! Log in to DangoID and navigate to the “Messaging” tab. You may need to log in again for security. From there, users can join or create “servers” that can only be accessed by people with the invite phrase. Invite phrases can be words or sentences including numbers and symbols. Sent messages disappear for new members, keeping old messages private. Your public information is shared with everyone on the server at that time.

## Login with Telegram

When creating a DangoID Account, you may choose to signup using Telegram. Your name, username, and profile picture will be the same as what you have on Telegram. If you would like to login with a password, you may add one in the “Edit Account” tab.

## DirectAdmin Server Offline

Starting November 18th at around 3:15 PM EST, the <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** server has been completely offline. We were unable to access the server to run a backup and fix the problem. Using backups from 11/13/22 from 12 AM through 3 AM UTC, we have started to import all data onto new servers. The downtime has been completed on 11/28/22 and downtime credit is being offered to all paid clients that qualify. Check out the devastation on our status page.

## Coming Soon: New DangoID Theme

An improved look of the DangoID dashboard is coming soon. The new look will showcase all the features your account unlocks, including <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**, the DWS Portal, DangoAPI, and more. Included with the new theme is light mode accompanying our new dark mode.

## Coming Soon: Homepage Mobile Version

On mobile our homepage cannot be navigated, so we have locked it down. We have tried to fix it, but unfortunately our only option is to create a whole different mobile-friendly version of the site. This version will be updated the same second the desktop version is.

## Coming Soon: Conjure

Need a website, fast? Add a simple script to your bare HTML page (no body or head needed) to get a full website template. You may also want to include another script, where you can add your site details, like title, logo, sections, colors, and more - all generated for you on user request. Conjure has been rescheduled for the end of the year.

# March Monthly Newsletter

Welcome to the third issue of the DWS monthly newsletter!

📅 Published April 1st, 2022 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Our own virtual currency

We've added our new virtual currency, Dangos, to the Portal! They can be used to purchase any product that is listed. You can trade Dangos with other users, buy Dangos with PayPal, redeem codes & invite for free Dangos, and lots, lots more!

## A new look

The Portal has undergone some changes these past months. Starting with the header, it now has a mega menu and more links including your Dango count and our new Free Hosting landing page. Next, we updated the look of the checkout - now sleeker it will give you an amazing and easy experience when purchasing. We're also updated our footer, adding a form to login to <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**, and in the future, cPanel. Finally, we have redesigned our 404 Not Found error page, which is triggered when we can't find what you're looking for.

## WordPress to HTML

It might sound useless to some, but we offer converting your WordPress website (without any dynamic plugins that change) to HTML, minimizing it, and then hosting it on Soar CDN. With these steps, you can serve your WordPress website as a fast, static HTML website on your domain. You can request it from us by creating a ticket or directly contacting us (see below!).

## Text for support

Do you have questions about Dango Web Solutions, but don't have [Discord](https://dangoweb.com/discord), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dangoweb), [Facebook](https://facebook.com/dangoweb), or [Telegram](https://t.me/FreeWebsiteHost)? Well you're in luck! We've recently launched our dedicated support phone number, and it's open to all texts and voicemails. You're guaranteed a text back within 1 business day. You can contact it through [Telegram (@DangoWebSolutions)](https://t.me/DangoWebSolutions) or directly to [+1 (929)-265-7367](http://tel:+19292657367).

## Welcome to the group!

In November 2021 we added [Soar CDN](https://cdn.dangoweb.com/) to [The Dango Group](https://org.dangoweb.com/) and started integrating it with DWS-made websites for free. This past week, we've annexed [HiveHost](https://hivehost.cf/), a free and paid web hosting provider, and website creation seller. Check it out!

## Coming soon: NFT websites

The NFT community is growing, and we need to get ready for when it reaches us. To prepare, we're adding NFT websites, regular HTML websites that can be shown through a domain, but instead of using hosting, it uses a Non Fungible Token. They cannot be edited later, and they give us more control over the website code for legal purposes. We plan on releasing this in the next months on the [DWS Network](https://net.dangoweb.com/). Look forward to it!

## NFT websites

Publish your DWS-made website - websites fully created and managed by us - to the world as a unique non-fungible token. Once your website is published, that version of it is permanently on the web. You can use this as a way to version your website. Additionally, NFT-ing your website protects that version from duplication by others (similar to copyright). At this moment we only process NFT websites as static websites. If you would like your dynamic website (WordPress, Next.js, etc.) converted into a static site, contact us. Our service, “WordPress to HTML”, can convert it for you (explained in our the last issue). You then can turn it into an NFT website. You can see a past version of our homepage at [net.dangoweb.com/](https://net.dangoweb.com/). You can get an NFT website from us on the Portal. Make sure to include your DWS-made site ID on the checkout page.

