Under the Hood

Built on Real Infrastructure

Every server runs in its own isolated Linux container (LXC) on Proxmox VE — an enterprise virtualization platform on dedicated hardware in Washington State.

Containers give you dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage with near-bare-metal performance. Other users can't touch your files, and a crash elsewhere won't affect you.

You can watch up to 20 ads per day (15–45 seconds each). The more you watch, the faster you earn credits for upgrades.
