I've built vetr.is – privacy respecting host, looking for beta testers/feedback

5•falkensmaze66•12h ago
I've been working on something for the past few months and wanted to share it with you all. I've built vetr.is, a VM hosting service that's a bit different from the usual suspects.

What's special about it? ------------------------

   100% renewable energy - All servers run on geothermal and hydroelectric power in Iceland
   Privacy-focused - Tor network support, anonymous payments accepted
   Transparent pricing - Pay for exactly what you use, no hidden fees
   Server locations - Iceland (99.9% uptime, minimal latency across EU/US)
   Performance - AMD Ryzen & Epyc processors, NVMe SSDs
   Security - Full host disk encryption, isolated networks, regular audits
What I'm offering -----------------

I'm looking for 10 beta testers to try it out and give me honest feedback. First 10 people who register will get €15 in credit, enough to run a decent server (2 cores, 2GB RAM, 30GB NVMe) for a full month.

Why am I doing this? Because I want to build something that actually respects your privacy and doesn't nickel and dime you. I'd rather get real feedback from people who know what they're talking about than spend thousands on marketing.

What I want from you --------------------

   Try it out (even for a few days)
   Give me honest feedback: what sucks, what's good, what's missing
   Report bugs if you find any
   Let me know what you think about the pricing model
   Suggestions for features you'd actually use
The boring stuff ----------------

Standard terms, privacy policy, and acceptable use policy apply (no crypto mining, illegal stuff, etc.).

If you're interested, just sign up at vetr.is and send me the first 4 characters of your account number (ex. XXX3) via PM (or comment, whichever you prefer), and I'll apply the credit for you (first 10 users). No credit card or anything like that required to start.

Questions? ----------

Ask me anything! I'm here to answer questions about the tech stack, infrastructure, privacy features, or whatever else you're curious about.

What do you all think? Is this something that solves a problem you have, or am I missing the mark?

TL;DR: Built a privacy respecting VM hosting, giving first 10 beta testers €15 credit (1 month of a small server), want real feedback from the community.

Interesting! What is Iceland like privacy and regulation wise? And the obvious thing, someone signs up anonymous and runs a Tor exit node, can you "handle" that? Maybe you have ToS for that and switch it off?
