We've just received very important information from our sponsor @Manal from Shadow Hosting that affect the VPS 5 Plan.

VPS 5 holders please take note that you need to take backups and remove the content of your VPS as soon as you can but not later than end of Sunday, 25th of October.  Shadow Hosting is in the process of upgrading VPS 5 to an advanced spec node which means that all data on the current node will be deleted and lost.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but I'm sure you'll agree this is excellent news at the same time.  The node will be upgraded from 32 GB RAM to 128 GB RAM along with other spec upgrades that will be announced shortly.  I'd say that is super impressive for a VPS Plan that was already one of our top VPSs spec wise, many thanks @Manal.  

Due to running out of stock for both of our nodes, we're working on bringing in the advanced node, replacing the first node of 32 GB RAM with 128 GB RAM, and much more optimization. With that being said, we'll be deleting our 32GB RAM node, on which VPS 5 is running. We'll begin with the process in 2-3 days and all data would be lost. To avoid any important loss, please tell the VPS 5 users to take a backup of their data.

We'll be back with the VPS 5 within a week with a much powerful node. Further specification will be provided once the node is setup. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the heads up. I was just prepering to move few more sites to my VPS. Yes, the VPS has been working great since the March and I'm really impressed with it's proformance. Hopefully it will be back soon so I could bring my sites online again.

Woah that's some really cool stuff going on. The new server sounds like a beast and yeah we also got hints that there might be a specs increase for VPS 5 as well. That's awesome!

That's for being such a reliable sponsor @Manal!

What I can say in the spoiler is it is better than both nodes...combined?

What a good news with this VPS 5 improvements.

Just wondering if it is possible the data on the old node could be copied to the bigger new node without data loss though.

But I do not think the VPS 5 holders would mind about it at all as it sounds not only there will be a RAM upgrade for the node but also some other spec upgrades soon for the VPS 5 plan.

Woah when I received Dean's PM I thought I'd be loosing VPS 5 and never expected a spec upgrade as I thought vps 5 was already pretty op xD

I'm really impressed by shadow networks, looking forward for the upgrade

I've copied all the important stuff

This is an amazing news

Always upgrading the hardware is a nice move to let customers know that a company cares about the business!

Any Update on this? Not that I'm in a hurry or anything but I noticed I can login to my Hosting Control panel and sites are working too. I wonder if the upgrade has finished already or it hasn't started yet.

Thx for this reminder and also the Shoutbox Reminder from @Honey.  I've written an e-mail to @Manal to check and ask for his assistance.
