Web Hosting That Doesn't Suck
I used to run a web host and kind of miss it. So I've decided to start a new one as a hobby. Here's the basics:
It Just Works™
Doesn't cost much (seriously it's like $5)
Includes tech and site support (within reason)
Uses PayPal Business for transactions (no sketchy friend payments)
Whatever it makes is reinvested back into it
So Here's the Plan
20 GB on NVMe SSDs
No bandwidth limit
SSH and Mosh access included
Make this old man feel useful 🥲
And all it costs is:
$5/mo
Launches 2024?
No random fees or tricks.
Service sucks? Cancel within 14 days and get a refund. This is the fine print. See? It's small.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know this isn't a scam?
It's not.
How sustainable is this?
I work full-time and this doesn't cost a lot to run. See here for more info.
What if that sugar daddy money stops?
I'll make a bunch of announcements and keep this funded at least a month out.
I need help with stuff.
Sure. Just make a ticket and I'll see what I can do.
Adult sites cool?
Yeah. Even the weird ones with guys and mustaches.
What does the SLA look like?
You'll be credited for any downtime at the rate Hetzner bills me per hour up to five dollars.
Are there resource limits?
Nope. Just keep it reasonable and don't hog all the RAM.
What if the server gets bogged down?
If this somehow goes gangbusters, I'll buy an extra server or download more RAM.
What the heck is a tchbnl?
tchbnl is a username I've used online for a long time. This is just a side project and originally lived at host.tchbnl.net (my personal domain - feel free to check it out).
