Word broke on LowEndTalk this week that provider Novos.be is going to be closing their doors, effective January 1, 2022.
In an email to customers, the owner (Martijn) said “It is with regret that I have to announce the termination of NOVOS hosting services, starting January 1st, 2022. Unfortunately, personal circumstances leave me no other choice.”
Novos started as MiniKVM, then was rebranded as MaxiKVM. Then earlier this year we posted their offers under their new name, Novos.be.
Always sad to see a player exist, but timing is good for customers. With Black Friday just around the corner, you should be able to find something cost-effective to replace service.

“Always sad to see a player exist”
Despite the offer to receive a credit if you terminate the server before the end of the term, this did not happen. Tickets are also not answered. It’s not a lot of euros, but if you offer that and then do not refund the money is not a nice end.
