We've passed alpha and are now moving towards closed beta! In fact, we'll be demoing the platform to a potential customer next week -- and I'm excited!
For those unaware, #SpaceHost is the fully managed Fediverse hosting service that @reiver@mastodon.social and I are running.
Right out of the gate, we'll be hosting a wide array of Fediverse services including #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Calckey, #Pleroma -- and others!
I know that so many people have been waiting for this moment. I'm so happy that #SpaceHost is now in closed beta!
If you want to apply for closed beta access, here's where to sign-up:

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 🤷♂️
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.
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!
#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.
