    After the major downtime on June 2, caused by an unannounced data center migration by our previous infrastructure provider, we faced weeks of instability and disruptions. That situation made it clear: we couldn’t continue relying on a partner we couldn’t trust.

    Since then, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to build something better—something faster, more stable, and more future-proof.

    Now we’re happy to share the good news: we’re migrating to our brand-new platform this week.


    🚀 What’s New?

    1. 10x More Power
      The new platform runs on CPUs that are up to 10 times faster than those on our previous servers.

    2. More Memory & Cores
      Each server has a lot more CPU cores and RAM, running on brand-new hardware built specifically for performance and reliability.

    3. All-NVMe Storage
      We’ve switched to 100% enterprise-grade NVMe SSDs—which means blazing-fast read/write speeds (up to 10x faster than before).

    4. Built-in Redundancy
      Every hosting server now runs on two physical machines at the same time, with real-time replication. If one ever fails, the other takes over instantly—no downtime.

    5. 24/7 On-Site Support
      Our new data center is staffed around the clock. If something goes wrong, someone is there to physically step in right away.


    🔄 About the Migration

    We’re doing everything we can to make this transition as smooth as possible.

    There won’t be any planned downtime, but please note:
    There might be some data loss between the time we take a backup and the moment it’s restored on the new server. To avoid losing changes, we recommend not making any critical updates during your scheduled migration window.

    If your domain uses our nameservers, we’ll update the IP addresses automatically.
    If you use external nameservers, you’ll need to manually update your A records (IP addresses), as we don’t have access to do that for you. We will email you the new IP addresses for your services.
    The old IP addresses will keep functioning at first for http and https traffic, but will stop functioning soon.


    We really believe this upgrade is a big step forward, and we’re excited to bring you the performance and reliability you deserve.

    As always, our promise remains the same:
    “Where high quality and low prices meet.”
