We operate on a bare metal server and have a great uptime record. We don't cut corners on cheap, insecure hosting, we satisfy your need for speed.

A friend and I started the social media site https://xephula.com and we have spent about $3,000 to customize the code. We currently have about $180 in monthly expenses for VPS hosting and a transactional email service.

We are currently experience a large increase of user registrations and online activity, due to the censorship on big-tech websites. This is straining our VPS resources and we are in need to upgrade our hosting to a dedicated server.

The dedicated server is $3600 up-front for a year of service.

Xephula got it's start with people who were deplatformed from big-tech websites. It grew through the values of its founders, contributors and end users. We are offering a platform for all, where content creators can thrive on a fair playing field that is not rigged in favor of a political agenda or a few wealthy content creators.

We are dedicated to opening up the Internet for everyone.

Thank you for your consideration in helping us out.

UPDATES

New, Upgraded Server
December 19, 2022

We are moving to a new, upgraded server. The server has a newer Intel processor, Alma Linux 8 and a 1TB NVME drive. I paid for 1 year up front to get 30% off, so now our server expenses are even less. We are still on a 10GB/s connection to the world and have daily "rapid restore" backups. 

We have been operating now for 3 years. The last 2 year have been funded 50% by donations and 50% by me. 

The new server, email and Wasabi object storage, to keep my own backups, will be $200 per month, which brings it down from the current $320 per month. 

Onward and upward!
