Maintenance tasks
We will migrate all customers in our current Netherlands location to a new datacenter - Telecity AMS5 in Amsterdam.
The migration will begin on April 16th at 23:00 CET.
The total downtime for a single service is expected to be 60 minutes, however we will try our best to make it quicker than that.
All services are expected to be migrated by April 16th 06:00 CET.
No action or changes are required on your end, the IP addresses and the data will remain exactly the same as it is now, the server will only need to reboot. 

Reason for maintenance
As you may already know, we have faced several network related issues causing downtime and packet loss in the past few months. In March, these worsened and we faced two outages due to upstream issues.
As we promise a certain level of quality of service to our customers, we feel that we have not been up to our guarantee with these network issues.
As you have bought the service from M-BIT, it is M-BIT's responsiblity to make sure that we choose an upstream who can deliver the uptime we promise to you.
Keeping this in mind, we have decided to perform a datacenter migration from our current datacenter to a new datacenter known as Telecity Amsterdam 5.
Telecity AMS5 is one of the most reliable and high quality datacenters in the Amsterdam region.
