  @maol One more quick question. So it's ok to create a custom server address as long as the correct port is listed?

  Yes it's using the standard DNS resolver library, so any domain name that resolves to your IP address is OK. I'm using a DynDNS type setup, too.

  Now I understand, thanks. Don't mind the inactive entry on Siahub. It may stay forever or may be purged by Siahub after a while, you can't do anything about it.

  However, if you can restore from backup the all the files that you deleted from the first host, then you can regain access to that host, and migrate it to another IP or another port on the same IP. I.e. re-activate the first attempt.

  However it still won't be possible to combine the two attempts into a single hosting instance at this time, and I'm not aware of any work going on to enable the merging of Sia instances.

  Keep the file size at a level that will allow you to manage them with reasonable effort through all scenarios, including backup/restore/BCM/moving servers/moving storage/etc.

  Having said all that - you can always change the file size later, up or down. So it doesn't really matter for now!

  I keep mine at 4TB.

  Seems the issue was fixed in the new release. Since 2 weeks, no more Host Unreachable. Working to raise my uptime back wich went down from 97% to 92% ...
  Also the nice thing in the new update is that on siahub.info the uptime is updated nicely :)

  Thx Sia Dev TEAM for the great work !!!

  Update -
  Even after updating to v1.3.2 - I get this and similar error.

  I checked windows "Event Viewer". EventViewer documents couple of error caused by SaiUI.exe, but no details. Only error message is - 0xc0000005

  A deeper research about this error message (see some of search results below) suggests me that Develper has written a bad code.
  Developers - Can you help ?

  ----------------------- internet search result ------------------
  DEP has been enabled for both hardware and software components since Windows XP SP2. However, some programs are still unable to be fully compatible with it. Some applications adopt a technique, usually called dynamic code generation, which doesn't tag these codes with an execute permission. As a result, this conflict gives rise to the problem. Besides, if software is developed without SafeSEH, it tends to cause 0xC0000005 error when DEP is enabled on the computer.

  If you encounter the error code because of DEP, you can contact the developer of the software causing the issue and ask whether they have a solution. Alternatively, you can disable DEP for the software in question and this can be done through following steps:

  @Pilske
  Yes to answer your question number 2, its fully possible and very easy.

  In-fact I have done the exactly same. Initially for couple of weeks, I was running SiaUI v13.1 from a laptop having 8 GB RAM.

  Later, I created multiple VMs. I move the full SiaUI from laptop to the Virtual Machine.

  I'm not SIA, and I generally I don't follow your analogy.
  I'ts quite cleverly thought to incentify hosts by having something at stake. If the host fails to show proof of storage when asked by the renter, it's a bad hosts. Bad hosts will be penalized in their ranking, and will loose the potential revenue and the collatteral at stake, that will be burnt - no one get's any benefit from it.
  Also note that the team behind sia is not the ones that you will buy the coins from. Coins are minted by miners, who will get reward for their mining - those coins can be bought at eg. shapeshift. SIA is very fair play and 100% regulated by the block chain.

  @reinisp : I agree with this and know it is important, but the height of bandwith usage should be fairly distributed and/or limited.
