Eenos release notes - 5.0

Introducing Eenos 5: A Major Step Forward in Web Hosting Management

A powerful new release featuring multi-panel server migration, WordPress management, advanced DNS controls, enhanced email security, and improved hosting automation.

We are pleased to introduce Eenos 5, a major release of the Eenos web hosting control panel that brings significant enhancements to server administration, website management, email services, security, and hosting account migration.

This release introduces several new management tools, expands existing capabilities, and improves the overall hosting experience for server administrators, hosting providers, resellers, and website owners.

From migrating hosting accounts across different control panels to managing WordPress installations and monitoring email delivery, Eenos 5 provides a more comprehensive environment for modern web hosting operations.

What's New in Eenos 5?

1. New Transfer Manager — Simplified Hosting Migration

Eenos 5 introduces a comprehensive Transfer Manager, designed to simplify migrations from other hosting control panels.

The new migration system supports:

• cPanel/WHM to Eenos
• DirectAdmin to Eenos
• Plesk to Eenos
• Eenos to Eenos

Each supported platform has a dedicated migration wizard that guides administrators through source-server connection, package selection, account discovery, conflict checking, and migration configuration.

Key features include:

• Secure SSH-based connections to source servers.
• Independent selection of hosting packages and accounts.
• Automatic conversion of supported hosting configurations into the native Eenos format.
• Migration of supported websites, databases, email accounts, DNS configurations, and scheduled tasks.
• Reseller and account ownership preservation where supported.
• Parallel transfer and restoration with resource-aware worker limits.
• Live migration progress, account-level status, logs, and reports.
• Optional source-server DNS updates after successful migration.
• Background processing that continues after the browser is closed.
• Automatic cleanup of temporary staging data.

The Transfer Manager is one of the most significant additions to Eenos 5, helping administrators consolidate hosting infrastructure and move accounts between supported platforms.

2. WordPress Toolkit — Complete WordPress Management

Eenos 5 introduces the WordPress Toolkit, integrated into the hosting user control panel through AppForge.

Website owners can install, discover, manage, secure, update, and back up WordPress websites directly from Eenos.

WordPress Toolkit highlights:

• Install WordPress on existing domains or newly created subdomains.
• Select the WordPress language and compatible PHP version.
• Discover existing WordPress installations and register selected websites.
• Manage multiple installations through searchable card and list views.
• Update WordPress core, plugins, and themes.
• Configure automatic update policies.
• Install, activate, deactivate, and remove plugins.
• Manage WordPress themes and site settings.
• Access WordPress administration through secure quick login.
• Monitor website health, database connectivity, and SSL status.
• Manage WordPress security and administrator access.
• Create, download, and restore website backups.
• Monitor background operations and installation progress.

The Toolkit includes dedicated management sections for Overview, Updates, Plugins, Themes, Security, Tools, Settings, and Backups.

With this integration, Eenos provides a unified interface for hosting account management and WordPress administration.

3. Redesigned DNS Manager with 20 Record Types

Eenos 5 delivers a redesigned DNS management experience across the administrator, reseller, and hosting user panels.

The new DNS Manager v2 provides a modern, responsive interface with improved record management, validation, and zone configuration.

Key improvements include:

• Support for 20 DNS record types in administrator and reseller management.
• Add, edit, and delete individual DNS records.
• Search and filter DNS records by type.
• Manage SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies.
• Download DNS zones in standard zone-file or YAML formats.
• Manage DNS templates and nameserver configurations.
• Improved IPv4 and IPv6 support.
• DNS change validation and conflict detection.
• Safer DNS configuration deployment with rollback support.
• Dedicated DNS management capabilities for resellers.

The redesigned interface also includes dark-mode support, responsive tables, and clearer DNS record controls.

4. Internationalized Domain Name Support

Eenos 5 expands support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) across its hosting management interfaces.

Administrators and website owners can work with supported domain names containing international characters while Eenos handles the required Punycode conversion internally.

IDN integration covers supported account, domain, DNS, email, SSL/TLS, application, and related management operations.

This enhancement makes Eenos more accessible to hosting providers serving multilingual and international markets.

5. Enhanced Email Security and SMTP Management

Email administration receives extensive improvements in Eenos 5.

The updated Exim management tools provide more control over SMTP connections, message routing, delivery restrictions, and email security policies.