## Emoji domains

Emoji domains have been introduced and are becoming increasingly popular over the months. They can replace regular alphanumeric domains and can be used with all TLDs. The recommended usage of emoji domains is redirecting it to another, regular domain. Alternatively, you can setup a whole different website on the domain - although it's not recommended because lots of social media do not accept these as profile links. An example of emoji domains is over at [🍡🕸.ga/](https://xn--7i8ho7a.ga/), which redirects to [dangoweb.com/](https://dangoweb.com/). You can get an emoji domain from us on the checkout page on the Portal.

## Coming Soon: Domain reseller

We've launched our Web Hosting reseller plan, but what about registering domains for customers? They're a extremely vital part of connecting web hosting to the world. Domain reselling will be separate from regular reseller, and you can manage domains through a trusted provider, Freenom. You'll receive top-level free domains at discounted prices, and regular popular domains at cost price.

## Domain reseller

If we have Web Hosting reseller, why not Domain Reseller? Domains are an extremely vital part of connecting your website on your web hosting to the world. With Domain Reseller, you can manage your and your client's domains through a trusted provider, Freenom. You'll also receive top-level free domains at discounted prices, and regular popular domains at cost price. Domain Reseller is available for purchase on the [Dango Portal](https://portal.dangoweb.com/).

## Bot Hosting

Do you have a Discord bot you've been working on? Have you added it to your server, but your members are always complaining that when they go to use it, it's always offline? That's where Bot Hosting comes in! Dango Web Solutions offers two hosting plans with different uptimes. Our free plan, has 23/7 uptime so your members will almost always see your bot online. If you would like 24/7 uptime, that's paid. Check both plans out on the [Dango Portal](https://portal.dangoweb.com/).

## DangoAPI

We've begun constructing an API for Dango Web Solutions products! You will be able to add it to your product very easily, with only a couple lines of code needed, all pre-made for you. To start, you'll need an “ID”. This is the unique identification string for your DWS product. Next, pick which API you would like to use. At this moment, DangoAPI has the Discord API. Then, pick from what you would like to get. For example, a call would be this: [api.dangoweb.com/discord/dangoweb/allmembers](https://api.dangoweb.com/discord/dangoweb/allmembers). This gets the number of members (allmembers) in the Dango Web Solutions (dangoweb) Discord server (discord). You can contact support to help you with setting it up for your DWS product. Lots more coming soon! Check out DangoAPI [here](https://api.dangoweb.com/).

That's it for this month, see you next time!

This feature will appear in DangoAPI v7, along with other neat additions.

## DangoID in action

Finally, a full preview of what DangoID is and what it can do. In this demo, users input their DangoID username in the URL, and it outputs account information from DangoAPI, Dango Portal, and Discord. This implementation uses plain HTML, JS, & CSS from DWS Discord Core template (coming soon) and uses DangoAPI to fetch Discord and Dango Portal user data. Take a look at it here: [dangoweb.com/user/dangoweb](https://dangoweb.com/user/dangoweb).

Welcome to the eighth issue of the DWS monthly newsletter! In this issue, we've got one new release, some server downtime, and important upcoming maintenance to announce.

📅 Published September 1st, 2022 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## DangoAPI Captchas

Need to verify your visitors are really human? Captchas are the new rave, allowing websites to allow only humans through. The trick is to scramble words up, maybe add pictures in the background, or ask to identify or sort objects, While new AI can get through, normal robots can't. We believe that getting to your content shouldn't take too much of your time, therefore we created a simple captcha generator, that outputs an image and it's deciphered text. You can compare the user's response to the correct answer, and deliver. DangoAPI Captcha is available at “random/captcha”.

## VPN failure

Our DangoAPI and Dango Bots servers use a VPN, WARP (1.1.1.1), to access the user. With the VPN not available, the system failed. The outage lasted a week, and it is now back up. You can view specific information on our status page.

## Partner Merge

Our partner, Erebus Hosting, has decided to merge with Dango Web Solutions.

We welcome Erebus Hosting and its clients, and we will match all prices for customers.

## Client DDoS Attacks

We have experienced hours of downtime this month due to DDoS attacks on clients. Our providers are working on upgrading their servers, and this should be completed by the end of the year. This upgrade should eliminate these issues and boost performance. If nothing changes after our provider upgrades their servers, we'll switch to our new partner for hosting.

## Halloween Promotions Event

Calling all graphic designers & creatives! This Halloween, we're looking to increase advertising on social media. We need a few advertisements suitable for **Instagram, X, Reddit, and Discord**. In order to do so, we'll be hosting a contest to see who can create the best advertisement cover images for us this season!

Advertisements must be Halloween-themed, orange-red-black colored, and spooky - but not *too* scary, we want to catch the viewers' eyes, not scare them away. The advertisements must be in the form of a still image or short repeated (looped) animated photo and should include our business name, website, tagline, logo, etc. 3D images are recommended. Advertisements should not mention any other business.

