## Time to take full control of your social media

It's about time to take the control of your social media, where you and your community share your life and core values. Mastodon enables your community to stay connected without any compromise - be it your privacy, security, or control. You will be able to decide what matters to you the most.

## The ungleich Mastodon Hosting offer

Imagine your social media in a perfect world. Let's start with recycled server that runs with 100 % renewable energy. It will be hosted in a place with the highest security and privacy standards. The instance will be maintained by the experts who passionately believes in decentralisation and they will never think of selling or monetizing your data. And you have the full control of how the social media should run.

That's your Hosted Mastodon at ungleich.

## Simple Pricing

Our pricing is very simple: Each instance includes 45 CHF/month base
price that includes network connectivity, maintenance and software
upgrades. The rest is depending on the size of allocated resources
such as CPU core, RAM, SSD and HDD.

There is a 50 CHF one-time initial set up fee as Mastodon instances
are set up manually by our team.

## Limitless scaling

You can flexibly scale your instance as your community or userbase grows. We apply the following pricing for each resources.

* 1 CPU core: 3 CHF/Month
* 1 GB RAM: 4 CHF/Month
* 10 GB SSD (used for storing the database): 3.5 CHF/Month
* 100 GB HDD (used for storing media): 2 CHF/Month


## 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.

## Free domains

You can use your own domain, like social.YOURDOMAIN.org
or you can go with one of the following domains we offer for free.
Just keep in mind that once set, your domain can not be changed anymore.

The following domains are offered free of charge by ungleich:

* YOURNAME.ipv6.social
* YOURNAME.0co2.cloud
* YOURNAME.hjk.li

## How it works

After you order one of the offers below, our real human team will get
back to you with set up quetsions. After we receive the needed
information we will manually set up your instance on the server in our
Swiss datacenter. It will take 1 or 2 business days for completion and
we will give you the access information via email.
