**Update 2nd September 2025**

We successfully completed the migration of our main server to a new Proxmox cluster last night at 20:00 UTC. We are happy to say that everything is up and running smoothly and we have noticed a significant improvement in performance.

The new IP address is 5.101.170.45 and for those of you who whitelist our IP addresses you can safely delete the old IP address from your whitelist.

The migration was successful but not entirely straightforward. There were a couple of false starts when the snapshots used for the transfer were corrupted and we ended up having to pause the old server for around an hour in order to create a stable snapshot.

We would like to give a big thank you to all our Pro users for helping us keep the lights on!

Upgrade To Proxmox

We're upgrading Downtime Monkey's main server to a Proxmox-based cloud cluster on 1st September, 2025 at 3:00 AM UTC.

There are several benefits to using Proxmox, including speed and efficiency, but the main advantage is the ease of redundancy - if one server has an issue, another can instantly take over.

New IP Address: 5.101.170.45

For most users no action is needed - monitoring will continue as before the migration.

However, if you actively whitelist our IP address, please add the new one to your whitelist in advance of September 1st.

After the migration, you can safely remove the old IP address (217.146.95.83) from your whitelist.

This upgrade is all about making Downtime Monkey more resilient, and we couldn't do it without the support of our Pro users. Thanks for being part of our journey!
