Hypervisor is now VirtConsole - same panel, a name you can actually search for (v3.2.0)

BharatBBharatB Patron Provider, Veteran

Some of you know our panel as Hypervisor - the KVM/Proxmox control panel a few LET providers run their fleets on. We renamed it. Hypervisor is now VirtConsole, and 3.2.0 is the first release carrying the new name.

Why? Honestly: even though LET community did suggest against it, we picked the most generic word in virtualization and paid for it daily. You can't Google the product, reviews of us return VMware docs, and in our own manual "the hypervisor" could mean the product or the KVM host it manages. Full reasoning: https://virtconsole.com/blog/rebranding-to-virtconsole

What does NOT change (before anyone asks):

  • Your license, pricing and terms - untouched
  • Running installs keep working; updates via the same in-panel updater
  • hypervisor.io endpoints keep answering through the whole transition
  • Same team, same codebase, same roadmap

What's new in 3.2.0 besides the name:

  • Windows SPLA licensing - enter your keys once, Windows guests activate on deploy, keys never reach the guest or the customer
  • Managed SSL - account-level certs, SNI multi-cert on managed LBs, Let's Encrypt issue/renew + expiry alerts
  • Built-in support desk - SLA tracking, scanned attachments, optional AI triage
  • Import Doctor - pull VMs in from other platforms (Windows included); driver/boot issues detected and repaired offline so they boot first try
  • System DNS - host public zones, with delegation checks that tell you exactly what's misconfigured
  • One installer for Debian 11/12/13, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04, RHEL-family 9/10

Fresh install (as root - no sudo needed, minimal Debian friendly):

curl -fsSL https://packages.virtconsole.com/master/install.sh | bash

Existing installs move to the new layout with one command per node (hypervisor nodes first, then panel) - VMs, data, license and pricing preserved:

curl -fsSL https://packages.virtconsole.com/virtconsole-migrate.sh | DEPLOY_RELEASE=1 bash

Full feature set on every plan, from $2/hypervisor/month, free trial: https://virtconsole.com

Happy to answer anything here - stack questions, migration from Virtualizor/SolusVM/Proxmox, feature requests.
