Bandwagon Host is phasing out OpenVZ VPS
OpenVZ VPS Phase Out
Dear Bandwagon Host Customer,
It is time for us to gradually phase out OpenVZ technology from our platform.As you may know, OpenVZ v6 is going to reach EOL in November 2019. This means there will be no more security updates and no support provided by the developers, and we will not be able to continue operating this technology after this happens.
We want you to have the best experience possible, and we have carefully looked into our options. The only two viable options were: Option 1: Introduce OpenVZ 7; Option 2: Ask customers to migrate to KVM.
We did take a good look at OpenVZ 7. Unfortunately, we found that it will require a significant development effort in order to migrate all clients, and yet it offers no major advantages over OpenVZ 6 or KVM. At the same time, since introduction of our KVM plans back in June 2017 the vast majority of our customers naturally migrated from OpenVZ to KVM which only reinforces the strength of KVM platform compared to OpenVZ.
Therefore we are going to discontinue OpenVZ support on our platform and we ask that all remaining OpenVZ customers migrate to KVM. We are disabling all OpenVZ renewals on our platform.
To make this transition smoother for you, we have extended the paid period for all OpenVZ VPS for two weeks, free of charge, for all customers. This will give you two extra weeks of time to make this transition to KVM.
Moving forward, we will be sending out e-mail reminders to all OpenVZ customers.
We thank you for choosing Bandwagon Host and we are continuing to work on bringing the best virtualization technologies to our customers.

That's a Lot of ovz refugees.
Too bad CyberMonday is past.
I guess tiny LA kvms will be back in style here.
Sometimes words hurt.
Or the future. Depending how you look at it. Only 364 days to Cyber Monday.
Sadly, it'll take 370 days till Cyber Monday as it'll take place on the second of December next year. On the bright side: Black Friday is only 367 days away (November 29th).
Aww, Dom, I think we had a moment there. Are you overheating?
NEW YEAR or Spring Festival,BWH will do something
RIP Xvmlabs.
xvmlabs already shut down didn't it? Anyway, sad to see my AMS server go as it's been one of the best performing small boxes I have. Great host.
The circle of life...
