A shorter checkout, and a client area that works on a phone

Two things changed at my.maxinodes.com over the past week: how you order, and what you see after you log in. Both were the stock look of the billing software with our colours painted on. Now they follow one set of rules.

Ordering: four screens instead of six#

Pick a plan, choose or bring a domain, review, pay. The billing cycle is chosen on the domain step, next to the plan you picked, rather than on a screen of its own. Two configuration screens that existed only because the software offered them are gone. Nothing you could buy before has been removed; you just aren't asked about it twice.

The checkout asks for less#

Name, email, address and a password. A phone number is required only when a domain is in the order, because registries insist on one. Company name sits behind a link for those who need it on the invoice. A state or province field appears only for countries that have them. If something is missing, the message shows under the field rather than at the top of the page, and your order total stays beside the form the whole way. Payment methods are listed by what they are; there are more of them now.

One client area, on any screen#

Buttons, cards, tables, menus and status labels now share one design with the checkout, in English and Russian alike. On a phone, tables turn into stacked cards instead of a sideways scroll, the menu was rebuilt with the account first and the marketing links last, and the cPanel management pages, where you handle email accounts and databases, can be worked with a thumb. Every page has a proper title, and the addresses are readable: the domain price list lives at /domain/pricing, not behind a query string.

Domains got their own landing: search for a new name, transfer one you already own, or open the price list per extension.

What did not change#

The software underneath is the same. No data moved, your login is the same, and nothing about your hosting was touched. If a page looks wrong on your phone, send us a screenshot; the phone work is the part most likely to have a corner we missed.
