GigaHost retiring LXC containers
We are retiring LXC containers on January 4, 2027
=================================================
On January 4, 2027, we will retire our LXC-based containers. After this date, the service will no longer be available.
There are several reasons for this. The main one is that the containers are no longer sustainable to operate in today's market. On top of that, the platform is outdated and cannot be upgraded, which poses a significant security risk for both us and you as a customer.
We recommend moving to one of our KVM virtual servers. KVM offers much better security, runs on an up-to-date platform, and lets you install any operating system. You also get access to backups, snapshots, ISO upload and more.
How we will compensate you
--------------------------
You get 20% off any virtual server we offer with the discount code below. The code is valid for one purchase.
*********
For what you have already paid for your LXC container, you can choose between two options:
- Your new virtual server is extended by the time remaining on your LXC order, or
- your last payment for the LXC container is refunded in full.
Open a ticket after ordering the new service and let us know which option you prefer.
Important to know
-----------------
The IP address from your LXC container cannot be moved to a KVM virtual server. Your new server will get a new IP address, so remember to update DNS records and anything else pointing to the old one.
Please also make sure to move your data well ahead of January 4, 2027.
We know this means extra work for you, and it is not a decision we take lightly.
Any questions? Open a ticket and we will do our best to help!
What a shame ... stable service + network and good IP reputation.
Still had an old one from TerraHost that was sold/tansfered to GigaHost in 2024. 15€/year for 1vCPU, 0.5gb RAM, 30GB SSD and 2TB traffic. I just extended it last month for another year.
The suggested alternative is not competitive unfortunately. Their cheapest KVM is 2vCores, 4gb RAM, 40gb SSD and 20tb traffic. With the 20% discount and one year payment it's still 3 times the price at 45€/year.
Anyone know a good alternative around 15-20€/year with stable network and good IP reputation?
