So, yesterday evening bytemark finally got around to upgrading the host machine for my VM server. The upgrade itself went smoothly, so I now have 300MB of memory and 20GB of disc space (at no extra cost). Woo for me 
I did however have some problems getting the server to come back online again after the upgrade. It came up, then fell over again a couple of times before I worked out what the problem was. Actually, that’s a lie - I’m still not sure what the problem was, but it (seems to) work now, so I shall leave it alone while keeping an eye on it.
I have a feeling the problem was probably something to do with it being rebooted. Prior to the upgrade it had been up for over 150 days without a reboot, in which time I’d updated lots of core system packages, so I guess there could have been an issue somewhere I was not aware of.
Anyway - it’s working now (as you can read this page….) and as I write this it’s been up for just over an hour without any problems.
Fingers crossed…
