Ramnode Sold to InMotion Hosting?
If you check the org name for Ramnode's ASN, it has now changed to InMotion Hosting, Inc. https://bgp.he.net/AS3842
Looks like the changes happened in the last couple weeks. Not sure if this has been brought up already. Anyways, if this is the case - congrats on the sale @Nick_A

ASN Updated: 2021-02-19. If they get bought, than there was no communication with customers
thanks for your post.
Is this a good or a bad thing for LET peeps?
Depends on your price sensitivity
If this is true, really worried about quality and pricing in future(Dont know anything about inmotion hosting, but know of top notch Ramnode quality for years).
InMotion is a top provider. Premium level: Pro
They customer support is very fast, and it's not outsourced.
Interesting. Would have expected to hear something. We use ramnode for one of our dns servers if i recall right, or some other similar small task which needs multiple geographic locations
I noticed this the other day the changes in the ASN org. If this is true then we will be moving out the services we have from Ramnode. ASAP

why?
I was a customer of theirs for few years some time ago, the VPS was fine, but I cancelled the service as eventually I didn't need it anymore. Recently I was looking at their NL shared hosting after my current hosting provider increased the prices by a lot. Looks like that I won't be switching to them as in cases like this the prices increase most of the time.
Ramnode is a solid provider but Inmotion taking over might change everything......
Our business is managed web services.
who is Inmotion ?
Could just be some IP space that is being traded?
I'd hate to cancel my 8y/o 128MB OVZ box.
No, InMotion acquired by Ramnode
Remember, folks.
The end is always nigh.

Ramnode no longer owns any IPs or ASNs in the ARIN region. They still have a RIPE /22 IPv4 and /29 IPv6.
I still have $600 credit with ramnode.
Just as an aside -- I'd recommend against using any hosting provider as a bank. I would suggest a couple of months payments in credit at the very maximum (e.g. to cover you if you are away / bank card gets replaced / etc).
Account credit isn't nearly as safe as a bank or emoney account like revolut etc or even PayPal.
Just opened a ticket asking for confirmation.
If they used one of the credit promos, up to $150 of that was completely free.
Might not be as safe as a bank account but that's a decent return
Ramnode is one of the OGs so this is sad to see... considering InMotion is a fully managed provider I honestly don't see this ending well. I'll be moving my VM's with them asap
Would be nice of @Nick_A to chime in on that..
I might have to move some of my VMs as well :-/
I would like a host that is stationary and not in motion tho >.>
it just was confirmed in a thread
Inmotion support is better than ramnode. So be happy if you receive it.
Hey everyone - please check this thread
There's really no intention of re-branding or changing the core business model. RamNode will operate as-is and will continue to be an unmanaged provider, with the same great staff Please see this post for more information.
