It was pointed out to me off-list that some customers may be hanging
back from having their VPSes migrated because of uncertainty over
how additional storage will be charged.
As mentioned in:
http://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20150928.110054.8bc0084b.en.html
I pretty much came to the conclusion that some form of cheaper
additional archival storage is a required part of the service, but
that I can't let the lack of it slow down the hardware upgrades.
We are going to focus initially on getting everyone migrated and
keeping the prices for additional storage the same for now.
After the migrations are complete, cheaper archival storage will be
provided and at that point I will look at increasing the cost of
the additional SSD-backed storage to where it needs to be.
So just to be clear storage prices are not going to change for some
months after the migrations are all complete, and there is no need
to hold off to see what will happen there.
Cheers,
Andy
