VPSes serve a variety of different use-cases and typically involve a lot of manual set-up, so we only recommend this new service to those who are either comfortable working with servers or are open to exploring or learning more about how to host their own apps or services on the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Valheim update 0.209.8 causes customers to lose their world progress</title><link>https://hostari.com/blog/valheim-update-0-209-8-causes-customers-to-lose-their-world-progress/</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Nov 2022 17:53:11 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://hostari.com/blog/valheim-update-0-209-8-causes-customers-to-lose-their-world-progress/</guid><description>&lt;div id="super_toc"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contents&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#root-cause"&gt;Root Cause&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#why-the-folder-infrastructure-was-updated"&gt;Why the folder infrastructure was updated&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#resolution"&gt;Resolution&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;​&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;This post was last updated on June 27, 2022 by Pauline De Polonia, Engineering Manager at Hostari.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On June 20, 2022, Patches&lt;a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/6128850732739087108"&gt; 0.209.8&lt;/a&gt; and&lt;a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/6128850732740078767"&gt; 0.209.9&lt;/a&gt; were released by Iron Gate Studio, causing some updated servers to lose world progress.
