Ehm. There are icons of distributions and versions. The versions of every distribution is sorted from lower to higher. Quite the same imho.

There are icons of distributions and versions.
- Yes, it looks happy with icons but harder to scan than just a sorted list like the old dropdown or a simple table

There is the search bar on top (could be better visible)
-> yes, it's invisable and still doesnt' show what server you are working on in the list, so sleeting the next is still harder then the left bar.

"obviously managing the firewall of the server", "obviously sets the firewall at the virtual LAN port"
-> yes, witch one.. on the server or the lan port, it doesn't state it.

"This part isn't different from before"
-> it was and is convuisuing to show a password on load that is (luckly) not the actual password

"This post was a little better, but still too much lamenting and too little solution providing"
Well, in general, I simply dislike the whole change, and that is my opinion. Prices go up, usability goes down. I am not required to help you out or spend my time fixing design errors for anyone but my own clients. Let's agree to disagree on whether this is an improvement in any way, because I don't think it is. It's fine; the majority of our servers are not hosted at Netcup i was just trying to signal this might nog have been the direction to take (atleast not for me, and i'm still a client). If you want to use github go ahead, not sure what it has to do with anyting.

Cheers

Suggestions of the SCP (Server Control Panel) – neues UI subforum have been implemented extremly fast and fully and I guess Netcup will continue to do so.

Instead of "I don't like it, it is so baaaad" (all I hear with such posts is "mimimi" ), which is not actionable information, start a thread (like a Github issue) and write down what you want to have changed and why.

And while doing that, appreciate the fact, that Netcup is developing its control panel in close contact with the community. I have NEVER EVER seen such a thing anywhere else.

• The list of "Official Images" is harder to scan than the previous simple dropdown of ordered by version.
• The left sidebar is missing. We can no longer easily update all of our servers one by one. Repeating tasks now require extra clicks, and the sidebar overview showing "Which server am I on?" is gone. A workaround could be to add a dropdown on the server page that lists all 50 servers in order, including the currently selected one, so we can still work through them sequentially. However, this is far less convenient than the sidebar. If you mostly host small users with 1-2 servers, then i undestand. If you host many pro users 10+ servers, left bar is way better.
• The Firewall section is unclear. What does it manage? Does it affect the server firewall, the root VPS firewall, or the router? What exactly are we editing here?
• The Root Access Password section has a "Show Password" button, but the password being shown is not the actual root password (nor should it be). The field should be empty by default. Right now, it displays a non-existent password. It should only show a value after clicking "Generate".
• I dislike the Teletubby-style colours. They are harder to read and make the interface look unprofessional. (Yes, this is subjective. But i need to unboard clients, they expect more..) This is my main issue with the new interface, the look.
• Why aren't all the basic statistics shown on a single page? Why make users click so much? Statistics like CPU, Disk IOPS, Network PPS, and Network Bytes are primarily used for quick scanning. The information from these tabs could easily be displayed on the main statistics page without requiring additional tabs or clicks. Unless maybe you expect to
  
  i'm not willing to spend more time on it, "all I hear with such posts is "mimimi"; yes, i'm paying customer, i can do mimimi i'm not required to go to a forum and help them build someting they already had. They took away something i was paying for, so yes, mimimi.

The outdated look of the old panel was almost always listed as a negative thing in VPS Provider Reviews.

Even in my personal environment. A friend of mine decided against Netcup because he did not like the look of the old panel.

How many people said this when Windows XP released and how many people say today they still want Windows XP back?

I'm confused. I thought outdated UI designs are not a problem for you?

"How many people said this when Windows XP was released, and how many people today say they still want Windows XP back?"
-> None. Exactly the point, right!?

"I'm confused. I thought outdated UI designs are not a problem for you."
-> They're not, but going from a bit outdated to really outdated -for something I'm already paying- for is the wrong way around. Like with servers, I expect upgrades, not downgrades.

"Even in my personal environment. A friend of mine decided against Netcup because he did not like the look of the old panel."
-> This is exactly what my clients are telling me now after I previously pointed them to Netcup: "What happened to Netcup? You told me they were professional." So I'm not too happy.

You can be mad at me for giving my two cents, that's fine. I simply don't understand how a great hosting provider like Netcup can come up with a server management panel like this. That's its ugly and hard to read is one thing (personal, fine), but that functionality/management is now worse is just stupid.

Why did we go from a perfectly fine professional server management panel that was maybe a bit out-dated to Teletubby Land?

• Where is the left sidebar where we could easily switch between servers? It perfect when making changes one server at a time.
• Where are the readable text and colors? I can barely read the names of my servers in the main list.
• Where is the nice, compact UI where you can manage servers fast?

Sorry, but this new panel is 100% a step backward and feels like a UI design from 15 years ago. I really do not understand this change. If design isn't your strength (which is fine, you're not a design company), you should have gone with shadcn or another established design system instead.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you have real clients, including professional users. With the new UI , everything takes more time because it's scattered all over the place. I applaud change and new features when they're for the better. It's not that i would quit netcup bc of it, but with professional competitors it's less compelling to use.

Hello,

If i have (root) servers at 2 diffrent locations, can they still connect on the internal network or do i need to have them in 1 location?
