+title: Big Move
+layout: post

+
+As you all have noticed, we have successfully moved our servers from the Dutch
+hoster [Bitency](https://bitency.nl/) to a dedicated server at the German
+hoster [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/) a few weeks ago.
+
+## Why? And does this mean?
+
+We wanted, but couldn't upgrade our servers at our old hoster because they
+stopped offering the dedicated server hosting service. So, with this move, we
+got our upgrade! The servers have more RAM and disk space now and finally use
+SSDs instead of spinning HDDs which makes our services, IMAP and Matrix in
+particular, _much_ more responsive.
+
+If you are hosting email services with us, nothing has changed and everything
+should still be working.
+
+If you are hosting web pages or services, you'll need to update your DNS
+records! Perform the following replacements for all records that match the IP
+address on the left:
+
+- A: `37.72.100.21` → `195.201.166.132`
+- AAAA: `2a00:8240:5:10::21` → `2a01:4f8:13a:ee3::4`
+
+## What's next?
+
+With more memory and disk space available, we are planning to move the
+[Nextcloud](/services/nextcloud.html) service "Luon Cloud" from Void (at Paul's
+home) to Torus (at the data center). It will make the service more responsive,
+more reliable and not bothered by internet connection or hardware outages.
+
+This rather complex migration will happen over the next few weeks and it can be
+intermittedly unavailable. If the service seems down for a while, or you are
+unsure whether the service should be working properly, check our
+[status page](https://status.luon.net/status).
+
+We will start with a partial move first. That is, the service will move to
+Torus, but all your data will stay on Void. This is because we don't have
+hundreds of GBs available for y'all to use on Torus (yet). However, later, we
+will probably move the data to a storage server at Hetzner too.
