Foxpress Cloud: New Name, New Infrastructure, Better Performance

We are excited to announce that foxpress.io is now foxpress.cloud. This rebrand reflects a major infrastructure upgrade designed to deliver faster, more reliable hosting for all of our clients.

What Changed

Over the past two weeks, we completed a full migration to a brand new dedicated server with significantly more power and capacity:

• Dedicated hardware with enterprise-grade processing power and memory, a major step up from our previous shared hosting environment
• Per-account resource isolation, so one busy site on the server never slows down yours
• Broad PHP compatibility, supporting older and newer websites alike, with the latest stable version as the default
• Faster databases and an up-to-date web server with the latest security patches

Security Improvements

Your sites are now protected by multiple layers of security:

• Active firewall with real-time threat detection and automatic blocking of malicious traffic
• Custom threat scanner running around the clock, catching suspicious activity before it becomes a problem
• Brute force protection on all login pages
• Free SSL certificates automatically issued for every domain
• Bot and scraper filtering to reduce unwanted traffic and keep your site running smoothly

Performance Optimizations

• Page caching enabled across WordPress sites for noticeably faster load times
• Optimized background processing to reduce server overhead
• Streamlined server configuration tuned for speed and stability

Daily Backups

Every account is backed up daily, with copies stored both on the server and in a secure remote location. If something ever goes wrong, we can restore your site, database, or email quickly. Learn more about our backup coverage.

Monitoring and Reliability

We have built a comprehensive monitoring system that watches your sites around the clock:

• Uptime monitors checking your sites every few minutes
• Individual status pages for every account
• Automated alerting so we know about issues before you do
• Server health dashboard tracking performance metrics around the clock

Foxpress Support

Whether you need help with your website, email, or anything in between, our support team is ready to assist. We also offer Website Care Plans for clients who want hands-on help with updates, security, and performance. View our support plans, or open a support ticket any time.

Canadian Hosting

Your data is hosted in Canada, on Canadian infrastructure. This means your sites benefit from Canadian data privacy laws, including PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25. For businesses that need to keep customer data in Canada, this matters. Learn more about our Canadian hosting.

Powered by Renewable Energy

Our data centre is powered by renewable hydroelectric energy. Hosting your website with Foxpress Cloud means a smaller environmental footprint without compromising on performance. Learn more about our green hosting commitment.

New Nameservers

Our nameservers have been updated to:

• ns1.foxpress.net
• ns2.foxpress.net

If you manage your own DNS, please update the following records to point to our new server:

• Your primary domain A record (e.g. yourdomain.com) should point to 51.79.99.22
• Your www record (A or CNAME) should also point to 51.79.99.22 (or CNAME to your primary domain)
• The same applies to any additional domains hosted on your account

If you are unsure whether this applies to you, feel free to reach out and we will help.

What This Means for You

In most cases, you do not need to do anything. Your sites, email, and databases have all been migrated and are running on the new infrastructure. You should notice faster load times, improved reliability, and a more responsive hosting experience overall.

If you have any questions or notice anything unusual, please do not hesitate to open a support ticket. We are here to help.

Thank you for choosing Foxpress Cloud.
