August 13, 2024 – Version 3.1 of Platform i Managed WordPress has arrived! This is a major release with many new features, both in the Platform i interface and on the Managed WordPress UltraStack VPS.
New Features
The latest version of Platform i is out with several new improvements including a new look for our UI! Lets explore all the changes and updates.
Language Expansions
We’re thrilled to announce that our site is now available in multiple languages, making it easier for our global users to enjoy an enhanced experience.
You can now access the Platform i interface in English, French, German, Spanish, and Hindi.
We’re committed to further expanding language options in the future, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all our users. Stay tuned for more updates!
Teams and Interface Updates
We’re excited to unveil our new look! With this release, projects are now displayed by Teams, making it easier for you to navigate directly to the projects that matter most to your current team.
We’ve also streamlined the purchasing process to ensure that new plans or additions are always tied to your currently active team, so you can make purchases with confidence.
Should you need to allocate the purchase to a different team, you can effortlessly do so via a convenient drop-down menu. This enhancement is designed to boost efficiency and ensure that purchases are correctly attributed, making your experience with Central even more intuitive and user-friendly.
Team Subscriptions
You can now seamlessly switch between teams by clicking the “My Teams” dropdown located next to your profile photo.
Additionally, we’ve updated the subscriptions page for improved organization. Subscriptions are now sorted by the nearest renewal time, and you can conveniently resize your server directly from the subscriptions page.

Version 3.1 introduces new TLDs to our domain search and checkout, giving you even more options when selecting the perfect domain to match your business brand.