To win the contest, you must enter and submit by **Halloween night** (10/31/23) - that's **6 days from now**! Winners will be selected by staff and will be rewarded with Dangos. As a reminder, 100 Dangos = \$1.00 USD, and can only be redeemed on our Portal for our services. Prizes depend on the number of participants entered into the competition. Prizes are cut by 10 if less than 5 people enter, so invite your friends to join and start some competition! If we get over 5 participants, the top prize will be starting at 1500 Dangos!

1st Place ----- 1500 Dangos
2nd Place ---- 1400 Dangos

In this issue: new Portal theme, server upgrades, and more.

📅 Published December 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## New Portal Theme

We've released our new Portal theme! With new backgrounds, designs, and features the Portal is looking sharp. Minor fixes will be published over the coming week. Take a look for yourself over at [portal.dangoweb.com/](https://portal.dangoweb.com/)!

## Coming Soon: Lockdown Mode!

Remotely lock pages on your DWS-made website with a password or PIN. This instantly locks pages and restricts access at the frontend, blocking users from seeing the page content. You will able to integrate your own system using DangoAPI, or use the DangoAPI bot for Discord and Telegram to do this remotely. Only the owner or Workspace administrator of the website will be able to use this feature. Available soon for new DWS-made Node.js webapps.

## Server Upgrades

Along with new server upgrades, we have updated our IP to `38.46.219.156`! Everything has been migrated and nameservers are working again. The new server has improved networking, increased DDoS protection, NVMe SSD storage, and a much more powerful Ryzen CPU. Client sites and files should be served faster and smoother now. Server location has been moved to United States. Check it out!

## Failed Switch Upgrade

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/291152).</Info>

An upstream network issue affecting the entire network has appeared, and we were informed that our server provider was doing a switch upgrade that had failed.

## New DangoAPI Endpoints

`/discord/server/{guild_id}/channels` -- Fetch the channels in your Discord Server.

`/discord/server/{guild_id}/channels/{channel_id}` -- Fetch a specific channel in your Discord Server.

`/discord/server/{guild_id}/channels/{channel_id}/messages` -- Fetch a specific channel in your Discord Server's messages.

Read more at the DangoAPI documentation: [/dangoapi/endpoints#server-channels](/dangoapi/endpoints#server-channels)

## Coming 2024: Affiliates & Gold Dangos!

Refer users to us, and for every purchase they make on the Portal, you'll receive *Gold Dangos*, which, unlike regular Dangos, can be used to buy Domains, Bot Hosting, Game Hosting, and other paid services.

The user must sign up using Discord, Google, or another provider to ensure that the user is not an alternative account. A purchase must be made in the first 2 days of account creation and they must have entered your affiliate code beforehand.

Users are only allowed to enter one affiliate code each, and purchases made for MyDangoID Workspaces are not counted. Gold Dangos may be shared within MyDangoID Workspaces.

You may manage your invite links, affiliate codes, and Gold Dangos from your Affiliate Dashboard. Gold Dangos will not be attainable through events and giveaways. The Domain Reseller program will also be a way to gain Gold Dangos.

## Cyber Monday Deals

Use code "cyber23" on the DWS Portal to get \$2 off your order. Expires 12/4/23. Maximum 1 per user.

## Staff Changes

Today we say goodbye to our staff member, acetherico. He has quit our business in order to pursue his own. I'm sure we can all say that it has been a nice time with him here. We will be losing the most active and valuable staff member we have ever had. He merged Erebus Hosting with Dango Web Solutions, bringing Bot Hosting and Game Hosting along. Thank you for your work and dedication, you will be greatly missed.

## Game Hosting Planned Shutdown

Due to the number of members who have purchased Game Hosting, we may shut it down to drastically cut costs. Bot Hosting will still be available but at reduced specifications, as nobody has bought that either. If anyone plans on buying Game Hosting or Bot Hosting, please do it before we shut Game Hosting down. Thank you.

In this issue, we've got new services, along with provider conflict and migration, domain changes, and more.

📅 Published February 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Database Migration

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/150920).</Info>

We moved the DangoID database to <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** for easier connectivity to the Portal. This migration ended the login with DangoID error on the Portal. We reconnected MyDangoID and DangoAPI to DangoID, and maintenance was completed.

## Groups and Subaccounts

Groups and Subaccounts are now visible on the Portal! Mandatory groups of up to 10 share services and have shared limits. As the owner of the group, you can create and manage Subaccounts for your friends, colleagues, or clients.

## Provider Migration

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/165123).</Info>

In the latter part of the month, we migrated to another provider due to conflicts with our old one. Backups were taken, but importing them into the new provider threw errors due to the system using Apache instead of Nginx.

