A new Fediverse service is coming.
Yes, I'm working on it.
What is it? Have a guess 😉

Because people are asking, "What is the $19 for?"
#
SpaceHost
fully managed Mastodon hosting.
Here's the breakdown of the costs:
1. server - $12 per month
2. backups - $3 per month
3. support + monitoring + management + upgrades + etc. - $4 per month
Yes, we'll be charging less for certain single-user instances -- but they won't be running Mastodon.

#
SpaceHost
is NOT for seasoned SysAdmins who are comfortable with Linux, and have no problem fooling around with Docker.
However, it IS for people who want to run their own instances, but don't want to spend time actively maintaining them.
The Fediverse needs new instances, and we've discovered that the DIY approach to instance administration is a big barrier to entry for many people.
And #
SpaceHost
will remove that barrier to entry!

Our goal with #
SpaceHost
is to have you up and running with your own Fediverse instance in 2 minutes.
That's right, 2 minutes!
When I tested it, I actually got out my stop watch to see how quickly I can accomplish this.
We want to make this quick, simple, and easy.

I didn't even intend to talk about #
SpaceHost
at length today.
My whole plan was to just share a screenshot, and reveal more this week.
But with mastodon.social and mastodon.online getting DDoS'd, I kind of have to talk about the importance of people starting their instances 🤷♂️
