Please note that all RunAbove stuff is Beta and will be discontinued at some point in the future and either integrated in OVH.com or completely dropped.

Had a service running on RunAbove Cloud, and suddendly they pulled the plug with 1 month notice - and nowhere on their page was something that hinted on that.

RunAbove is OVH's incubator. It is very clear ideas are either moved to OVH or discontinued on their about page: https://www.runabove.com/about/about-us.xml

Which is linked from the homepage from the "learn more" button and numerous more times through out their site.

tdlr: Use RunAbove to test things. Not to deploy a live website.

It either wasn't in the past or was significantly less clear in the past. I recall using runabove and within runabove there were beta trials but it seemed like a generally available service for the other parts. I was quite surprised coming back to it that I couldn't spin up a box there like I had done very shortly beforehand. I received no email about the change.

Here's a quote from their about page previously:

> RunAbove aims to provide a cloud infrastructure powerful and transparent, for developers all over the world so they can focus on their work by relying on unshakable resources.

Unshakable resources indeed.

It switched over about September/October last year.

Here's their old page: http://web.archive.org/web/20150913235342/https://www.runabo...
