Managed Mastodon Hosting

Managed Mastodon Hosting

Your social media account with Mastodon serves you and not a profit-seeking corporation. Just like traditional social media you can follow as many accounts as you like. Unlike traditional social media your account shows you only updates from people you follow. There's no adverts because nobody can inject unwanted content into your feed.

A Mastodon address looks a lot like an email address. We're @beasts@social.mythic-beasts.com. Our account (@beasts) is on our own server (social.mythic-beasts.com) which is run and managed by us. Just like email there is a wide choice of providers and when you use your own domain you can migrate between them.

We run managed Mastodon instances for organisations who want to run their own social media, and interoperate with tens of millions of users across tens of thousands of servers. We offer single user servers to act as the official social media for organisations, to multi user servers acting as a social community.

We provide a virtual server running a copy of Mastodon dedicated to your organisation. We keep the server and the Mastodon application updated, take nightly backups and monitor the instance. We apply optimisations from our experience of running multiple Mastodon instances to ensure smooth running of the service.

You can provision user accounts on your Mastodon service as you see fit. Be this official accounts only, signup to any member of your organisation or even accounts for the general public. You're responsible for managing and moderating the user accounts rather than any algorithm or AI choosing for you.

What are Mythic Beasts Managed Applications?

With our managed application hosting, we will install and configure Mastodon on your choice of virtual or dedicated server. We will take care of the day-to-day running of the platform, with 24/7 monitoring of the application, daily backups, review and installation of security updates for Mastodon and the underlying operating system.

You get a dedicated Mastodon installation, configured to your requirements for a fixed monthly fee and backed by our legendary support.

No lock-in

Using open source software means that you're not tied to a single cloud provider. Your data remains on your server and you can pick it up and leave at any time. It also removes many of the business continuity concerns associated with using a cloud provider's proprietary software.

Straightforward, sustainable pricing

Our managed hosting services are priced based on the specification of your server, plus a monthly management fee. No loss-leaders, or unsustainable "unlimited storage" plans. With over 20 years of customer-funded growth behind us, we're here for the long run.

You pay for what you need, with no complex usage restrictions or per-usage fees that can quickly increase the price on many cloud services. If you need more space, you can upgrade your service at any time.
