I will be closing new sign ups on Masto.host for the next days.

Nothing major going on, just want to take my time and evaluate how the infrastructure is handling the recent influx of traffic, install new servers and move things around.

Hope you understand 🐘

In case someone is interested to be notified once new sign ups are open, please send an email to [email protected] and I will let you know when that happens.
I'm glad to inform that Masto.host sign ups are open again: https://masto.host/pricing/ 🎉

@mastohost
Thanks!

A couple steps took a while, then the credit card submission says "your subscription got stuck in processing"

@esh Really sorry about that. The system overloaded with simultaneous requests. Issue is now solved. Please check your email. Again, sorry.
@mastohost
No worries. Looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for putting it together.
@esh Anything I can help with, feel free to reach out.

@mastohost I'm curious if it's possible to use masto.host to host a Mastodon server that follows the "Mastodon Server Covenant".

In particular, is there another person with infrastructure access in the event you are not available?

https://joinmastodon.org/covenant

Mastodon Server Covenant for joinmastodon.org

@esh Yes, that is in place and multiple servers hosted on Masto.host have been approved for the Mastodon Server Covenant.
@mastohost don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I saw on your site that forks are not supported. Do you foresee supporting forks like glitch-soc at some point in the future? I'd love to use your service but have gotten used to features on glitch-soc, especially higher character caps.
@timelordiroh No, sorry. No plans to support Mastodon forks, only Mastodon main release.

@mastohost

Nice...

I'm still missing something like an imprint. Who are you and where?

Prices in some $ indicates a country outside the EU.

So i guess, customers from within the EU probably are not in the scope of masto.host.

@mastohost Are plan upgrades available in the meantime ?

@mastohost Any ETA on when that will be?

Sending an email now.

@jodilasky hopefully next week, today I am estimating Wednesday but yesterday I was estimating Tuesday. So, can't really say at the moment :)
@mastohost thanks! I sent you an email. 😃
@katherined Thank you. I will email back as soon as possible.
@mastohost thanks! And whenever you get to it. Congrats on being busy. 😁
@mastohost does this also count for an upgrade? 😊
@maureensays no, no :) upgrades/downgrades are still available.
@mastohost send ! :D i hope you’re fine ! 😍
@arthurforest Thanks :) Tired but good.
@jayatid @mastohost @Geekymary I’m on the waitlist! I have my dumb vanity domain purchased and everything

@menzenski @mastohost @Geekymary

Is it masto.menzenski 🙂

@jayatid @mastohost @Geekymary no, I bought the nzen.ski domain so I can set up a me subdomain for mastodon and be @[email protected] 😂
@mastohost if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
@support Thank you so much 🤗
@mastohost thanks for all the good work. I have a feeling that your consulting services will be in high-demand shortly.
@mastohost Seems like a solid idea. Thanks for taking care of us.
@mastohost You're a trooper, take care of yourself!
@mastohost love this. #SmallWeb isn't about huge userbases it's about servicing community. Well done.
@mastohost the amount of pressure on these boxes must be crazy lol
@mastohost Thank you for taking the time to make sure things are working well and continue to. We've been thrilled with the service.
@mike So glad to help :) Thanks
@mastohost I saw that on the website. Everyone is getting flooded with traffic & new users nowadays! Thanks for all that you do!
@darnell Glad to help :) Thanks

@mastohost In the last couple days I'm wondering what the current percentage is in regards to your 25% commitment...

https://masto.host/the-25-percent-commitment/

@ondra me too :) still, the network is growing and so is Masto.host. I feel like it's going well in terms of not hosting too much of the network.
@mastohost thank you for the service you provide Hugo. Been enjoying my hosted instance these past 4yrs, and just added one for my company. Good service!
@ton Thank you. Really glad to be able to offer the service.

@mastohost out of curiosity, do you have any statistics about how many new instances are being bought on your service recently (compared to the average or something like that) ?

Anyway good luck managing this and thank you again for the awesome service !

@Lapineige Still too early to say. The influx only started last week :)

Thanks

@mastohost thanks for the care and diligence for existing hosts! We appreciate you. 😽❤️
