FOSS-Friendly Managed Hosting by OpsHelp
We run your infrastructure so you can run your project. Built on Hetzner and Cloudflare — the same providers this site recommends. Open source tooling, transparent pricing, no lock-in.
Why Managed FOSS Hosting?
You Know the Stack
We use the same FOSS tools you already trust — Debian, Docker, Caddy, MariaDB, Restic. No proprietary cloud vendor magic. If you ever want to manage it yourself, every piece is documented and portable.
We Use & Contribute to Open Source
OpsHelp maintains open source tooling, contributes bug reports and patches upstream, and pays for FOSS software that we rely on. When you choose managed hosting with us, you're indirectly supporting the open source ecosystem.
No Lock-in. Ever.
Your data, your domain, your DNS. We use standard configurations and document everything. You can leave at any time with a complete export of your data and configuration. We'll even help with the migration.
Transparent Pricing
No usage-based billing surprises. No per-user pricing. No "contact sales" for basic plans. Just straightforward monthly pricing that covers the hosting, maintenance, monitoring, and support.