## Domain Change

We changed our domain from dangoweb.xyz to dangoweb.com due to conflicts with our old provider. This created many extensive outages which impacted all of our products.

## 24/7 Policy

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/149410).</Info>

A 23/7 Policy for almost no downtime was drafted, and with the DangoID Database migration, it was put into place. It will be officially published next month.

## Quick Start

We made a Quick Start guide explaining how to get started using Dango Web Solutions. It explains how to sign up, log in, order a product, create a website, and more. It's available [here](/quickstart).

## cPanel for Resellers

The [cPanel](/web-hosting/cpanel) Control Panel is now available for new Web Hosting Resellers that sign up through us. Pricing plans will be available on the Portal next month.

In this issue, we've got new extensive downtime to replace our Portal.

📅 Published April 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## New Dango Portal

<Info>The maintenance log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/maintenance/170311).</Info>

The Portal saw numerous fatal errors after migration to our new provider, and we saw fit to transform the Portal into a fast web app instead of a bulky WordPress installation. Databases and DangoID SSO were added. All orders and user accounts have been migrated, and orders can be found in their MyDangoID account dashboard. We reset all passwords, please contact support to set a new password immediately. This downtime has lasted for over a month, and we are actively working to restore the previous user experience.

## Beta Channel

As we start rolling out new products and features throughout the year, the first ones to get access will be our beta testers. With exclusive access to pre-releases and development versions of our homepage, Portal, and API, they'll help us grow by pointing out flaws and sections we can improve upon before pushing them out to the public. The Beta Tester role is now available to pick up on our Discord server.


# April Monthly Newsletter

In this issue, we've made a new homepage design, disabled CAPTCHAs, removed free reseller, and updated DangoAPI.

📅 Published May 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## New Homepage Design

This month we focused on creating and developing a new homepage design. The new design features new layouts on all sections and is more accessible than the old website design as it does not have multiple sliding sections. The design is shown in the image above.

<Frame>
  <img alt="New Homepage Design" />
</Frame>

## No More CAPTCHAs

We have decided to remove CAPTCHA and bot protection from our Discord server, as these have been automatically implemented by Discord's new security and CAPTCHA requirements. Additionally, all new users will be auto-verified upon joining the server.

## Removing Free Reseller

As an effort to make money, we have removed the option to purchase Free Reseller Web Hosting. If you had a reseller DangoID account with us, it has been downgraded to a customer account.

## DangoAPI Discord Server Online Members & Counts

In favor of the newly added `/discord/server/{guild_id}/members` and `/discord/server/{guild_id}/members/online` endpoints showing members in a guild, the below endpoints have moved.
`/discord/server/{guild_id}/members` ➡️ `/discord/server/{guild_id}/members/count`
`/discord/server/{guild_id}/members/online` ➡️ `/discord/server/{guild_id}/members/count/online`


# May Monthly Newsletter

In this issue, we've got password resets by email, longer sessions, and a minor DDoS attack.

📅 Published June 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Password Resets

Users can now request a password reset via email if they ever get locked out of their DangoID account. This is to ensure privacy and that no passwords are sent over chats to staff. Password resets are now available on [MyDangoID](https://my.dangoweb.com/).

## Longer Session Duration

Tired of re-entering your login details on Dango Portal or MyDangoID too frequently? We've changed the session expiration time from 10 minutes to 1 day, allowing you to place your order or manage your account in peace.

## DDoS Attack

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/212512).</Info>

We have suffered a DDoS Attack that has taken down all main websites using the CMS. The attack consisted of repeated requests, using up our plan quota, which resulted in an error for all main sites. User websites, data, and <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** panel were not affected. A few days later, the attackers pushed with more DDoS attacks, and we shut down the websites and backend for DangoWeb, The Dango Group, and MyDangoID. We have identified the threat as a Level 7 DDoS Attack, and have enabled protection to counter it. We migrated all sites and backend to <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**, and they are up and running. All sites have recovered as of June 1st, 2023. MyDangoID will start working as soon as the DDoS Attack is finished. The attacker's public post on the subject is [here](https://t.me/stresser2022/2279).

In this issue, we've got more DDoS attacks, a TLD shutdown, downtime and more.

📅 Published July 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## DDoS Attack (continued)

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/212512).</Info>

The DDoS Attack discussed in our last newspaper re-appeared, causing destruction to our websites yet again. We took 31 DDoS Attacks in 2 hours. The entirety of their presence has served a total of 753.92 million requests.

## .ga TLD Shutdown

Freenom has announced that they are shutting down the .ga TLD. Below are the details from InfinityFree.

