Monoceros Digital Consulting now offers hosting of private Mastodon instances. Mastodon is an open-source defederated social media network, where you can create your own private server and link (or “federate”) it up with other servers. Private servers are the perfect way to carve out a small, focused space on the Internet in which to share your views, promote your products, or hang out with your peers.
The basic service starts at $15/month, and is best suited for small businesses and private instances with up to 5 user accounts. Each instance comes with unlimited data storage, ten processing threads and our personal attention. We make sure that all servers are kept healthy, so that you can focus on shaping your community and engaging with your followers. We also let you scale up your instance as needed.
But what if you’re following so many accounts that your instance is starting to fall behind? What happens when you get more account sign-ups than you can easily handle? When that happens, you can easily buy extra capacity, with practically no downtime for your community.
