I’ve been building ServerCrate from scratch as a performance-first hosting provider. Everything is self-managed on my own bare-metal dedicated servers in Los Angeles (NVMe Storages, Managed Servers for half the price, and upto 10 GbE uplinks for clients) with Path.net DDoS protection.

We offer:

Cloud VPS starting at $7.99/mo (NVMe, high-clock CPUs, fair-use 1–10 Gbps ports)

Game servers (Minecraft, Rust, etc.) with instant setup and addon pricing

A custom game panel, sub-user support, and trial servers

No reselling—this is all our own infrastructure

I’d love feedback from HN on:

The technical setup (networking, virtualization, security hardening)

Pricing clarity and sustainability (balancing gamer budgets vs. real costs)

Ideas for early customer acquisition without heavy ad spend

Would appreciate any blunt feedback from this crowd.
