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. 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.

​

SSL Certificate Renewal Error

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. This template is available in static HTML, CSS, and JS, ready to be edited and published to any web hosting service. Alternately, host Bulk as a Node.js web app with full Express.js backend route support with EJS templating for easy editing of header and footer consistent elements - without Next.js hassles or Node.js version requirements. Add CMS integration for no-code website editing, image uploading, and page creation with unlimited collaborators - available in both static and web app versions for a setup period and setup fee.

Bulk is available for preview at faisaln.com/templates/bulk.
