You can ask for support here but for anything non-trivial we'll likely redirect you to email support@, which would also be more timely for you.
Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon) was released on 23 April and is now available for customers to self-install from the Xen Shell. See:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Self-install
for more info.
Upgrading from 24.04 is also possible with "do-release-upgrade -d" though not officially supported until the first point release.
Debian 13 (trixie) and Testing (forky) options have been added to our self-serve installer.

Free upgrades are coming, so please keep an eye on your emails. 😀

Those running new enough versions of sudo, such as those on Ubuntu 24.04, should do a package update as soon as possible.

Probably not much! There are some things mentioned here:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Shared_resources
Those are things you can just use without any configuration needed on our side. There's some other things that are free but which need to be asked for, like secondary DNS, monitoring, backups (free to a limited extent…)
We're investigating problems with host talisker. Unfortunately it's looking the same as what was experienced with this host in February, meaning we're going to have to hard power cycle it shortly.
