@ACCU web, email and other servers are now migrated from #Bytemark to @beasts - and, for bonus points, on IPv6 only servers, thanks to the @beasts IPv4/IPv6 proxy.

#Bytemark are a terribly pale shadow of what was a great operation. @beasts though, are a delight, and really, really know their stuff.

Migration complete (I think) off of the old #UML #UserModeLinux VM. Its 22nd birthday would have been in two weeks time. I'll keep it running for a few days before turning it off just in case I find there's something important it's still doing. Migrating email (to @fastmail) was remarkably painless because I fired all the other users a few months back. Bye bye #Bytemark!

End of an era. No more servers with #Bytemark after 18 years.

Sad, really. A company that is literally named after the separator in an IPv6 address, no longer has an IPv6 address for its own website and email now it is under the iomart umbrella.

I've been meaning to move for quite some time, but recent events made it rather urgent.

Thanks to the team at @beasts for helping me build a life-raft at short notice.

Lots more work to do, but we're clear.

If anyone else wants to talk #riscos or other #retrocomputing at #fosdem look out for this guy in the #Bytemark hoodie!

Completed the migration of my server from Bytemark to @beasts.

Great support from people who know what they are doing. I've got a slightly faster server, a clean Debian install and even saved a little money too - so great deal all round.

Ambulance-chasing isn’t really our thing but we’ve already helped a number of ex-Bytemark / BigV customers avoid the AWS lock-in tractor beam so we might as well say it out loud here:

If you’re looking for a new independent UK-based home for your virtual machines, give us a try: https://www.brightbox.com/

Or, if we're not a good fit, check out @beasts - another well regarded UK independent

A bit annoyed I need to migrate my seemingly free virtual machine to a different provider.

I wonder who else hasn't been billed ? #bytemark

#Bytemark / #IOMart are shuttering BigV and migrating everyone on to IOMart?

I think I'll migrate everything back under the stairs.
