Rootnode from scratch!

We are back and have a damn good shell account with Ruby, Python and PHP.

We are untrustworthy, unreliable and we do not provide official support. This is hosting for geeks. Are you one?

Make sure to read our philosophy before getting started.

Linux containers

Rootnode is trying to merge the best parts of shared hosting and VPS. We are proud to introduce Linux containers or LXC, a secure and stable platform, to fulfill your deepest desires :)

The container is a preconfigured, fully-fledged Linux system with great user isolation, guranteed resources and unrestricted shell access to run any software you like.

Web applications

The container is an ideal native environment for web application hosting in Ruby, Python and PHP. It runs Apache2 web server with Nginx as a reverse proxy in front giving you unlimited configuration options.

We are working on the Fastweb, a dedicated, high-available web app platform to process millions of request in the blink of an eye.

No limits

Our users get Rootnode account to do things quicker and easier. Because we don't want to make your work harder, we have a very flexible approach to the limits.

That means no transfer limits, expansible drive space, no domain limits, as long as you behave rationally. If you need more resources, ask for more and very likely you will get more.

Torrent coming soon

From the very beginning, we have been running Torrent service. It is very popular among users and distinguishes us in the market.

We have built our own blade server called Redneck to handle torrent traffic which was very interesting project itself.

VPN & proxy coming soon

This video is not available in your country? Not anymore. As geeks we feel strong need to be free and unrestricted.

With Rootnode VPN and proxy servers you can easily bypass country restrictions. Watch Hulu, listen to Pandora®, use Spotify™ now!

Satan inside

Rootnode users do things differently. Therefore, your account is equipped with Satan, the best command line service manager developed by us.

With fancy syntax and fast execution, it allows you to configure basic services such as domains, virtual hosts, mailboxes, ftp accounts and do many other tasks.

Community

Rootnode is all about community and being social. We use mailing lists to discuss our future and solve the problems.

We even decided to go open source. Now you can participate in code development and making this place better for everyone.