> If you are using using a .ga domain, you may notice that the domain is down right now. The reason for this is that ANINF, the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies of the Gabonese Republic, is reclaiming ownership of the .ga extension and will be managed by the French registry Afnic. They have said "As part of this switch-over operation, several million domain names will be deleted as the previous operator has not provided the data that concern them." The statement seems to imply that ALL registrations have been dropped, including all free registrations. The statement makes it clear that they have no intent to allow free registrations again, and instead want to focus on customers who want to use the domains in relation to Gabon. Registration services will be resumed at some point and the domains will be available for anyone to purchase. In other words: all free .ga domains are gone and you won't get them back (unless you buy the domain, presumably).

* InfinityFree owner, modified.

There is absolutely nothing we can do, please use a free subdomain from us or buy a domain through us to transfer all data. As Freenom is no longer accepting new domain registrations, you cannot register a new domain either.

### Websites Affected

Due to this, many of our and our clients' websites have shut down. If you have registered a .ga domain through us, you have been contacted. Concerning our websites, DangoAPI, SoarCDN, The Dango Group, and more have been deleted. DangoAPI (dangoapi.ga) has been moved to api.dangoweb.com, SoarCDN (soarcdn.ga) has been moved to cdn.dangoweb.com, The Dango Group (thedangogroup.ga) has been moved to org.dangoweb.com, DWS NFT Network (dws-net.ga) has been moved to net.dangoweb.com, and Chat Pivot (chat-pivot.ga, deprecated) has been moved to chat-pivot.dangoweb.com.

## DirectAdmin Access Point Change

The <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** panel has been moved from portal.dangoweb.com to da.dangoweb.com to protect the Portal from DDoS Attacks. This affects all APIs, email accounts, FTP users, and anything using portal.dangoweb.com.

## Summer Opportunities

This summer there are a ton of opportunities to help us out.

* We're looking for developers to join us in updating our websites (Dango Portal, MyDangoID, etc.) to modern UI standards. Whether static or templated, all sites are currently maintained by our CEO, Faisal, alone. If you're experienced in HTML and CSS, join us this summer in transforming Dango sites.
* We will also start making demo template sites with ConjureUp (Beta).
* Bot Hosting is currently in Beta, we still need someone to create a simple bot to test it out. The control panel for that is coming soon.
* Migrating Dango Events needs to be done. At least the staff job list should be migrated.
* We're planning on creating an onboarding site which will take new users through some steps. After they complete it, they'll have a DangoID account, Portal account, and everything else needed to get started with DWS.
* The ConjureUp site needs to be made. We've put this off for too long because it's a giant task that will revolutionize and simplify our work as web developers. Still to come.
* Minor bug fixes on the Portal.

Let us know if you would like to help us with any of this during this summer, we would appreciate any help. You must be on the staff team as a developer - apply!

In this issue: EOL, CMS, a TLD shutdown, and more.

📅 Published August 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Crown Subdomains EOL

We have shut down all subdomains owned by Crown Subdomains and we only offer .served.tk/gq subdomains.

## CMS

CMS for new websites created will be available soon. We've been working hard to add CMS support to websites we make to give website owners the freedom to edit their own website after the developers make the base site. Through the CMS, you'll be able to edit every part of your site on all your devices, whenever. It supports basic sites, blog articles, stores, and everything in between. Available for a fee only on paid websites with a backend using our hosting. Interested in beta? Join our Beta Channel on our Discord server for early access. Our homepage and the Portal have successfully been migrated to the new CMS. We are now (hopefully) immune to future DDoS attacks.

## .ml TLD Shutdown

Freenom has shut down the .ml TLD unannounced.

> While new free domains cannot be registered, if you have any existing ones, they can still be used as normal. It is important to note that Freenom does not have automatic domain renewal. As such, if you fail to renew your free domain two weeks before it expires, it will be seized from you, and potentially lost forever.

* [Gilect's "The Real Reason Freenom Is Having 'Technical Issues'—And Why Free Domains Won't Exist for a Long Time"](https://gilect.com/blog/2023/04/14/the-real-reason-freenom-is-having-technical-issues-and-why-free-domains-wont-exist-for-a-long-time/)

There is absolutely nothing we can do, please use a free subdomain from us or buy a domain through us to transfer all data. As Freenom is no longer accepting new domain registrations, you cannot register a new domain either.

## Domain Reseller

As there has been absolutely no interest in our Unlimited Domain Reseller product, we have taken it off the Portal and are no longer selling it. We may bring it back in the future if there is interest.

## ConjureUp Update

ConjureUp (Beta) will redirect to our CMS, which offers the same features as it would have. Instead of outputting code, it connects to CMS and requires a paid plan. It will not "revolutionize" the work of web developers as planned. ConjureUp (Beta) will be available soon as it needs no real development.

In this issue: price increases, game hosting, a partnership, and more.

