WordPress, PrestaShop and PRISM,
managed from one dashboard.
Create a site, build it on staging, move it to your domain and look after it day to day. This is what bext Cloud does today.
WordPress sites
From creation to go-live without leaving the dashboard.
Created in about a minute
Pick a name and confirm. WordPress is installed in French on an HTTPS staging address, ready to work on.
Live install progress
Every step shows while the site installs, from download to certificate. The login is handed to you once, at the end.
Plugins and themes
Install, activate, deactivate or delete plugins, and install and activate themes, without opening the WordPress admin.
Updates
Update WordPress core, plugins and themes, separately or all at once.
Maintenance, cache and backup
Turn on maintenance mode, flush the cache, export the database or set a new admin password.
PrestaShop shops
A shop ready to sell, and a dashboard to look after it.
PrestaShop 9 or 8
PrestaShop 9 by default, or PrestaShop 8 when your modules require it. With or without the demo catalogue, in French.
A secure back office from the start
The admin folder gets a name nobody can guess, the install folder is removed and HTTPS is enforced everywhere.
Modules
Install, enable, disable, upgrade or uninstall a module, and see the ones sitting on disk without being installed.
Maintenance, debug and cache
Put the shop in maintenance while keeping access for your IP addresses, turn on debug mode for a diagnosis, flush the cache.
Security check
A score out of 100 and one sentence per item: up-to-date version, supported PHP, configuration file permissions, recent backup, debug mode.
Backups and access
Export the database in one click (the ten most recent are kept in a folder only the platform can read) and reset a SuperAdmin employee’s password.
PRISM sites and Bext CMS
A fast TypeScript site, with a built-in CMS if you want one.
A ready-to-use PRISM site
A starter page and TypeScript routes served directly by the bext engine, on an HTTPS staging address.
Native Bext CMS
Pages, posts and a media library, with visual editors and an admin account created for you.
Your own content types
Create your own content types and custom fields.
Isolated data
Every site has its own database. Your content stays with the site when it moves to your domain.
Domains & HTTPS
A real domain and HTTPS, with no certificate files to handle.
Automatic HTTPS
Certificates are obtained automatically, for staging and for your domains. You never handle a file.
Proof of ownership
A DNS record proves the domain is yours before anything goes live.
Checked go-live
Before the switch, the dashboard checks that each domain points to the right place and that no other site already serves it.
Backup and redirect
For WordPress and PrestaShop, the database is backed up before the switch. The staging address then redirects to your domain.
Discreet staging
While on staging, the site is hidden from search engines.
Servers & monitoring
Your own bext servers, visible and checkable from the same place.
Your server as a target
Connect your own bext server to your account. It becomes a target you can see in the dashboard.
Health checks
The dashboard queries each target and tells you whether it responds.
Project registry
Projects, domains and certificates sit in a single searchable list.
On-demand uptime checks
Run a check on a site to see whether it responds, whenever you want.
Managed maintenance (option)
Every month, at night: a full backup, WordPress, plugin and theme or PrestaShop module updates, a site check and an email report. Our team steps in if a site stops responding.
Daily backups (option)
Database and files backed up every day off the server, kept 30 days, downloadable from the site page.
Continuous monitoring (option)
Every site is checked every 5 minutes. You get an email when it goes down, after two failed checks in a row, and when it is back.
Agency & tools
For working across several clients, from the browser or from your desk.
Projects grouped by client
An agency view groups projects by client. This is an early version: it helps you find your way, it does not manage access yet.
Command palette
A keyboard shortcut opens a palette to reach a project or a page without going through the menus.
CLI and ShellDeck app
The bext command line and the ShellDeck desktop app use the same API as the dashboard.
French and English interface
The whole interface is available in both languages.
Source-available engine
The bext engine is source-available under BSL 1.1. You can host it yourself on your own servers.
On the roadmap
These are not open to every account yet. Some already run internally. We list them so you know where we are heading, with no promised date.
- Deploy from a Git repository on every push, with rollback to a previous version (internal testing)
- Import of the sites your servers already serve (internal testing)
- Security check for WordPress sites
- Environment variables per environment
- Metrics and logs you can browse in the dashboard
- Monitoring alerts by Slack or webhook
- Usage tracking per project
- Roles, enterprise SSO and an audit log
- Per-client billing
Try it on a real site.
