- Owner, 2026-10-24: end of life in April 2028; the day is not given, so no end-of-life date is recorded. New customers are onboarded to Core (svc.core); Core Classic stays for existing customers until then.
- Owner, 2026-10-22: older texts that say "Core" mean Core Classic; the platform called Core today (aka Core 3.0) is svc.core.
- Owner, 2026-10-22: the On-Demand plan is not sold; it still exists for grandfathered accounts, with no monthly fee and $2.99 per egress hour. Its price may be published.
- Owner, 2026-10-22: support also runs in Eastern European Time business hours; the exact hours are not given.
