I'm looking for someone to take ownership of this instance. Please let me know if you're interested. It is currently hosted at https://masto.host/ with a monthly cost of 7€ (but you are free to move the instance to your own server or wherever you want). The domain name costs about 17€ a year and is paid for until March 2022. If no one expresses interest by April 10th, I will have to close it down (more info on the exact date by then). Sorry to let you down.

This instance will close down on May 8th.
Meanwhile, you might want to:
* Export your data: Settings => Import and export => Data export => Request your archive
* Move your account to another instance: Settings => Account => Move to a different account.

@stefan Thank you. It was a difficult decision. Just FYI: you don't need any technical skills at all to run a Mastodon instance hosted by masto.host. They do all the hard work (upgrades, ...). No need to do anything that can't be done from the web interface.

@rgggn Nooo! Why do you need to shut it down? As you can see I just stood up an instance for our local Vegan chapter - trying to get more people excited about Mastodon.

@stefan Hi Stefan,
Unfortunately, no one has expressed interest in taking ownership of the instance, so unless someone steps up in the coming day, the instance will be shut down.
