Building is done on a real Hetzner server: qgis6.org a Hetzner EX42 Root server  about 50euro/month
Serving the site + docs is done on www2.qgis.org a Hetzner Cloud cpx31  160GB disk 14euro/ month (as cloud would be cheaper etc etc)

We can upgrade the www2 to a newer bigger CLOUD server, but that is about 35 euro/month for just 80Gb more..
Probably then it is better to leave the cloud, and just add an extra root server on which you have a couple of terrabytes... for 50 euro/month

Can we sit together in Den Bosch and do decide something on this? I really feel unhappy if people telling us "why is there even a need to care": we/I am not a sysadmin, so everybody with great knowledge and idea's: please help out!

> At some point - cleanup of old stuff just makes sense. Getting rid of version 2.14 and 3.8 (it probable should mean 3.8 and not 2.8 - right) would make sense. Documentation always focuses on LTR versions, so all the "in-between" versions that are older than 3-4 years could be deleted.

We still have version 2 (TWO) .8 .14 and .18 around :-) so it NOT a typo...
So: can I delete those?
And also 3.10 (as this is a 2018 release)

The QGIS-tests dir, contains the info available at:
http://test.qgis.org
BUT!!! that url/dns actually still points to the old server (qgis2)
That site hosts the ogcapif / wfs / wms tests (untill 26th of januari)???

Anybody feeling need or responsible for this?
We are not serving (yet) test.qgis.org from www2 ...