📅 Published September 1st, 2023 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Venmo Discontinued

We no longer accept Venmo as a payment method. We have had a lot of issues with Venmo in the past, and we have decided to stop accepting it as a payment method. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

## Domain Price Increase

.com and .xyz domains are increasing in price globally by +14%. If you currently have a .com or .xyz domain registered with us, we encourage you to secure your current low price for future years by creating a ticket. New users can also secure the low price before it disappears for good.

## Backup Nameservers

We have ran into issues with our normal and enterprise nameservers registering on some domain registrars, such as GoDaddy and Namecheap. Our backup nameservers, which have the fix implemented, have been created as `ns1.dangoweb.faisaln.com` & `ns2.dangoweb.faisaln.com` in case your domain registrar does not accept our normal or enterprise nameservers.

## Bot & Game Hosting

Bot Hosting has been fixed and it has been added back to the Portal. With our new partnership with [Erebus Hosting](https://erebushosting.com/), we now offer affordable Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ark: Survival Evolved, Insurgency, Garrys Mod, Team Fortress 2, Rust, and GTA San Andreas Multiplayer Game Hosting. Both Bot and Game Hosting are available for purchase on [Dango Portal](https://portal.dangoweb.com/).

## Partnership with Erebus Hosting

We have partnered with Erebus Hosting to provide you with affordable game and bot hosting. Erebus Hosting is a game hosting company that provides affordable game hosting for Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ark: Survival Evolved, Insurgency, Garrys Mod, Team Fortress 2, Rust, GTA San Andreas Multiplayer, and more, as well as bot hosting with support for Node.js and Python bots. You can visit their website at [erebushosting.com](https://erebushosting.com/).

## IP Change

Our IP has changed to `54.39.115.224`. This has been done automatically for users using our CNAME record or nameservers; no action is required. For everyone else, your domain must be pointing to the new IP for your site to resolve. Resellers, make sure to change the IP for yourself and all clients.

.com and .xyz domains are increasing in price globally by +14%. If you currently have a .com or .xyz domain registered with us, we encourage you to secure your current low price for future years by creating a ticket. New users can also secure the low price before it disappears for good.

### Backup Nameservers

We have ran into issues with our normal and enterprise nameservers registering on some domain registrars, such as GoDaddy and Namecheap. Our backup nameservers, which have the fix implemented, have been created as `ns1.dangoweb.faisaln.com` & `ns2.dangoweb.faisaln.com` in case your domain registrar does not accept our normal or enterprise nameservers.

### Partnership with Erebus Hosting

We have partnered with Erebus Hosting to provide you with affordable game and bot hosting. Erebus Hosting is a game hosting company that provides affordable game hosting for Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ark: Survival Evolved, Insurgency, Garrys Mod, Team Fortress 2, Rust, GTA San Andreas Multiplayer, and more, as well as bot hosting with support for Node.js and Python bots. You can visit their website at [erebushosting.com](https://erebushosting.com/).

### IP Change

Our IP has changed to `54.39.115.224`. This has been done automatically for users using our CNAME record or nameservers; no action is required. For everyone else, your domain must be pointing to the new IP for your site to resolve. Resellers, make sure to change the IP for yourself and all clients.

### Custom Nameservers

Resellers now have access to custom nameservers. They can make up to 4 custom nameservers for their clients to use. By default, all users use our default nameservers.

### Free Bot Hosting Account Deletion

All previous <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** accounts using our old Free Bot Hosting plan have been deleted as we have recently introduced Paid Bot Hosting using a proper bot hosting panel, Pterodactyl.

### Increased Performance

A large amount of code in the Portal and MyDangoID frontend has been moved to the backend to increase performance. Users will see a significant increase in performance the next time they log in.

### Log in with Discord & Github

We have added the ability to log in or sign up for DangoID with your existing Github or Discord account, in addition to username/password and Telegram. On MyDangoID account creation your account will be marked as Staff if you have a staff role in our Discord server or if you have access to our Github organization. Logging in with Github and Discord are passwordless options, meaning that we do not store your encrypted password - everything goes through them. Google Account login is coming soon.

### Partner Merge

Our partner, Erebus Hosting, has decided to merge with Dango Web Solutions. Erebus Hosting has offered cheap Bot and Game Hosting for our clients as well as theirs, however, they realized that the journey to becoming a web host is long, and have decided to merge with us. We welcome Erebus Hosting and its clients, and we will match all prices for customers.

### New Portal Theme

We've released our new Portal theme! With new backgrounds, designs, and features the Portal is looking sharp. Minor fixes will be published over the coming week. Take a look for yourself over at [portal.dangoweb.com/](https://portal.dangoweb.com/)!

  <img alt="New Dango Portal - Search" />
</Frame>

### Rate Limits

We have introduced rate limiting to our entire ecosystem, which will drastically reduce the impact of future DDoS, DoS, and similar attacks. Rate limiting applies to everything, including requests to our IP and DangoAPI. The new rate limit is generous, abusing our systems will get your IP automatically banned. If rate limiting is the reason your connection to the CMS is failing, create a ticket so we can whitelist your website.

