Other Possible Hosting
Other Services We May Provide
Workspaces
Kasm workspaces are instances that users access via a browser. It says it’s open source, but the description says it’s free to nonprofits, individuals, etc., so I’m not sure if we could do it. Worth a look anyway.
Instant App Hosting
https://www.pikapods.com offers app hosting from 1 dollar a month. Not sure how they are doing it (containers I expect), but it’s worth investigating.
- Fully managed, no servers to administer
- No tracking, no ads, no snooping
- EU and US locations available
- Use your own domain
calibernode.com is another example.
Secure Office Suite
https://www.onlyoffice.com/resellers.aspx has reselling of secure office suite.
Tor .onion Hosting
Ablative Hosting is an example of hidden hosting and can be set up on a VPS. The linked site is crap, though—the Tor site doesn’t work—I had to go to their clear site. Still, it describes it all well. Onion hosting, Tor hosting. I was unable to use it via Tor, so there’s an improvement we could do already! Has free shared hosting (link no longer works) too.
Places we may get service from
Reseller Hosting
buyshared.net has reseller plans that look good.
VPS
- We have used virmach.com to test out the system and had 2 VPS instances with the control panel embedded in a page on satoshihost.com—this worked fine. They also have an API, so with good dev we could make it seamless.
- Linode has a reseller plan.
- Crowncloud says they will give a discount to resell.
- SimplyHosting offers up to a 25% discount, and they start from 5 dollars for KVM-like but windows-based virtualization.
- WindowsVPS.host has Windows Server and KVM VPSs starting at 5 dollars.
- This video mentions some towards the end that might be useful for the “free” VPSs.
Dedicated Server
- Kimsufi has really cheap ones (now all presented together on OVH).
[update July 2022] Finally got to buy the cheap one but they add VAT regardless of address, and they demand KYC so I abandoned it. - Pebblehost has them starting at 20 dollars but only one IP address; 4 would be 7 dollars more.
