3 <h3>What We Offer</h3>
4
5 <p>Our service is built upon Debian GNU/Linux, Kerberos,
6 OpenAFS, and our custom services manager <a
7 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/DomTool">Domtool</a>. Using
8 Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains
9 and sites in shared daemons without needing to request
10 anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic
11 Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own
12 daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.</p>
13
14 <p>We support Free Software, and release all of our
15 custom software <a
16 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Code">under Free
17 licenses</a>, and are committed to using only Free
18 Software in our infrastructure.</p>
19
20 <p>Our <a
21 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Hardware">servers</a> are
22 colocated at <a href="http://peer1.net">Peer1</a> in New
23 York City. They have excellent connectivity, several
24 layers of power redundancy, and helpful on-site
25 staff.</p>

32
33 <tr><td><strong>Storage</strong></td><td> Around ten
34 gigabytes of storage. You can request more disk
35 space as needed; our quotas are only in place to
36 prevent oversubscription of storage. As we add
37 more storage, all members benefit.</td></tr>
38
39 <tr><td><strong>Bandwidth</strong></td><td>We
40 currently have 5Mbps (<a
41 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing">95th
42 percentile</a> billing) burstable to 100Mbps. If your
43 sites see less than a hundred or so gigabytes of
44 traffic per months, we can feasibly host you. As
45 membership expands, we intend to get more bandwidth
46 (hopefully 100Mbps unmetered eventually).</td></tr>
47
48 <tr><td><strong>OpenAFS</strong></td><td>A
49 publically accessible <a
50 href="http://openafs.org">OpenAFS</a> cell
51 (<tt>/afs/hcoop.net/</tt> the whole world
52 round). This lets you access your HCoop storage as
53 if it were local disk on every major operating
54 system.</td></tr>
55
56 <tr><td><strong>Web
57 Hosting</strong></td><td>General web hosting with
58 Apache, featuring the usual languages (perl, php,
59 python) and databases (PostgreSQL and
60 MySQL). Unlike many providers, we'll install most
61 anything available in Debian so you can run that
62 Haskell web application with ease.</td></tr>
63
64 <tr><td><strong>Email</strong></td><td>Mail hosting for unlimited domains (including
65 <a href="https://webmail.hcoop.net">webmail</a>
66 through Roundcube), with the ability to create
67 virtual mailboxes for friends and family.</td></tr>
68
69 <tr><td><strong>Mailing Lists</strong></td><td>Mailing lists through GNU Mailman.</td></tr>
70
71 <tr><td><strong>Shell</strong></td><td>A shell account on a machine running Debian's
72 latest stable release. We don't mind folks idling
73 on Freenode, and you're free to do things like
74 building software.</td></tr>
75
76 <tr><td><strong>Etc.</strong></td><td>Shared services for the benefit of all
77 members. These currently include a <a
78 href="http://git.hcoop.net">git server</a>,
79 managed <a href="http://moinmo.in/">MoinMoin</a>
80 install, and Jabber chat. We hope to offer GNU
81 Mediagoblin, Diaspora*, Gitorious, darcsweb, and
82 other services in the future.</td></tr>
