What setup do you run now for your witness server, and do you have redundancy backup? Maybe this is interesting to know, for the ones who care also about the health of the blockchain. A friend of mine was running a witness before, and I gave him the hardware for it. It was one of the few, if not the only server back then, that was local and not remote. It also had a backup serve online, in case of power outage.

Since I was very low in the ranks and I ran the server at a loss for +1 year I thought there was no need for a redundancy backup.
But well, things are changing. Might have to consider it.
The witness is on a VPS from privex with the following specs:
CPU: 4 Core
RAM: 16 GB
SSD: 500 GB
OS: Ubuntu 20.04
pretty much the standard, It's been running without any major incident since ~3 years almost
Thank you for the detail. Privex is good, even there are some doubts if the chain can function, if the servers are down, as most witnesses use privex servers. The devs have made an amazing job at keeping the requirements at this level, with the increase in infromation needed.
