Naranja will 'DISCONTINUE' its NVME-4GB-BF24 (30,00€) deal. ALTERNATIVE NEEDED
Got an email from Naranja: Important: your VPS service will be discontinued on 15 August 2026
The next due date: 2026 November 29th.
A credit of €8.71 has been applied to your Naranja account
I bought it at '29/11/2024'.
2Cores , RAM 4GB , DISK: 99GB, CPU: [ "AMD EPYC 9554P 64-Core Processor 2 Virtual Core" ]
Now I might need something else.
Dear xx,
We are writing to let you know that one of our server nodes is being retired. As a result, only the following specific virtual server(s) will be permanently discontinued on 15 August 2026:
abc.com — ip redacted (BF23-NVME-4GB)
Op Note: BF23-NVME-4GB seems wrong.
These services were offered at a special promotional price. With today's sharply higher server and hosting costs, we are no longer able to renew this node at that pricing, and unfortunately we cannot offer a like-for-like replacement at the same rate. Rather than change what you were promised, we have chosen to discontinue the node and credit the unused part of your term to your account.
Only the server(s) listed above are affected. Any other services or servers you may have with us are not impacted by this change and will continue to run as normal.
Please back up your data before 15 August 2026. After this date the virtual server(s) listed above and all data stored on them will be shut down and permanently deleted. This cannot be undone, and we will not be able to recover any data afterwards.
Credit for your unused term. Because we are ending the service before the end of your paid period, we are crediting the unused portion to your account. A credit of €8.71 has been applied to your Naranja account, together with a credit note for your records. You can put this credit towards any other service with us, or request a payout in line with our terms of service.
There is nothing you need to do except back up any data you wish to keep. Your service will remain fully available until 15 August 2026.
If you have any questions, or would like help moving your data, just reply to this email and our team will be glad to assist.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes, and we thank you for having been our customer.
Kind regards,
The Naranja Team

It's so over
Is this the start of economic recession?
I don't know where they are based and if they don't want to renew the plans that's entirely up to them but usually "our costs have increased" is not a valid reason to back out of a legally binding contract. Of course nobody will sue them over this so they practically can very well do it but it still doesn't seem exactly professional.
That isn't even that great of a deal. Anyway, they owe you the server or cash. Credit is not acceptable. It mentions a payout in line with their terms of service, but since I'm not a customer, I don't know what that means. I think it's garbage they couldn't at least honor their contract and maintain the server until the term is over.
Start???
As a burned-out, lazy customer who’s been totally drained by work, I just feel like: this is all such a hassle.
Back when I bought it, I thought that being hassle-free (stable) was a plus.
Ugh, what a hassle.
Yeah, who really likes a forced move? If you can take a downgrade in diskspace (the CPU isn't really that special anyways) you could probably
ddyour system over the RealtoxMedia, GreenCloud 1 2 or maybe even DediRocks i9 promo (yabs is looking like really nice on those) and be done with the whole thing in like 30-60 minutes though. If you need help with the network voodoo to transplant the disk without reinstalling just ping me.Mine was constantly infested with reboots from time to time. Inaccessible. It was horrible experience.
I must say mine is stable. About 2 years, I just rebooted like twice.
I heard there was a sale lately. Wow, just wow.
Got the email too.
In the end, it's the current hosting economics that are going to force me to cut down my number of idlers
Seems a good idea. I could finally buy more games from Steam, w/o playing.
Guys...
I call this SolidVPS style. They invented it, others are following it.
Where the fuq have you been for the last 10 moths????
THX man, you just made made my day.
I also received the email: xxxxx — 88...* (BF23-NVME-8GB)
I just really don't get you guys. So either most of you don't look out the window, don't fill up your car tank at the gas station, haven't paid rent for the past 6 months, don't put food on the table, or... you're 14?
Let me be blunt here, and I honestly wish more providers/operators would do the same... anyway.
So, 2022–2024:
Cheap hardware, energy prices much lower than today, the cost of living compared to 2026 was much lower, which also meant lower monthly expenses. As a result -> cheap, good-ish services with a low margin of profit but high volume -> everyone happy. Yeeeeee.
Mid-2025 to today, 2026:
Three of the main components of your service went x2 or even x4 in price, so sourcing those parts today is really expensive.
In other words, not good. I mean, really not good.
So an operator has very few options:
A - Take the hit, run at a loss, and see what happens. Doable for a short period of time, and I'm confident some took this direction, yet it won't fly indefinitely.
B - Pretend everything is fine and that things will bounce back to normal in a few months... but that's like praying in front of a truck heading toward you at the speed of light. Really not OK, and I'd put that under "dumb."
C - Cut expenses as much as you can, discontinue unprofitable services, adjust pricing, resell at current market value, and call it a day.
D - Your company has an 80% profit margin on every promo service you sell, so you simply don't give a fuq.
Now, options A and B won't dirty your reputation. You'll stay popular. Yet, in the long run they'll most probably end you. B especially, and A as well if you wait too long, because monthly recurring expenses will eventually eat you alive.
Option D — respect... yet I find it about as rare as unicorns in La La Land.
That leaves us with option C. It is the least popular option from a customer's point of view, yet if you don't have a business in 3–9 months, there won't be an angry customer base left to talk about.
Over the past ~9 months I got price adjustments (I as a person, not my company) from pretty much all of my service providers: telecom, TV, Internet, mobile, electricity, gas... and the list goes on.
Fuel, beer, food — all of them went up. So if a VPS provider raises prices, it is understandable.
If you don't like it, well... "don't hate the player, hate the game."
Raising prices, canceling services, cutting down on specs... these are the last resorts a provider goes to. Do you really think providers don't know that a X% increase in price will cost them Y% of customers on the next recurring billing cycle?
Why not enjoy that what was, was good, accept that it is what it is, and move forward?
Want to change something so things get better? Join politics and do a better job than the a-holes governing the world today. Because if you're looking for someone to blame, in my opinion it's them, not provider X, Y, or Z.
Pretty sure they or anyone alse did not invent this, it is an outcome of what I wrote you above.
Some might do things a bit differently, but if this drags on for too long, most will adopt optic C in some form.
Cheers!
Everyone talks about NAND and DRAM costs skyrocketing. But nobody seems to realize that MLCCs have gone up like 100% in cost in the last year too.
AI datacenters will be built out, but nobody will be able to afford electronics in order to use them.