### Reviews Moving to Trustpilot

We're requesting all new reviews be made on Trustpilot over at [www.trustpilot.com/review/dangoweb.com](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/dangoweb.com) instead of on our reviews channel on Discord. All reviews will end up displayed on our website, but it builds our needed reputation in the web hosting and website creation industry.

### New CMS Theme

We upgraded our CMS theme! Enjoy a new glassy view while managing your website - available now.

## Server Upgrades

### Database Migration

We moved the DangoID database to <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** for easier connectivity to the Portal. This migration ended the login with DangoID error on the Portal. We reconnected MyDangoID and DangoAPI to DangoID, and maintenance was completed.

### Provider Migration

In the latter part of the month, we migrated to another provider due to conflicts with our old one. Backups were taken, but importing them into the new provider threw errors due to the system using Apache instead of Nginx.

### Migration to XenReseller

We have completed migration to XenReseller, which grants us more control over our resellers. With this, web hosting account management will become easier.

### Server Migration

Along with new server upgrades, we have updated our IP to `38.46.219.156`! Everything has been migrated and nameservers are working again. The new server has improved networking, increased DDoS protection, NVMe SSD storage, and a much more powerful Ryzen CPU. Client sites and files should be served faster and smoother now. Server location has been moved to United States. Check it out!

## New Services

### cPanel for Resellers

The [cPanel](/web-hosting/cpanel) Control Panel is now available for new Web Hosting Resellers that sign up through us. Pricing plans will be available on the Portal next month.

### Bot & Game Hosting

Bot Hosting has been fixed and it has been added back to the Portal. With our new partnership with [Erebus Hosting](https://erebushosting.com/), we now offer affordable Minecraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Ark: Survival Evolved, Insurgency, Garrys Mod, Team Fortress 2, Rust, and GTA San Andreas Multiplayer Game Hosting. Both Bot and Game Hosting are available for purchase on [Dango Portal](https://portal.dangoweb.com/).

### Limited Reseller Web Hosting

We have released our limited version of Unlimited Reseller Web Hosting. The plan has been priced at \$5/mo and \$35/yr, and has lower limits compared to our Unlimited Reseller Web Hosting plan. The account has the ability to resell web hosting user accounts on <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**.

## Downtime

### DDoS Attack

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/212512).</Info>

We have suffered a DDoS Attack that has taken down all main websites using the CMS. The attack consisted of repeated requests, using up our plan quota, which resulted in an error for all main sites. User websites, data, and <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin** panel were not affected. A few days later, the attackers pushed with more DDoS attacks, and we shut down the websites and backend for DangoWeb, The Dango Group, and MyDangoID. We have identified the threat as a Level 7 DDoS Attack, and have enabled protection to counter it. We migrated all sites and backend to <Icon icon="https://mintcdn.com/dangowebsolutions/h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf/icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=h7v7ncdoSDUTq6Mf&q=85&s=c0de1870528a3e8f5ac7adc3d416a84a" /> **DirectAdmin**, and they are up and running. All sites have recovered as of June 1st, 2023. MyDangoID will start working as soon as the DDoS Attack is finished. The attacker's public post on the subject is [here](https://t.me/stresser2022/2279).

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/212512).</Info>

The DDoS Attack re-appeared, causing destruction to our websites yet again. We took 31 DDoS Attacks in 2 hours. The entirety of their presence has served a total of 753.92 million requests.

### Client DDoS Attacks

We have experienced hours of downtime this month due to DDoS attacks on clients. Our providers are working on upgrading their servers, and this should be completed by the end of the year. This upgrade should eliminate these issues and boost performance. If nothing changes after our provider upgrades their servers, we'll switch to our new partner for hosting.

### Failed Switch Upgrade

<Info>The outage log for this update is available [here](https://status.dangoweb.com/incident/291152).</Info>

An upstream network issue affecting the entire network has appeared, and we were informed that our server provider was doing a switch upgrade that had failed.

## What's Next?

### Domain, Game, and Bot Hosting Reseller

We plan on releasing a Domain Reseller program, which will allow you to resell domains to your clients. We also plan on releasing a Game and Bot Hosting Reseller program, which will allow you to resell Game and Bot Hosting to your clients. Both programs will be available for purchase on the Portal.

### Workspaces

Introducing Workspaces, a group account for your DangoID account. Invite your friends, family, or team members to manage websites, web hosting accounts, domains, emails, and more - all from MyDangoID. Of course, this means MyDangoID is getting a makeover with a new design, email invites, pages for each service, and lots, lots more. Included is a preview of the new dashboard design.

<Frame><img alt="Workspaces - Dark Mode" /></Frame>\\

  <img alt="Workspaces - Light Mode" />
</Frame>

### Dango Web Solutions for Education

Educational organizations, upon verifying validity, will receive **free Web Hosting Reseller for administration, and free Web Hosting for teachers and students**.

