📢 Cloud 66 Prepress v2 Release

Cloud 66 Prepress is a No Ops tool for deploying static sites. These are the changes that went out with a latest release:

  • More cloud providers

Prepress now supports Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Linode as well as AWS. With this wide range of cloud providers, you have more options for deploying your site as well as benefitting from lower prices for your storage and traffic.

  • Import from Netlify

Prepress now detects if your site uses Netlify redirect files and automatically imports all your redirect and rewrite rules into your new site, with every deployment.

  • LiveLogs

Requests to your Prepress sites can be monitored in real-time. LiveLogs include not just host and path, but also the visitor's IP address, ISP, country, city, browser, OS, and other user agent information with high accuracy.

  • Secure by default

All sites deployed with Prepress are now protected by SSL certificates from day one, including full and simple support for custom domains.

  • More frameworks

Prepress now supports more frameworks: Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Next.js, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, Svelte, Middleman, and Docusaurus v1 and v2 and we will be adding even more soon.

  • Prepress Webflow

Webflow is a completely new way to control traffic before it reaches your site.

Using Webflow rules, you can not only redirect and rewrite traffic based on paths or domains but also based on the country of origin, type of OS or browser, or even the internet service provider that your visitors use! With Webflow, you can send traffic from Italy to an Italian version of your site, traffic from mobile devices to a mobile-friendly site, and traffic from Apple computers to a version of the site that's tailored for Apple OS X.

Here are some examples:

 Block {
   when: origin.country_code == "GB" ||
   inRange(origin.ip, "86.10.40.0/24") ||
   request.user_agent.client.family == "Chrome",
   message: "Use a different browser when connecting from the UK",
 }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 Redirect {
   from: "^/",
   to: "/mobile/apple/",
   with: permanent,
   when: request.user_agent.os.family == "iOS",
 }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Webflow uses Common Expression Language (CEL) to provide maximum flexibility to control the flow of traffic to your websites. By building Webflow on top of CEL, we have built the foundation of many more great features to come this year.

  • Pricing 🎉🎉🎉

Static sites are important, but shouldn't break the bank. You shouldn't be paying more, just because you want your marketing team to update your site. That's why Prepress pricing is simple and affordable. Each Prepress site costs $1.99 per month + $0.095 per GB of outbound traffic, that's it!

Deploy Happy!
