DNSChoice will be moved!

Dear Readers,
the team of DNS-Choice.eu hereby informs you that our project parent ownOnline has decided to integrate our website infrastructure into its own. The reason for this is economic, furthermore a completely separate operation of our website is not necessary. This step was originally taken for marketing reasons. We will keep you informed. As this decision means in a way a rebuilding of our information service, which is not yet completely available, we ask for your understanding that we will not publish any new content on DNSChoice.eu until the move to ownonline.eu is completely finished.
Respectfully
The ownOnline DNSChoice Team [oodc]
