Hey dear community, we just launched today our fully managed hosting of Lemmy

We offer to do Deployment / Security / DNS / SMTP / Monitoring / Alerts / Backups / Automated updates / Handle migrations / Fully automated but with Human support :)

We deploy each instance on a dedicated VM, and we provide full root access as well if you want to customize anything.

Pricing start at $10/month (billed hourly, no contract)

I would love to get some feedback from the community

Let me answer to this properly:

We have interest in Open source in general, not only Fediverse even if we also support Mastodon and also soon KBIN and Pixelfed
We contribute in code to some projects, and we also give back part of our revenues to open source authors partnering with us
There is NO lock-in, at any time customers can download a full backup and run their stack anywhere else
We (human support team) have no access to customers servers unless customers give us the permission and share access with us for investigation

ad 1. You seem to not have paid much attention to the fact that part of the audience you are talking to is leaving another company's platform because of what is now called "enshittification". Part of that includes targeted advertising. Why would a cooperative that is driven by such an interest trust your agency?
ad 2. Hope so that you are paying your contractors! ;-)
ad 3. I'll take it. potentially.
ad 4. bruh!

You can Relax knowing that we are taking care for you of install, configuration, encryption, backups, software updates, os upgrades, live monitoring, alerts, live migrations without downtime ...

I can also relax as the NSA and certainly others too, keep backups of all my tracking.

Hey brave anonymous

ad1) We are not related to Reddit in anyway, we are open source lovers, no lock in, we want to create an ecosystem for open source authors ... not another AWS ...

ad2) Of course we do! Why do you always guess the worst?

ad3) Potentially? what do you mean? https://docs.elest.io/books/backups/page/overview We have several ways of doing and downloading full backups including the data and the software stack to be run anywhere else ....

Finally, all backups are encrypted, so not sure about NSA or anything else ...

Question for you: are you taking your pills as prescribed by your doctor? :)
