The Belief

The best software often comes from people who can't afford cloud bills. We believe infrastructure should be a gift, not a gate. If you're building open source tools, privacy-respecting services, public knowledge, or something strange and useful that doesn't fit anywhere else, we want to give you a place to run it.

The Gift

Linux VMs

Full root access. Run containers, host services, build what you need. Your machine, your rules.

No invoices

Not "free tier." Not "trial." Actually free. We don't want your credit card or your growth metrics.

No expiration

Keep it running as long as you need it. We're not going anywhere, and neither is your project.

Human review

We read every request. If your project makes the internet a little better, we'll find room for it.

The Place

Highland, Illinois

A small edge facility in southern Illinois, about 30 miles east of St. Louis.

Sandefjord, Norway

A retired nuclear bunker on the Norwegian coast. Cold war infrastructure, repurposed for something more hopeful. Coming soon.
