+We at IXVD chose to deprecate our old server "neo" to make place for a new server architecture.
+
+EUX will stays the same however internally we redesigned the infrastructure to be even more secure*
+
+# What changed?
+We are still using the same service provider, however we're using their cloud option.  
+This platform allows for scaling, as this project's funding comes out of our own pockets, being able to scale down is a nice plus.  
+Also, with the new architecture we can easily add new services and not have to worry about interference of ports or such since we can spin up a new server for it, again a big plus.
+We're also able to monitor services without an external party; with our old server, if it we're to turn off we would not know without an external party notifying us.
+
+# Pricing
+Our old server had a monthly cost of about 50 euros**.
+With the new architecture it's at about 40 euros** which can easily scale up or down depending on use.
