Managed Hosting

What?

I’m going to run a small-scale managed Mastodon hosting service, customers pay me US$12/month, I host a server for them. Simple.

It’s designed for smaller instances for now, I’ll update this if that changes, geared towards people who might want to have their own instance but don’t want to fork out the cash for the larger alternatives, and don’t have the technical expertise or time to host it themselves.

Customers will never have to even touch the command line, but moderation will be left to them through what is available to admins on the web interface.

Pricing

[All prices are listed in USD unless otherwise specified]

For $12 per month (or $34 per quarter, 5.5% discount!!) you will get:

  • One complete managed Mastodon instance, no linux knowledge required
  • 300GB of media storage
  • A server capable of holding a handful of active users
  • A free .com domain (or other similarly priced domain, available on request)
  • Choose from 6 locations:
    • Amsterdam (40 GbE)
    • Chicago (40 GbE)
    • Stockholm (40 GbE)
    • New York (40 GbE)
    • Hong Kong (10 GbE)
    • London (10 GbE)
  • Maximum 500GB bandwidth per month (subject to change)

Customs

  • BYO domains will not get a discount but are accepted, I’ll send you the IPs to point your A and/or AAAA records to
  • More storage can be accomodated for a price agreed on beforehand
  • Other Mastodon forks will be considered upon request
  • Cloudflare proxy available only if requested before setup

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • About a third of the price of larger alternatives
  • Accept Monero
  • Support yet another fedi trans girl
  • Personal hosting; not systematic
  • Lots of storage for very cheap
  • Six locations to choose from

Cons:

  • No systematic payment system, DM me and we work it out
  • Kind of rough for now, no dedicated website or anything (yet…)
  • Not as experienced as alternatives

I am looking at improving, if you can think of a way I could get better please do tell me and I’ll look into it.

Rules

Just because I accept Monero doesn’t mean I’m the next Poast. Buying your server through me means you agree to follow my relatively loose rules of:

  1. No harrassment (including block detection & evasion bots)
  2. No hate speech
  3. No far-right bullshit
  4. No bad-faith or intentional discrimination (Unintentional discrimination will still be pointed out and asked to be stopped, just with less priority)
  5. No general assholery: Don’t make the instance just to be a rude little shit
  6. Follow Australian, server-local, and your-local law

Breaking the rules will result in one warning, and then depending on the offence suspension without warning or refund on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th major rule-break.

Instances found to be intentionally hosting any form of CSAM, real or not, will be suspended with no refund, warning, backup, or otherwise instantaneously.
