New colocation sponsor Nine

At the end of 2024, we had to give up our server hosting in Winterthur due to reasons beyond our control and that of our former sponsor. Some readers may have seen our announcement on this topic last year.

Thankfully, Nine very promptly agreed to support the Swiss OpenStreetMap community and SOSM with their colocation infrastructure. As a result, we relocated from Winterthur to Zurich in mid-December.

With the two servers we operate, we offer a variety of services that enable the OpenStreetMap community to improve the map and make valuable contributions. One of these servers is now hosted at Nine, and we would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks for Nine’s generous support.

The colocation sponsorship allows us to operate the services on our own hardware in Switzerland. The second server remains with our longstanding colocation sponsor, Adfinis.

A big thank you to Nine and Adfinis—for their sponsorship, trust, and support!
