feature1_text:
With Mastodon you run your own social media instance. At ungleich we
are providing the hosting for you, but if you ever want to host it
elsewhere, we provide you with the necessary exports to do so.

feature2_text:
The low power Kubernetes hosting not only is very environment
friendly, but also very friendly to the budget. By using significantly
less resources, you contribute to saving the environment as well as
spending money on resources you don't need.
When starting small, you always have the possibility to grow your
cluster in the future, reacting to the actual needs.

feature3_title: Dedicated & 100% IPv6
---
feature3_text:
Your Kubernetes cluster is running on dedicated hardware. No
interruption, no rescheduling, no peer pressure. All resources are
completely usable by you.
All our Kubernetes cluster are fully ready for the IPv6 world:
all nodes are running on an IPv6-only network. For IPv4 reachability
we offer you dedicated mapped IPv4 addresses.

## The ungleich Low Power Kubernetes Hosting offer
Our Kubernetes Hosting might be the world's most environment friendly
Kubernetes hosting out there. Not only are all components carefully
chosen to use as little energy as possible, but additionally the
electricity is coming from 100% renewebale energy sources.
## Environment friendly, for real
Other providers are dealing with Carbon Certificates, offsetting their
energy and claiming to be green. None of that makes sense to us, as
the emissions are produced nonetheless, fossil fuels are used or
nuclear energy contributes to running your Kubernetes cluster
elsewhere.
Here at ungleich we start from the beginning and continue to improve
our energy usage every day. Not only are we using a 100% renewable
energy (locally produced!), but we also research specific hardware to
optimise the energy usage required by Kubernetes clusters.
##
Each Kubernetes cluster consists of 3 or more k8s nodes. While you can
grow it with adding individual nodes, we recommend to grow it in
numbers of 3. The reason for this is the underlying storage technology
[Ceph](https://ceph.com/) that saves each of your data blocks 3 times.
## Failure resistent
As your workload is running on any of the k8s nodes, maintenance work
and failovers can be executed without interrupting the services
(assuming your workload is deployed accordingly).
## Storage support included
Using a built-in dedicated Ceph cluster we provide you with persistent
storage that can be accessed using standard Kubernetes PVCs.
As every k8s node contains a dedicated SSD, by adding new nodes, your
storage cluster automatically grows as well.
As the Ceph cluster stores every object 3 times, the 1 TB SSD of
each node contributes about 300GiB usable storage.
## Simple Pricing
Our pricing is very simple: Each pack of 3 node nodes is 225
CHF/month. This includes rental of the hardware, network traffic,
electricity and maintenance of the kubernetes cluster.
You don't have to worry about additional storage, network fees or
other hidden costs.
## The Mastodon Setup
When you want to run mastodon and be part of the fediverse, you need a
domain like YOURNAME.social. This is the domain that your users will
be known under.
