Reliable Hosting
Published on May 17, 2023 by Nicco Kunzmann
The open-web-calendar is now reliably hosted on a Hetzner server in Germany. Your recurring contributions pay for the monthly hosting costs.
Before that, it was hosted on a small development board in a makerspace. That led to outages which is a disadvantage for people who cannot afford hosting themselves. Before that, it was hosted as a free service on Heroku and these were discontinued. Now that we use our own domain (open-web-calendar.hosted.quelltext.eu), we can always move the calendar domain to where we host the service. This is important to deal with the changes that the server providers make.
