Exodus From Exodus
from the run,-hide,-change-your-provider dept
When Exodus first declared bankruptcy, I had joked at how the internet would be mostly shut down if they turned everything off. It seems that some companies are realizing that might be true and they're scrambling to find alternative providers to host their servers. Most people seem confident that Exodus won't just go away, but it would seem silly not to make contingency plans. The best is the story of Providian, who hosted their servers at Pilot Networks, which suddenly shut down on them. So, in a crazy 10 days they rushed to move them... to Exodus. Now they've moved them out of Exodus as well. It can't save that much money if you have to move your servers every quarter.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
