Releases
March 2024
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 asportal.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.
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.

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.

November 2024
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. 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.

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
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. We removed advertisements from our homepage, dangoweb.com, allowing users to browse the site without distractions.February 2024
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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
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
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
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 and will serve as a domain registration interface, product management page, and support/ticketing system alongside MyDangoID.December 2024
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.