Major improvements include:

• New SMTP Access Control dashboard.
• Management of trusted and blocked SMTP IP addresses.
• Sender verification exceptions and recipient-only verification policies.
• Blocked sender-domain management.
• Country-based SMTP connection blocking.
• Configurable SMTP command limits.
• SMTP greeting and recipient delays.
• Improved DKIM verification handling.
• Enhanced spam scanning and failure handling.
• More reliable Exim configuration validation and rollback.

The country-blocking interface supports selections from 240 installed country/code datasets, with IPv4 and IPv6 network handling.

These improvements give administrators more flexibility when configuring SMTP security and access policies.

6. SMTP Smart Host — Flexible Outbound Email Routing

Eenos 5 introduces expanded SMTP Smart Host capabilities.

Administrators can configure an external SMTP relay for outbound mail, while supported domains can use individual relay configurations.

Features include:

• Global outbound SMTP relay configuration.
• Per-domain SMTP Smart Host management.
• Hosting-user domain relay controls.
• SMTP authentication and encrypted relay connections.
• TLS certificate verification.
• Connection testing.
• Secure management of stored relay credentials.
• Relay configuration enable, disable, and removal controls.
• Integration with existing DKIM signing and email sending limits.

The system supports domain-specific routing policies while preserving existing local delivery and authentication rules.

This is particularly useful for hosting environments that need external email delivery providers or separate outbound relay configurations for individual domains.

7. Email Sending Limits and Delivery Monitoring

Eenos 5 introduces improved tools for controlling outbound email usage and monitoring delivery activity.

Email Sending Limits

Administrators can configure outgoing recipient limits and failed/deferred delivery thresholds.

Limits can be configured through global settings, hosting packages, hosting accounts, and individual domains.

The system includes:

• Rolling-hour outgoing recipient limits.
• Delivery failure percentage restrictions.
• Usage and remaining allowance reporting.
• Domain-level limit management.
• Automatic enforcement through Exim.
• SQLite-based accounting of accepted and delivered messages.

Email Delivery Tracking

The new MailTrack subsystem provides detailed email delivery history in both the administrator and hosting user panels.

Features include:

• Searchable email delivery records.
• Delivered, deferred, and failed message tracking.
• Recipient-level delivery timelines.
• Message submission and delivery details.
• Filtering and pagination.
• Historical delivery summaries.
• Protected access to account-specific delivery information.

These capabilities help administrators investigate email delivery issues and provide hosting customers with greater visibility into their email activity.

8. Improved CloudLinux Integration

Eenos 5 expands CloudLinux management through additional resource controls and more consistent account-level configuration.

Enhancements include:

• Inode soft and hard limits.
• MySQL Governor CPU and I/O limits.
• CageFS configuration support.
• Improved CloudLinux resource application.
• Resource handling during account package changes.
• CloudLinux settings integration with supported migration and restoration workflows.

These improvements help hosting providers manage resource isolation and maintain consistent account settings across supported CloudLinux environments.

9. Backup, Restore, and Reliability Improvements

Beyond its major new features, Eenos 5 includes important improvements to account restoration, permission handling, and operational reliability.

Highlights include:

• More accurate backup restoration failure reporting.
• Improved detection of incomplete file synchronization.
• Safer restoration of hosting account permissions.
• Better preservation of supported database authentication settings.
• Improved restore logging and error handling.
• More reliable background operation recovery.
• Safer configuration updates and rollback handling.
• Improved account migration verification and temporary-file cleanup.

These changes strengthen essential hosting management operations and help administrators identify and resolve failures more effectively.

A Better Experience for Administrators, Resellers, and Website Owners

Eenos 5 brings together several improvements across its management interfaces.

Administrators benefit from expanded migration, DNS, email, and server management tools.

Resellers gain improved DNS controls and hosting package configuration capabilities.

Website owners receive new WordPress management features, improved email monitoring, and expanded domain-level administration.

The updated interfaces follow the Eenos design system, with responsive layouts, consistent navigation, dark-mode support, and clearer background-operation feedback.

Upgrading to Eenos 5

Eenos 5 introduces significant new capabilities and changes to several core management components.

Administrators should review applicable upgrade documentation, package requirements, and service configuration changes before updating production systems.

Particular attention should be given to existing DNS configurations, Exim templates, and optional integrations such as CloudLinux.

We recommend creating appropriate backups and verifying service configurations as part of the upgrade process.
