They will not renew cheap services so I hope you have a backup.
I had opened a ticket to seek clarification post their shutting-down-annual-deals email and I did get a reply confirming that all such/said services would be shutdown (and that was over the weekend for which I got the reply on Monday).
Early AM today, my (KVM) VPS went offline (after a ~2 hour outage over night) but I had already taken a backup in preparation for migration/shutdown and so I haven't been otherwise affected.
They had indicated (promised?) that the services would be up till the 28th - so I'm not sure if this is the real end or if this is some sort of a glitch.
In any case they did honor the service for pretty much the whole year (barring the RAID issue some months back).
In my case, I had a $5 KVM VPS and it really worked well for my needs.
I know, but they said our server is not in that program:
@nullnothere , I'd start moving my belongings (data) off their servers the moment I read their "GTFO budget crap owners" mail.
Personally, I did exactly that. Moved whatever was valuable and cancelled the plan. Nothing to get too agitated about.
Good luck!
Just move on, the warning signs have been very apparent for a while.
best advice.
Yeah, actually it is not ours, its for a client. Thanks for the advice though.
Oh dear, putting client/production data on a doomed host that craps on customers without hesitation, what could go wrong.
Seriously though, just get another server with a more reputable host and restore from backups, it will be quicker and better for you in the long run.
