This week's release
Welcome to the NexioHost changelog. Here’s what’s new across our Discord bot hosting, Lavalink nodes, and managed database services.
New features
- Self-serve game panel password reset. You can now reset your game panel password directly from the Client Area under Account → Security — no support ticket or email required. A fresh password is applied to your panel instantly. See Game panel password reset.
- One-click service renewal. Renew any expiring service with a single click via the new Restore Service button in the Client Area. Renewal is applied instantly with no interruption. See Service renewal.
- Cryptocurrency payments. You can now pay for hosting with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT, alongside existing card, PayPal, and UPI options. See Billing & account.
Updates
- Zero-downtime plan upgrades. Upgrades and downgrades are now applied instantly — your bot keeps running while resources are re-allocated. Change plans anytime from the Client Area.
- Automatic renewal reminders. We now send email reminders as your renewal date approaches so nothing lapses unexpectedly.
- Expanded Lavalink client support. Lavalink nodes now officially support Shoukaku, Erela.js, Magmastream, Poru, wavelink, Pomice, LavaClient, Koe, and disgolink across JavaScript, Python, Java/Kotlin, and Go. See Services.
- DDoS protection on the free tier. Enterprise-grade network protection is now included on every plan, including the free tier — no upgrade required.
Fixes
- Auto crash restart now reliably brings your bot back online without manual intervention if it exits unexpectedly.
- Improved reliability of the real-time console output in the service panel.
