Raspberry Pi hosting

Your Raspberry Pi plugged in at a data centre, with a public IPv4 and IPv6 address.

Send us your own Raspberry Pi or order a Raspberry Pi 5 from us. We plug it into a rack in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, give it power and an internet connection, and you log in over SSH like to any other server.

The configurator works out the price for the Raspberry Pi and backup size you pick. Hosting is paid yearly, a Raspberry Pi from us is a one-off payment.

How ordering works

  1. A parcel with a Raspberry Pi in a case that has arrived at the data centre

    Pick your Raspberry Pi

    Choose a Raspberry Pi 5 with 2, 4 or 8 GB of RAM in the configurator, or send us your own with the system already installed.

  2. A technician sliding a Raspberry Pi into a rack slot

    We plug it into the rack

    Your Raspberry Pi gets its own numbered slot, power and a network cable. We let you know once it's connected.

  3. A connected Raspberry Pi 4 with a boot log on the screen behind it

    You log in over SSH

    The control panel shows its IP addresses, and from then on the server is yours. Install whatever you need.

What people run on it

A Raspberry Pi 5 is enough for a small website, a VPN for the whole family or home automation. And unlike the Pi in your drawer at home, it's always online.

  • Web server

    Nginx or Apache with PHP, your own domain and a Let's Encrypt certificate.

  • WireGuard VPN

    A safe connection from a café or abroad, through your own IP address.

  • DNS and Pi-hole

    Your own DNS server that filters out ads and trackers on the way.

  • Home Assistant

    A smart home hub you can reach from anywhere, even when the power at home goes out.

  • Docker containers

    Nextcloud, Gitea, monitoring tools and other self-hosted apps.

  • Monitoring

    Watch your websites and servers from a place that doesn't share their outages.

When a Raspberry Pi is no longer enough, move to VPS hosting in Europe on AMD EPYC with NVMe. Support will help you with the move.
