6.1.0
March 12, 2025
Starting from this version, VPSSIM officially adopts Vietnamese with diacritics for the Vietnamese interface. This change makes VPSSIM significantly more user-friendly and intuitive, enhancing the overall experience.
After monitoring user behavior for a while, I noticed that most users decide whether to continue using VPSSIM within just a few days, rather than waiting for the full 30-day trial period. Therefore, I have adjusted the trial duration from 30 days to 7 days to streamline the experience and help users make decisions faster.
This change takes effect immediately, including for those who are still within their 30-day trial period but have not yet expired. Since this is a system-wide adjustment, individual modifications are not possible—thank you for your understanding.

6.0.3
January 14, 2025
Added
Add the "Nginx Configuration (Error Pages...)" feature to the main VPSSIM menu. This section currently includes three functions: 1. Server Data Compression Configuration (gzip/Brotli), 2. Customize Error Pages 403, 404, 502, 503..., and 3. Add Domain Nginx Vhost Traffic Status.
Added
Add the "Server Data Compression Configuration (Gzip/Brotli)" feature. This feature works with Nginx-More, helping to speed up website loading when Brotli compression is enabled on the server. Using this feature, you can choose between gzip or Brotli compression modes for the server. For detailed usage instructions, refer to: https://how.vpssim.com/d/45
Added
Add the "Add Domain Nginx Vhost Traffic Status" feature, allowing domains to be added based on the Nginx VTS module, helping you monitor detailed status and performance of Nginx for each domain on the server. For detailed instructions on this feature, refer to: https://how.vpssim.com/d/47
Updated
Move the "Customize Error Pages 403, 404, 502, 503..." function from the Add Website & Code section to the Nginx Configuration (Error Pages...) section.

6.0.2
January 11, 2025
Added
Add the "Clear Domain Cache On CloudFlare" feature. Path to this feature: VPSSIM menu => Clear Caches/Autorun VPSSIM => Clear Domain Cache On CloudFlare. Refer to the usage guide for this feature at: https://how.vpssim.com/d/22

6.0.1
January 7, 2025
Fixed
Fix the issue where VPSSIM cannot be installed on a new server in version 6.0.0.
Fixed
Fix the language switch function bug for ARM CPU servers. This is a critical bug because I forgot to adjust the VPSSIM download link for the ARM CPU version. While it works fine on Intel CPUs, on ARM CPUs, the language switch causes VPSSIM to fail because the Intel version is downloaded instead of the ARM version. Users with ARM CPU servers must update to this version.
6.0.0
January 6, 2025
The New VPSSIM 6.0
This is the most powerful update for VPSSIM ever. For those who have used VPSSIM before, VPSSIM 6.0 is a complete transformation compared to previous versions.
There are so many updates in this release that I will only list a few here.
Added
Add the "Add Website + Flarum" feature.
Added
Add the "Custom Error Pages 403, 404, 502, 503..." feature.

Updated
Add more detailed information in the Server Management Info feature.
Added
Support for HTTP/3 (QUIC) with SSL-configured websites starting from version 6.0.0.

