Looks like are shutting down, having been bought out by Iomart last year. I'll be moving my VPS to @beasts

@h2g2bob @beasts My notification said that BigV would be suspended on 31st October. Did they change the date or give different dates to different people?

@davebiff @beasts my reading was they make us new accounts on hostinguk on 31st Oct with some free (blank?) vps equivalent to our bytemark ones. They'll run both so we can transfer data, DNS, etc until January.

But with that hassle, why go for hostinguk? Same effort if you switch to someone else.

@davebiff @beasts took me several readings to work out "bigv" is "all their vps" as they haven't called it bigv on the website for years.

I found the email hard to read, and tbh the way it's phrased as a support ticket and link to non-bytemak website made me wonder if their support tickets got hacked. I assume it's legit, but who knows!?
