notice : temporary shutdown of server.ari-web.xyz

hello

notice the server has been shut down at 2023/10/30

update 2023/11/02 i will use contabo, https://blog.ari-web.xyz/b/comparing-hosting-providers-serverariwebxyz

currently https://server.ari-web.xyz/ is hosted on linode and i pay 6.05 dollars ( w tax, 5 dollars wout tax ) for the following resources :

• 1 gig ram
• 20 gig storage
• 1 core
• 25 gig storage

and i host it in germany, frankfurt to b more specific

and well, i think thts quite a bad deal, esp comparing to other providers, this is where https://www.hetzner.com/cloud comes in, i will get the 5.18 euro plan a month with these resources :

• 2 cores ( amd )
• 2 gig ram
• 40 gig storage
• 20 tb traffic
• germany ( just as before )

or maybe the 6.37 euro plan which has all the above with the following changes :

• 2 cores ( intel this time )
• 4 gig ram

another option i considered was https://hosthatch.com/products for 6 dollars a month with :

• 2 cores ( amd )
• 4 gig ram
• 20 gig storage
• 1 tb traffic

and i think even though its an upgrade, i chose hetzner for these reasons :

• its a germany-based company, so immediately european and german privacy laws come in place, which r great
• its cheaper than hosthatch and provides competitive prices meaning good product of a small price
• provides bare bones -- no bloat, just a server, do whatever u want w it
• performance -- its known for its high performance and enterprise-level standards

although ive heard hosthatch has following advantages :

• more data center locations -- u can have more location options, but i rlly just need germany, nothing else
• stability -- ive heard tht hosthatch is more stable in pricing and server
• better customer support -- they respond faster

and the shutdown of the server will happen anywhere from 2023/11/01 to 2023/11/03, the new server is expected to go up anywhere from 2023/11/17 to 2023/11/29, dont b surprised if some parts of ari-web ( most major being comments and visitor count ) go down and dont go up for a couple of weeks

enjoy the last few days of the old server til the new one comes up