5.2.3
January 4, 2025
Fixed
Fix some remaining minor bugs.
Compatibility
I've added support for RHEL 8 (AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8, Oracle Linux 8...) for servers using ARM CPUs. However, with ARM CPU servers, you cannot install the Nginx-more option and you can only choose between the stable or mainline versions of Nginx. If you want to use Nginx-more, you should opt for RHEL 9. (This isn't because of me, but because Nginx-more doesn't support it.)
5.2.2
December 2, 2024
Removed
Simultaneously, VPSSIM-Server has been replaced with Nginx server in the nginx.service configuration file. From now on, when users access the server's IP address or a newly added domain (only for domains added to the server without code deployment), there will be no information or links related to VPSSIM appearing. Naturally, these changes apply only to newly installed servers or to old servers where new domains are added using VPSSIM from version 5.2.2 onwards.
Removed
In this version, I did not add any new features or fix any bugs. Instead, I revised the content of two notification pages: the server installation completion page and the page notifying the successful addition of a website to the server. I have completely removed all links or content related to VPSSIM.COM and VPSSIM.NET from both pages.
5.2.1
December 1, 2024
Updated
VPSSIM officially supports ARM CPUs. From this version, if you have a server with an ARM CPU, you can install the server using VPSSIM. Currently, VPSSIM only supports RHEL 9 (AlmaLinux 9, RockyLinux 9, CentOS 9, and Oracle Linux 9) with ARM CPUs, so please take note when installing.
Updated
Increase the maximum number of characters for database passwords to 32.
Updated
Simplified the process of checking the free SSL installation for websites. In previous versions, VPSSIM had stringent checks, sometimes requiring more than one attempt to get SSL for the website. Now, SSL installation will be quicker.
5.2.0
November 28, 2024
Improved
Enhance VPSSIM's interface to look better on terminal screens.
Compatibility
VPSSIM now supports CentOS 8, AlmaLinux 8, Oracle Linux (8 & 9), and RockyLinux 8. For RHEL 8, the lowest PHP version VPSSIM supports is PHP 7.2, and for RHEL 9, it's PHP 7.4.
Removed
Removed the function "Move wp-config.php outside the public_html directory" from WordPress Website Tools: This feature will be reactivated once WP-CLI fully supports this migration. In reality, if the website is running on a single VPS, this feature isn't overly necessary. While having it would be better than not, I am currently forced to pause it because when enabled, WP-CLI encounters errors when using other functions in the WordPress Website Tools section.
Added
Added the function to notify SSH access to the server via Telegram.
Added
Added Install CloudFlare Dynamic DNS function: From this version, VPSSIM officially supports configuring dynamic IP addresses for domains managed on CloudFlare.com. With this feature, you can easily run a website right from your home. There are various methods to configure DDNS for a domain, but the way VPSSIM implements it is the simplest and most convenient. Any VPSSIM user can easily do it. See the Guide to Using the "Install CloudFlare Dynamic DNS (DDNS)" Function.
5.1.1
Updated
Continue updating domain-related functions, allowing you to simply select a number when using domain-related features on the server, eliminating the need to manually enter the domain.
Updated
Fixed the Server Timezone and PHP Timezone issues. No longer do some servers display the timezone as GMT+7 while the system time is GMT-7. For PHP Timezone, it now uses the geographical location-based timezone, helping to avoid GMT timezone discrepancies on certain servers.
Updated
Add phpSysinfo and set it as the default homepage in the Management Link section.
Updated
The WordPress Blog Tools section encountered several minor issues due to WP-CLI updates. I have completely fixed these errors. The name has been changed from WordPress Blog Tools to WordPress Website Tools, and the following functions have been added: Move wp-config.php outside of the public_html directory to enhance security. Enable/disable the ability to edit themes and plugins to improve security. I will continue to develop the WordPress Website Tools with more new features to make it increasingly effective for WordPress websites.
Updated
The FreeSSL Installation function has been checked and modified, with the default setting switched to ZeroSSL. Simultaneously, the issue with the cron job not automatically renewing the free SSL certificate from the previous version has been fixed.
5.1.0
November 11, 2024
Improved
A minor update has also been integrated, enhancing performance and user experience.
Updated
Upgrade Management Link: http://IP-VPS:810. The new version brings more powerful tools, allowing you to manage your VPS not only via SSH but also through a web browser. Notably, these functions will not consume VPS resources as they only operate when in use and are turned off when not in use.
5.0.0
October 30, 2024
VPSSIM Update to version 5.0.0 – A major upgrade from version 4.6.1.0.
In this update, I have completed the code for VPSSIM, bringing many improvements and optimizations to the existing features.
Some planned updates will be added in future versions to enhance the functionality and performance of VPSSIM.
Important note: Previous VPSSIM versions cannot be updated to this new version due to changes in the configuration file structure. Specifically, the vpssim.conf configuration file has been moved to /root/vpssim.com, and the DBinfo.txt file has also been moved to /root/DBinfo.txt.
Improved
Improve the code
Fixed
Fix bugs in VPSSIM 4.6.1.0.
