(Action Required) Were a company now! 🎉
(Action Required) We’re a company now! 🎉¶
We’re thrilled to share that we’ve established Etke, Sociedade Unipessoal, LDA in Portugal - a huge milestone for our team.
And the long‑awaited update: card payments are finally here! You can now pay by card via Stripe on Ko‑fi (PayPal is still available), making checkout smoother for everyone. Thank you for your patience - we know this took a while!
Unfortunately, due to PayPal policy, all existing subscription must be recreated.
Quick summary
- Card payments via Stripe are live (plus PayPal).
- Subscriptions and one‑time payments are billed in EUR.
- All existing subscriptions cancelled due to PayPal policy.
- VAT is included in prices.
- Following Hetzner price adjustment, prices for a few server sizes changed in US and Singapore regions.
(ACTION REQUIRED) Subscriptions have to be recreated¶
As part of that transition, we had to switch PayPal account to Portuguese one, but due to PayPal’s policies, the existing PayPal account cannot be updated to the new company, and all existing subscriptions had to be cancelled and recreated under the new PayPal account (or switched to card payments). We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by this transition. Your understanding and support during this period means a world to us! ❤️
Of course we won’t pull the trigger immediately - no servers will be deleted due to delays in resubscribing in all of March 2026.
If you had an active subscription established before March 2026, it was cancelled, and you need to resubscribe using either PayPal or card payment method: FAQ entry.
Invoices during the transition
During this transition, the legacy invoice template is still used by default for any transaction, but it will be gradually replaced with company invoices. For example, if you make a transaction on 22 March 2026, you may first see an old invoice, and then a day or two later it may be superseded by a new invoice issued in the company’s name.
VPS price adjustment in US and Singapore regions
Due to the Hetzner price adjustment, we updated VPS (cloud hosts) prices for Singapore and US regions for specific sizes. This affects VPS pricing only, not related to components.
Further adjustments may be needed later during the transition period.
FAQ¶
- Why currency changed (USD → EUR)
- How to change the payment method (e.g., PayPal → card)
- Migration for subscriptions established before March 2026
- Why invoices have discounts
- Why invoices are issued by a private person (transition)
PS: due to unexpected “action required” part, this message will be shared both in both (updates and news) rooms. We apologize for the inconvenience!
