How we run it

Run by us.
Nobody else.

A dedicated server, a handful of VPSes and years of Linux behind them. No panels, no managed platform, nobody else.

The setup

Hosting is
our thing.

Hosting has been our thing for years: home labs, Proxmox, Minecraft for friends and a TeamSpeak that ran forever. FlameNet Cloud is where all of that ended up. We set up the machines, keep them current and fix them when they break, at whatever hour that happens to be.

01 · The metal

Our boxes. Our setup.

A dedicated server and a handful of VPSes, every one of them Linux and every one of them set up by us. We have run home labs and Proxmox boxes for years, and it shows in how this is put together.

  • Dedicated server plus VPSes
  • Linux, administered by hand
  • Years of home labs behind it

02 · No panels

We used hosting panels. We outgrew them.

Panels are fine until you want to know what they are doing. Now everything is configured by us, so when something breaks there is nothing between us and the fix, and nothing on the box we did not put there.

  • No control panel in the middle
  • We know what runs on every box
  • Fixed by the people who set it up

03 · Mail and web

Our own mail. Not a mailbox on someone else's.

We run our own mail server and webmail on our own domains, for us and for friends. Every website, web app and in-game site we build is served from the same machines, over HTTPS.

  • Mail server and webmail we run ourselves
  • Mailboxes for us and for friends
  • Every site over HTTPS

04 · Game servers

From Minecraft to a full roleplay city.

We started with Minecraft servers for friends and kept a TeamSpeak running for years. Today it is GTA V roleplay, Project Zomboid and BeamMP, plus a test server where new builds break before they reach players.

  • GTA V roleplay, Zomboid and BeamMP
  • A test server for every new build
  • Never rented out

What you get

We do.

  • Run it ourselves

    Every server is set up and looked after by us.

  • Say what we record

    The privacy policy lists what each system keeps and for how long.

  • Fix what we break

    Including at 3 a.m., if that is when it broke.

  • Keep your data off the market

    No ads, no analytics, no data brokers.

What you don't

We don't.

  • Promise uptime

    This runs on our spare time. Things go down.

  • Keep everything forever

    Data can be reset or lost. Keep copies of what matters to you.

  • Rent or sell servers

    Not a host. Nothing here is for sale.

  • Support other servers

    We only run our own projects.

For the record

Not a host.

FlameNet Cloud is not a hosting company. We do not sell, rent or resell servers, game servers included, and nothing in our community is for sale. Everything here exists because we wanted to build it.
