Hello!
PHP 7.3 has reached the end of its life many years ago (december 2020). The last security updates have been done in december 2021.
We understand that switching from PHP 7.3 to a more recent version can require work, this is why we have given you the option of continuing to use it until now. But now we must stop maintaining this version, for security reasons.
We will close php 7.3 support on February 1st 2027. After this date, any website still using php 7.3 will be switched to php 8.4 (with the option of downgrading to php 8.1 if needed).
Dear users, allies, comrades and colleagues,
Koumbit will be closed on May 1st, 2026 for International Workers Day, commonly known as May Day. The emergency service will still be operational. We will be back to our normal schedule on May 4th.
After the success of our plan for collectives, we are now offering a shared NextCloud hosting plan tailored for individuals.
For 150$/year, you get a NextCloud account with 15Gb disk space for your files, as well as a brand new personal email address @koumbox.org! Since these emails are a new service, you get a multitude of options for your name!
Koumbit will be closed from Wednesday, December 24th, 2025 through Friday, January 2nd, 2026 (inclusively), including the telephone support line. Happy Holidays to all!
As always, our "on-call" team will be there to respond to any emergencies. We will be back to our normal schedule on Monday, January 5th, 2026.
Koumbit now offers a turnkey shared Nextcloud hosting service starting at 50GB. At 408$CAD+tx/year, it is the perfect package for collectives and small organizations. It is also possible to get additionnal disk space if needed. Smaller packages for individuals will also be revealed soon.
NextCloud is a suite of online collaboration tools. It offers file storage and sharing (similar to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive), a platform for collaborative file editing, a shared calendar, and a host of other features.
Hello and happy autumn!
PHP 8.4 is now available as an option for powering your websites in our self-managed hosting service.
This option may be activated by going to the control panel and changing the type of a sub-domain to "Locally hosted (PHP 8.4)". For more detailed instructions, consult our FAQ.
Regular Koumbit support will be closed from October 20th to 25th to allow us to focus on closing the office. There will be no phone or email support during this week. However, we will still respond to emergencies.
We will resume with the normal schedule on October 27th.
Don't worry, we're not closing Koumbit, just emptying the physical office! Our collective has decided to switch to remote work.
Thanks for understanding!
Hello!
This is a message from your local solidarity web hosting non-profit, Koumbit! Since our offices are really under-used, Koumbit decided to pass completely to remote work. This means that we close our physical offices and need to get rid of our office furniture. Since our furniture is not in a very good state, we offer what we have in a PWYC ("Pay What You Can") formula.
What we have:
Are you nostalgic about the old days of the internet? We made a badge in the style of web 1.0 for those who want to let people know about us!
It's meant to be the traditional size of 88x31 pixels. It will look pixelated if you make it larger, this is normal.
You can have the button in French, English or Spanish.
