Hosting for Personal Projects & Hobby Servers
Typical challenges

Sound familiar?

Built for: Private individuals with hobby projects, personal websites, home labs, VPNs, Linux learners and small game servers for friends.

Long contracts for a small idea

Minimum terms and setup fees are too much when you just want to try something out.

Unclear costs

You want to know what a server costs before you start, and be able to switch it off again.

Learning needs room to break things

A server for experiments should be easy to reinstall and cheap enough to throw away.
