How much does it cost?

We charge a flat fee of €7 per month, regardless of power consumption. This includes all services: colocation, IPv4 address, KVM access, and monitoring.

What do I need to send?

Your laptop and its power brick. We'll provide a prepaid shipping box - just pack everything securely and drop it at your nearest collection point. It's completely free!

What are the connectivity requirements?

Your laptop must have either an ethernet port or a USB port (we'll provide a USB ethernet adapter if needed). We connect all laptops via ethernet - WiFi is not available in the datacenter.

What kind of setup assistance do you provide?

We offer complimentary assistance with initial setup, including installation of most Linux distributions, Kubernetes clusters, Proxmox virtualization, and other common server software. Just let us know what you need, and we'll help you get started.

What are the laptop requirements?

Your laptop should be fully functional with a working power supply and either an ethernet port or USB port for connectivity. Age isn't a factor. We might modify your laptop to remove or power down the battery, wireless radios, etc. to ensure it can be used safely in the data center.

Where are your datacenters located?

We're based in Amsterdam and aim to work with Hetzner to provide colocation services in the US and across their European datacenter network. This ensures your laptop is hosted in professional, secure facilities with excellent connectivity.

What about security?

Your laptop will be hosted in Hetzner's professional datacenters with 24/7 security, climate control, and redundant power. We also provide basic firewall services and DDoS protection.
