⚡| Infrastructure Change:
Hey everyone, and welcome to Patch v0.10 of the Infrastructure changes. I finally have news that things are heading in the right direction, and exciting information about what comes next. Let's quickly dive into the v0.10 update! This patch node might be a bit technical, and it's understandable if you don't get it right away. If you need more explanation, join our Discord server.
🔰| Anti-DDoS Costs:
Unfortunately, the costs of Anti-DDoS have skyrocketed, but in return, we've gained something fantastic! As most of you have noticed, most hosting providers used the Path.net network. The reason for this is that they are not excessively expensive for what you get. However, Path.net is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Initially, we would have paid €140/month to use their network, which has now become unstable.
Therefore, we decided to upgrade. We have switched to an even better Anti-DDoS solution. With 100 Tbps Anti-DDoS, 1 Tbps uplink, and 17 points-of-presence (PoPs), no attack will get through anymore. For comparison, Path.net had 12Tbps Anti-DDoS. (733% extra protection!)
Don't worry, the prices will all remain the same! 😉
💸| Server Compensation:
As of the time this message is posted, 18/07/24, the network has been offline for a total of 1 month, 2 weeks. This means the current compensation will be at least 1 month, 2 weeks. However, this may increase. When and how the compensation will be provided is still unclear because the network is not yet online. Once the network is back online, more information will be made available.
❓| When Will The Servers Be Online?
Short answer, we don’t know.
We are doing our utmost to complete the network as quickly as possible, but as explained earlier, we don't want to rush it. We want to build a good, powerful, and stable network so you can expect and receive the best, as our promise states: "We promise to always prioritize the best quality, at the lowest possible price, regardless of whether it cuts into our own profits. All because you come first!"
🚀| Server Router:
As seen in the screenshot above, we've finally managed to get the Network Router online! This doesn't mean that the rest of the servers are up yet, but we're actively working on it!
As explained earlier, this does not involve the Path.net network but rather the new Anycast Network. Anycast means you connect to the nearest server, ensuring minimal latency! Not all 17 PoPs are connected yet; work is still in progress, but there's light at the end of the tunnel!
Internally, we now have an ETA for when the network should be operational again, but delays are still possible. For this reason, we're not sharing an ETA just yet, but we're close!
⚠️| Pay Attention To Your Payments!
The payment system continues to operate in the background, which can lead to issues. Check the client area to see when your products expire. If it is less than 7 days, please open a ticket so we can extend your product for free to prevent data loss. Open a ticket here.
