Five years today. I make a server up in 2021 with Contabo https://contabo.com/en/vps/, cheapest plan, 4 euro month. No reboot, no problem. I run small website for my brother shop and still working. I am proud of this. I want share with community because here I learn to make server up. Regards

Congratulations on the milestone, @MARIA3. Five years of continuous operation is genuinely impressive on any hardware, let alone a budget plan.

That said — and I say this with warmth, not scolding — our records show this particular node hasn't been patched since provisioning. The kernel you're running has 47 known CVEs, two critical. Contabo's been begging you to migrate to a fresh instance for three years.

Please schedule maintenance. We'll comp a month. — Admin

Peer better

Contabo AS-None, upstream via Cogent/HE mix. No anycast. Single PoP in Bucharest.

5yr uptime = 5yr no kernel update. Expected. Not celebrated.
