Reintroduce High-Frequency CPUs

First, I must say I love Webdock, the additional tooling that is provided, the clear API, and also the transparency related to issues appearing and the speed at which issues are solved. Now, unfortunately, I heard the Ryzen product line is discontinued. I think the Ryzen offering made Webdock very competitive. High-frequency CPUs and a sustainable hosting provider are a great combination. Either having slow Xeons for an incredible price or having incredibly fast Ryzen for also an incredible price/value made Webdock stand out. The new Epyc offering is somewhat in between those two but with pricing very similar to the former Ryzen plans (about 7% cheaper). In my initial benchmarking, the Epyc servers unfortunately perform 30-50% slower than the Ryzen counterparts for WordPress/SQL workloads. The performance is also very close to Hetzner’s AMD offering now, which is offered for a much lower price and generally has better uptime in my experience. I hope Webdock will reintroduce high-frequency CPUs, such as the high-frequency Epyc counterparts of Ryzen or other Ryzen CPUs (e.g. the 7900 or 9900 provide a lot of speed against relatively advantageous power usage, compared to top-of-the-line 7950x/9950x). There are other sustainable providers out there who offer Ryzen hosting at similar price levels, but they are unfortunately not as catered to developers as Webdock. So I really would like Webdock to offer high-frequency plans again. Addendum: some benchmark data, benchmarked on Xeon 2c/4GB, Epyc 2c/4gb and Ryzen 2c/4gb, using the default WordPress installation WordPress Post Query Test Inserting, Querying, Deleting 10000 posts Ryzen: 20.9 seconds Epyc: 30.7 seconds Xeon: 116,7 seconds WordPress Benchmark Plugin - Test PHP, SQL, Disk and Network Performance Ryzen: 9.4 overall score (PHP, SQL, File & Network tests are all significantly faster) Epyc: 7.6 score Xeon: 7.4 score (SQL and PHP are slower than Epyc here, the rest is similar) WordPress Performance Tester - WordPress Benchmark Plugin Ryzen: 6.003 score (lower is better) Epyc: 9.278 score Xeon: 10.399 score h2load load tester - requests per second the server can handle Ryzen: 83.79 requests / second Epyc: 65.55 requests / second Xeon: 35.27 requests / second

💡 Feature Request

Planned

Allow custom Icons and "What is installed here" strings

On the servers metadata we can choose “what is installed here”, which allows for a limited set of services with icons. I would like to: A) be able to add my own icon (perhaps a png or ico file or whatever you would deem adequate, could even be a more well packed library of icons) B) Provide my own “string”, that is, the name of “what is installed here” For example - there is no “WireGuard”, which is a pretty common service. Or “MailCow”. Or “else”. Like… what if my own CMS is installed there? Or a AspirePress Cloud instance? It would be really awesome (but of course no showstopper if not) to have more control over what is shown and addable there. Thanks!

Suggestions to improve Account Validation Experience

I'd have an improvement suggestion to make this process less fragile: - let the user log in even if their email address hasn't been verified yet (this would also solve the pw right/wrong indication issue) - when a new user creates a new account, keep it in a 'limited' state (before asking for credit card data for example...) to make it obvious that the email has not been verified yet. - right beside the email address please provide a "Resend verification email" button which the user could press without support staff intervention - in case existing users changing their email address, keep the original one fully active as long as the new one has not been not verified successfully.
