The server is back online, however any suggestions for a reliable European cloud provider would be much appreciated.
If you have Mastodon I recommend following BeaconDB over there, as that's where most of the community is.

Hi all, it's been a while 😅
Just posting here to let you know that BeaconDB has been down for nearly 20 hours due to what appears to be a fraudulent abuse claim.
Someone has contacted netcup with a few MB of logs that show the IP of BeaconDB's server being used to scan ports.
