12 <h3>What We Offer</h3>
13
14
15 <p>Our service is built upon Debian GNU/Linux, Kerberos,
16 OpenAFS, and our custom services manager <a
17 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/DomTool">Domtool</a>. Using
18 Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains
19 and sites in shared daemons without needing to request
20 anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic
21 Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own
22 daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.</p>
23
24 <p>We support Free Software, and release all of our
25 custom software <a
26 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Code">under Free
27 licenses</a>, and are committed to using only Free
28 Software in our infrastructure.</p>
29
30 <p>Our <a
31 href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/Hardware">servers</a> are
32 colocated at <a href="http://peer1.net">Peer1</a> in New
33 York City. They have excellent connectivity, several
34 layers of power redundancy, and helpful on-site
35 staff.</p>

42
43 <tr><td><strong>Storage</strong></td><td> Around ten
44 gigabytes of storage. You can request more disk
45 space as needed; our quotas are only in place to
46 prevent oversubscription of storage. As we add
47 more storage, all members benefit.</td></tr>
48
49 <tr><td><strong>Bandwidth</strong></td><td>We
50 currently have 5Mbps (<a
51 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing">95th
52 percentile</a> billing) burstable to 100Mbps. If your
53 sites see less than a hundred or so gigabytes of
54 traffic per months, we can feasibly host you. As
55 membership expands, we intend to get more bandwidth
56 (hopefully 100Mbps unmetered eventually).</td></tr>
57
58
59 <tr><td><strong>OpenAFS</strong></td><td>A
60 publically accessible <a
61 href="http://openafs.org">OpenAFS</a> cell
62 (<tt>/afs/hcoop.net/</tt> the whole world
63 round). This lets you access your HCoop storage as
64 if it were local disk on every major operating
65 system.</td></tr>
66
67 <tr><td><strong>Web
68 Hosting</strong></td><td>General web hosting with
69 Apache, featuring the usual languages (perl, php,
70 python) and databases (PostgreSQL and
71 MySQL). Unlike many providers, we'll install most
72 anything available in Debian so you can run that
73 Haskell web application with ease.</td></tr>
74
75 <tr><td><strong>Email</strong></td><td>Mail hosting for unlimited domains (including
76 <a href="https://webmail.hcoop.net">webmail</a>
77 through Roundcube), with the ability to create
78 virtual mailboxes for friends and family.</td></tr>
79
80 <tr><td><strong>Mailing Lists</strong></td><td>Mailing lists through GNU Mailman.</td></tr>
81
82 <tr><td><strong>Shell</strong></td><td>A shell account on a machine running Debian's
83 latest stable release. We don't mind folks idling
84 on Freenode, and you're free to do things like
85 building software.</td></tr>
86
87 <tr><td><strong>Etc.</strong></td><td>Shared services for the benefit of all
88 members. These currently include a <a
89 href="http://git.hcoop.net">git server</a>,
90 managed <a href="http://moinmo.in/">MoinMoin</a>
91 install, and Jabber chat. We hope to offer GNU
92 Mediagoblin, Diaspora*, Gitorious, darcsweb, and
93 other services in the future.</td></tr>
