Summary

  • Tideo announced an end to hosting on 1 April 2025, stopped further billing from 4 February and gave customers a window to retrieve their files.
  • Connect365's business-IT offer and a named farewell put the surviving Tideo registry contact in context: a service was being withdrawn, while the notice described a continuing business.

Kevin Als signed the goodbye. In Tideo's hosting-closure notice, he thanked the Danish gaming community for its trust over the years. Around that personal message sat the less sentimental business of closing a hosting service: invoices, control panels and a final date for taking files away.

The announcement set 1 April 2025 as the end of hosting. Further charges would stop on 4 February; existing and prepaid services would run through the wind-down. Customers were promised access to their game and control panels until the April deadline. The notice put the job of making backups on them and said the data would then be permanently deleted.

Those details give the closure its practical shape. Stopping the next invoice and preserving a customer's files are separate tasks. Tideo offered a period in which users could still reach the controls needed to leave. Whether individual customers completed that move is not established by the notice.

A different business beyond hosting

The same announcement said Connect365 ApS, which it described as Tideo's parent, would continue with managed IT and connected-device services. On Connect365's website, the offer is recognisably aimed at businesses: setting up networks, Wi-Fi, servers and workstations or point-of-sale systems, alongside embedded systems and support agreements. It is a different proposition from renting somewhere to run a game server.

There is also a concrete link between the names. The Connect365 site gives Danish company number 38351222. The RIPE organisation record for Tideo ApS carries that same registration number. The labels differ; the number connects these two public records.

This makes “Tideo Administration” easier to place. AS210972's registration uses it for administrative and technical contact. It is a role record, not a separate company. RIPE's role model lets one or more people share a durable contact as staff change. A functional label in that database can coexist quite ordinarily with a named person signing a customer announcement.

The network entry outlasted the deadline

The routing trail continued later. A fixed-window RIPEstat history places the address block 45.95.115.0/24 under origin AS210972 in intervals after April, extending into October 2025. The 26 October 2026 snapshot reports no observed prefixes for that AS.

A network announcement shows a route to addresses, not which customer service runs there. The later observations therefore establish a longer routing history, rather than an extension to Tideo's promised hosting term. The customer deadline remains the one in the closure notice.

The most consequential surviving instruction is still to take the files away. Connect365 could advertise its next line of work, and a registry could retain Tideo's old contact, while the hosting notice required customers to finish their own exit. That is the transition these records document—not a disappearance inferred from the absence of a person's name in a technical database.

Corrected 27 October 2026: Added the hosting-closure announcement, Connect365's published business offer and dated routing evidence. Removed unsupported claims that role contacts, separate handles or old edit dates establish evasion, separate teams or neglect. Original URL, publication date and access retained.
