We\u2019ve seen prices rise across almost every product and service. We\u2019ve also seen many businesses sadly close their doors. Even so, we\u2019re proud to have reached this milestone as a privately owned company that puts customers first.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"qzvqcb\" data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"482\">Thank You for Your Support<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"521\">More than anything, we feel grateful.<\/p><p data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"521\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"729\">We\u2019re thankful for the tens of thousands of customers who have supported us over the years. That includes people who signed up yesterday, as well as those who joined 9 years ago and are still with us today.<\/p><p data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"729\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1057\">Running Ethernet Servers is rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. Like any business, we face day-to-day pressures. In technology, those pressures move quickly. Bread and cheese will always be bread and cheese, but web hosting is a very different beast. The industry changes fast, and standing still is never an option.<\/p><p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"1057\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1220\">We\u2019ve made mistakes along the way. At the same time, we\u2019ve learned a great deal. We use that knowledge every day to keep our customers online and moving forward.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"nwcsi1\" data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1253\">Our Plans for the Year Ahead<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1299\">We have ambitious plans for the coming year.<\/p><p data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1299\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1525\">One of the biggest is a major platform upgrade for our VPS customers. We plan to move from OpenVZ 7 to OpenVZ 9. This will bring long-requested&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wireguard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">WireGuard<\/a>&nbsp;support, along with a range of performance and stability improvements.<\/p><p data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1525\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1619\">We\u2019re also planning to upgrade all shared hosting servers from CloudLinux 7 to CloudLinux 8.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"pyamsd\" data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1653\">Birthday Credit for Customers<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1732\">Of course, we could not celebrate our birthday without giving something back.<\/p><p data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1732\"><br><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"2039\">To mark the occasion, we\u2019re offering a $9 account credit to all customers who signed up before today, September 13th, 2022. We\u2019re also offering a $4.50 account credit to everyone else, meaning anyone who signs up today or before September 20th, 2022.
