-## Uploading packages to Octopus Cloud servers \{#uploading-packages-to-octopus-cloud-servers}
+:::div{.hint}
+We are in transition between two systems for managing Octopus Cloud subscriptions. We refer to the new system as Control Center V2, and it replaces the original [Control Center V1](https://octopus.com/control-center). **Accounts** are created in both systems but all new **subscriptions** are created in [Control Center V2](https://billing.octopus.com/).
+:::
 
-Factors like geographical distance, network bandwidth, and network congestion may cause package uploads to your Octopus Cloud Server to take longer than expected.
+You can find all of your Octopus Cloud subscriptions in [Control Center V2](https://billing.octopus.com/).
 
-If you’re having difficulty uploading packages to your Octopus built-in package feed in the default timeout threshold, typically within 5 minutes, you might be affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above. In this case, you can try increasing the timeout threshold of the Octopus CLI or nuget.exe to a value that suits you. We also recommend using the Octopus CLI, **Octopus.Client**, or the **TeamCity Plugin (v4.41.0+)** because they use delta compression.
