Servers for those
who teach and learn

A student with a thesis, a lecturer with a lab environment, a department running a research portal ā€” academic applications are reviewed with priority. A university email or GitHub link is enough for verification.

Real resources for
serious tasks

Scientific projects need real resources ā€” CPU for computation, RAM for large datasets, stable uptime for experiments. We select the configuration for your task and don't restrict operation time.

Technology in
service of people

NGOs, volunteer organizations, and environmental projects often operate with zero infrastructure budget. We believe hosting should not be a barrier for those doing important work.

FAQ

Frequently
asked questions

  • Configuration is selected individually for your project. Specify what resources you need in the application: CPU, RAM, disk. We offer everything from a minimal VPS (1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM) to more powerful dedicated setups for resource-intensive projects.
  • The server is provided for 1 year with the option to renew. Once a year we ask you to confirm that the project is still active and meets the program requirements.
  • Partial monetization is acceptable if it is not the primary purpose. Voluntary donations are fine. Paid access, subscriptions, or advertising as primary revenue is not eligible for the program.
  • You can, but chances are lower. We prefer projects that already have something real: a repository, a prototype, or an audience. If you only have an idea ā€” describe it in as much detail as possible and justify the technical need.
  • We ask that you notify us ā€” the server will be returned to the program pool. This is fair to other projects waiting in the queue.
  • Yes, the program is open to projects worldwide. Applications are accepted in Russian and English. We especially welcome international academic applications from universities and students.
