We are a bit anti-“self-hosting”, but we are very pro community hosting! So we offer smol-scale managed hosting of just about anything you want that isn’t illegal, or at least isn’t difficult from a legal perspective. We have decades of professional hosting, system admin, and security experience!
We can do various things like some email services, website hosting, and GtS hosting.
We also write and modify software, and have tons of experience in several ecosystems.
Most of our managed hosting services include a free email box on neonforest.net.
There are two ways to contact us, either email us (contact+inquiries - at - heckin dot technology) or contact us on Fediverse via a direct message (aldercone - at - mastodon.art). We generally only work for friends, or friends of friends, but interesting projects are always welcome and we'll consider them.
We can potentially give you an email address on our email hosting system neonforest.net for $5 a month. If you are a Global Majority person (i.e. BIPoC) and can’t afford it, we’ll give you a box for free.
We may also be willing to host email for your domain!
We can managed host glitch social or gotosocial instances (single user or low user) that have limited federation for $15 a month (plus setup and configuration costs).
For $25 (plus setup and configuration costs) we can host your medium user limited federation or single/small user open federation server.
Other fediverse softwares are possible! This is a huge, varied area with a lot of choices, we can help you choose also!
We may be able to manage whatever “self-hosted” infrastructure you’re interested in. We charge about $10 per small service per month, and about $50/hour for setup (and any exceptional management).
There’s no fixed cost for these, and will be costed on a case-by-case basis, depending on impact on our shared infrastructure and the time required.
Example services we feel confident managing and hosting include:
Aside from hosting services, we may be able to help manage whatever infrastructure you find yourself having to care about, for $50-$75/hour, be this helping run your own self-hosted infrastructure, taking over the technical aspects of it, helping fix broken things, helping secure it against attacks, updating it, and similar.
Got a free software project that you need a bit altered? Need something created from scratch? Need help implementing things in your own projects? Let us know! We may be able to help. Whatever language, however old, or however weird! We have over 30 years of collective coding experience in basically all software ecosystems that exist (but particularly Python, C, Linux).
We do not use generative so-called AI for any project, in any capacity. Handcrafted things from us only!
