xCloud Introduces Site Rules for Easily Managing HTTP Headers & Redirects

xCloud has introduced Site Rules, Bulk NGINX Customization and Site-Level Cron Job Management to its managed cloud hosting and server management platform.

New: Site Rules

If you want to add a security header or set up a redirect, you usually have to edit NGINX config files manually. However, even a small mistake can cause issues. Site Rules offers a safer and easier alternative, enabling you to manage HTTP headers and redirects for your WordPress sites directly from the dashboard.

Using Site Rules, you can now:

• Create and manage HTTP header rules without having to edit the NGINX configuration file manually.
• Add 301 or 302 redirects directly from the xCloud dashboard.
• Use conditions based on hostname, URI, query string or device type.
• Apply common security headers faster with built-in presets.
• Test rules before saving to validate the syntax safely.

What’s More?

xCloud has also introduced Bulk NGINX Customization. This allows you to set up custom NGINX configurations on a server for multiple sites without having to edit each site individually.

You can now also restore a WordPress backup directly to another existing site on any server without rebuilding from scratch.

With Site-Level Cron Job Management, you can Create, edit, delete and monitor cron jobs for your site without SSH access.

Finally, with staging hook scripts, you can add custom post-pull and post-push hook scripts in staging management to automatically run bash commands after each sync.
