    Seems like Finland VPS are all re-located to Germany location. Finland location is unfortunately being discontinued.

    yeap, currently asking them for a refund of the additional fee since they're refusing to migrate to any of their US locations that have the exact same fee (which would be the fair approach IMO).

    Not that Finland was actually good tbh... network was terrible and was just a scuffed tunnel to Frankfurt.

    I picked Finland because uptime was more stable or at least less announced maintenance. But seems like it's Germany now.

    I also received the information by email, but I can’t really understand why this is being done, as I was "satisfied" with it - there were hardly any downtimes. It’s a pity that this location is being shut down. I hope there won’t be more to follow.😔

    I think the more stable thing is just an excuse to move. My other guess is that remote hands just wasn't fast/affordable enough and in Germany they have their own DC. Will see what will happen to US locations.

    I asked if my Finland VPS could be migrated to an EPYC system and they said yes. So got a hw upgrade at least :)

  • I asked, after 1000 failed attempts, to get moved to any of their other locs and finally they said yeah.

    But quite scummy to say "Contract and price conditions remain unchanged." when the contract has indeed changed, and the price would be -10% since you have to pay extra for Helsinki.

    Considering they completely ditched aurologic in Eygelshoven, and PLETX cannot provide Finland, probably there's no good alternatives there / too costly for a very low customer base. (they were using IPXO leased subnets there)

    They use their own subnets in their US locs apparently, so I guess that one might survive for longer, but not 100% sure. In their own ASN they already have Ashburn, but Dallas (and LA too IIRC) still remains in Tier.net ASN, ...

  • I'm pretty annoyed by this change personally. I have two lifetimes with them, one in Finland and the other in...Germany. So now I will just have two lifetimes in the same datacenter I guess? Kind of aggravating, but oh well. Hopefully the supposed Epyc upgrade that's "coming soon" will actually get here at some point!

    I had the same (Finland and Germany server).
    They now offered to delete my lifetime server, refund me and allow me to order it again with the refunded money so I'll have it way ahead of the scheduled migration. Agreed. Was funny cuz they said they'd refund as Zap Balance and I said usually you can't buy lifetime servers with Zap Coins, but they'll make an exception. Unfortunately, I can't use my amassed Zap Coins of 73€ to get more resources since they come from coupons. So I'll just have to order the same specs again, but at least faster than waiting for the migration. Support is trying to help and responds fast, too. They can't promise new deployments will be on EPYC immediately, but all Germany servers are apparently migrated to EPYC at some point.

    Just FYI, base VPS are now 4 cores instead of 2 cores and 1 Gbps instead of 500 Mbps ;)