* Administration can manage teachers and students, and also can set up a website for themselves.
* Teachers can link a single domain and manage student websites and files, while students have access to their own website under their teacher's domain.
* Individual students will receive Web Hosting with no limits from teachers.

Contact us to see if you're eligible. Automatic verification will be available through the MyDangoID dashboard. All plans are limited. Available only in the USA.

### Lockdown Mode

Remotely lock pages on your DWS-made website with a password or PIN. This instantly locks pages and restricts access at the frontend, blocking users from seeing the page content. You will able to integrate your own system using DangoAPI, or use the DangoAPI bot for Discord and Telegram to do this remotely. Only the owner or Workspace administrator of the website will be able to use this feature. Available soon for new DWS-made Node.js webapps.

### Affiliates & Gold Dangos

Refer users to us, and for every purchase they make on the Portal, you'll receive *Gold Dangos*, which, unlike regular Dangos, can be used to buy Domains, Bot Hosting, Game Hosting, and other paid services.

The user must sign up using Discord, Google, or another provider to ensure that the user is not an alternative account. A purchase must be made in the first 2 days of account creation and they must have entered your affiliate code beforehand.

Users are only allowed to enter one affiliate code each, and purchases made for MyDangoID Workspaces are not counted. Gold Dangos may be shared within MyDangoID Workspaces.

You may manage your invite links, affiliate codes, and Gold Dangos from your Affiliate Dashboard. Gold Dangos will not be attainable through events and giveaways. The Domain Reseller program will also be a way to gain Gold Dangos.

### Game Hosting Planned Shutdown

Due to the number of members who have purchased Game Hosting, we may shut it down to drastically cut costs. Bot Hosting will still be available but at reduced specifications, as nobody has bought that either. If anyone plans on buying Game Hosting or Bot Hosting, please do it before we shut Game Hosting down. Thank you.

### WHMCS DangoAPI Endpoints

We plan on adding WHMCS integration to DangoAPI so products and key management can be used through the API you already use.

### Portal Revamp

We plan on revamping the Portal. The new version will have better product pages, commissions, invoicing, and ticketing.

📅 Published February 1st, 2024 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Price Drop

Prices dropping soon! Unlimited Web Hosting Reseller and 24/7 Bot Hosting prices will decrease. Applies to current customers and future customers.

# February Monthly Newsletter
Source: https://docs.dangoweb.com/news/2024-3

In this issue: new payment gateways, nameservers, API endpoints, and more.

📅 Published March 1st, 2024 by [Faisal N](https://faisaln.com/)

## Wise Payment Gateway

We now accept international payments through Wise. If PayPal isn't your preferred way to pay, payment through Wise is now available. Subscriptions (Web Hosting, CMS, etc.) will not be available as Wise does not support this. Higher fees and exchange rates apply.

## New DangoAPI Endpoints

POST `/cms/{site_id}` -- Fetch public CMS site data, private by default.

Read more at the DangoAPI documentation: [/dangoapi/endpoints#cms](/dangoapi/endpoints#cms)

## Public CMS API Access

The new addition of public CMS access on DangoAPI allows for websites to integrate with CMS data using static websites instead of larger bulky Node.js web apps. Using the public API exposes website data, ensure site content does not include API keys or passwords.

## Freenom Shutting Down?

Popular free domain Freenom was recently exposed for selling and distributing domains for free, against world TLD terms. They started with their .ml and .ga TLDs being forcibly removed. Today, we received an alert telling us that all domains registered on Freenom have been cancelled and can no longer be reviewed. This was not formally announced by Freenom, they have yet to say anything in this topic. Additionally, existing domains have been marked as pending, which may mean pending deletion from the system.

## CMS Temporary Login

When we first create your CMS account, and when you request a password reset, we will send you a temporary key instead of your password. This key can be used when selecting the Temporary Login tab on the CMS login page. Once you gain access to your account, reset your password immediately to reset your temporary key.

## CMS Terms Update

A notice has been posted on the CMS for a few months now about violation of ToS. Those terms will be updated soon to include the CMS and Website & Bot Commissions. Violation of any terms will result in site deactivation. CMS is also considered a service with us, so leaving this server (whether voluntary or forced) will lead to immediate deletion.

## Pay with Crypto

Cryptocurrency payments are back! On orders of \$10 or more, you may choose to pay with Crypto instead of USD. Create a ticket to pay. Added double gas fees apply. Successful transactions only. We are not responsible for any crypto lost during exchange.

## New Nameservers

We have deployed new nameservers, `ns1.dangoweb.com` and `ns2.dangoweb.com`. Our old nameservers will still work normally for existing users. All new users will be set to these nameservers.
