Please note that Shadow Hosting's has changed the requirements for VPS 4 and 5 ownership with immediate effect. The changes also apply to current VPS 4 and 5 holders.
The change in requirements has become necessary when it was discovered that VPS 4 & 5 are providing no voluntary reviews for the sponsor, and on top of it some of the VPSs are inactive (underused). Since these three VPSs are highly valued at post4vps, Shadow Hosting's concern is also post4vps's concern.
Ordinarily there is no hard and fast rule to provide a review, however since there have been no voluntary reviews submitted by the VPS 4 & 5 holders (except for @tiwil many months ago), Shadow Hosting's has decided to make the review a requirement of VPS ownership. VPS 4 and 5 holders now have to provide a review within one month of taking occupation of VPS 4 and VPS 5. This requirement has been added to the two VPS Plans.
Please note that the above requirement also applies to present VPS 4 & 5 Holders who are required to make a QUALITY review of their VPS before the end of January, failing which they will forfeit use of the VPS.
In addition, for future Giveaways, the same rules as for VPS 9 and 16 will apply to VPS 4 and 5. In addition to credit points - the member who applies has to provide full justification (detailed plan of intended use) why a VPS of such high specs would be needed. Once the VPS has been given however, and it has been found that the VPS is not being used as justified, it will be taken back from the VPS Holder and added back to the next month's Giveaway.
The above rule of proper justification of VPS specs takes effect immediately. This means that current VPS 4 & 5 holders who do not use their VPSs to its proper capacity, may lose their VPS at end of January. @Manalays use of VPS 4 seems to be well justified, and his concern is mostly with the VPS Holders of VPS 5. Please look at this Announcement therefore as notice that if your VPS 5 has the appearance of inactive/underused that it will be taken back at end of January. The assessment will be made at end of January with immediate effect.
