Yes, the situation is not very clear. The message you link does indeed
say that the server will be moved, however I have confired with him more
recently before he went on holiday that his server will stay where it
is, and will continue to host locoteams. Perhaps the situation has
changed since that previous email. To some extent this process involves
learning slowly which options are suitable!

In any case, the Italian team is happy to continue to stay with
Matthias's hosting at the moment, because now that the german team is
migrating to its own server, it should have more than enough resources!
If the situation changes, then we will be able tor reevaluate.
