What We Offer
+ +Our service is built upon Debian GNU/Linux, Kerberos, +OpenAFS, and our custom services manager Domtool. Using +Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains +and sites in shared daemons without needing to request +anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic +Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own +daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.
+ +We support Free Software, releasing all of our custom software under Free licenses, and using +only Free Software for our infrastructure.
+ +Our servers are +colocated at Peer1 in New +York City. They have excellent connectivity, several +layers of power redundancy, and helpful on-site +staff.
+ +Storage | Around ten gigabytes of + storage. You can request more disk space as needed; we have + quotas in place to prevent over-subscription of storage and + strive to grant any reasonable requests so long as we have the + resources for it. As we add more storage, all members + benefit. |
Bandwidth | We currently have a 5Mbps + connection (95th + percentile billing) burstable to 100Mbps. If your sites see less + than fifty or so gigabytes of traffic per month, we can feasibly + host you. |
OpenAFS | A + publicly accessible OpenAFS cell + (/afs/hcoop.net/ the whole world + round). This lets you access your HCoop storage as + if it were local disk on every major operating + system. |
Web Hosting | General web hosting + with Apache, featuring the usual languages (Perl, PHP, Python) + and databases (PostgreSQL and MySQL). Unlike many providers, + we'll install most anything available in Debian so you can run + that Haskell web application with ease. |
Mail hosting for unlimited + domains (including webmail through Roundcube, + IMAP, and POP3 access), with the ability to create virtual + mailboxes for friends and family. | |
Mailing Lists | Mailing lists through + GNU Mailman. Members host lists for pretty + much anything: volunteer organizations, Linux User Groups, + programming language development, even coordinating homebrewing + sessions. |
Shell | A shell account on a machine running Debian's + latest stable release. We don't mind folks idling + on Freenode, and you're free to do things like + building software. |
Etc. | Volunteers host shared + services for the benefit of all members. These currently include + a git server, managed MoinMoin install, and Jabber + (YOU@hcoop.net). We hope to offer GNU Mediagoblin, + Diaspora*, Gitorious, darcsweb, and other services in the future + (or: insert your idea here). |
