Even with the switch, it shouldn't take a week, normally.

I wouldn't do it unannounced
My current target is to get it done between July 24 and July 27.

I've started the negotiations with the colo host.
There are two minor complications at this time:
- they require signed contracts on paper, I hope they agree that I can fax them so we don't lose valuable time waiting for the contracts to arrive via snail mail.
- they require me to pay a full year in advance. This is a bit unexpected since they advertise a monthly fee on their site, but since I'm a foreign customer I'll have to pay one year in advance. I do have the cash atm luckily, but when I pay that I'll be in deep shit financially for the rest of the summer
Good points are:
- Since I'm a foreign customer I don't have to pay VAT. I hope they agree with the price of 37€/month ex VAT. That would be such an improvement over the old price of 150€/month! The google ads revenue would cover that price more or less, leaving practically no cost for me to run the server. Yay
I'll keep you informed how things are proceeding

No chance of a reduction, they're tough negotiators, their price offer is €44/month ex VAT. Still OK price though

I received the contract. I'm going to read it carefully and fax it monday.
Hopefully all is well and I can go to Amsterdam next week to get the server installed.

I'm going to the bank tomorrow, I'm going to try to get a loan or to get the possibility to go below zero on my account. I'll need to pay my quarterly taxes shortly and then I'm more at ease financially.

The loan has been accepted, actually I get a cash credit which is some kind of a flexible loan
The bank needs one week to sort it out though. I will have to postpone the move for one week at least. I have a full week off the first week of August, that would be ideal!
