VRS support terminated by hosting provider

[Josef Templ]

Our hosting provider terminated support for VRS, which is the kind of virtual server blackboxframework.org was built on.
We are trying to arrange for a new plan.
However, there can be service interruptions until everything is set up again
and data is migrated to the new platform.

It may be a good idea to make a copy of all things that you don't want to loose...

Gasp - this sounds like a major problem!

I have placed an order for a new server that has the same pricing model but, fortunately, a bit more resources (1 GB RAM, 15GB file space).
Since he OS is 64Bit now, this is a very welcome upgrade.
In addition, Edis offered a discount for the inconveniences.
So we get the first year for free.

KVM SMART - blackboxframework.org (06/03/2022 - 05/04/2022) EUR 4.99
Additional IPs: no additional IPs
OS: Debian 11 (Bullseye) 64Bit
Promotional Code: VRS-RIP - 100.00% Recurring Discount EUR -4.99
Location: CH
IP address: 178.209.40.72

According to Edis, the old server will be removed on March, 8th.
