What features would YOU like to see the most on your server provider?

servury · March 8

Hello LES!

My name is Matteo Mathieu, I am the owner & developer of Servury, an anonymous / privacy focused VPS/VDS/Proxy provider. While Servury is going strong, I am constantly adding & upgrading features on our platform.

I want to know what kind of features / offerings YOU would appreciate and benefit from. I don't want to build Servury blindly. For example, one of our customers proposed custom billing cycles, and we implemented it - it's now possible to pay for a VPS day-by-day.

Currently, we do not have any "budget" VPS plans, but I am actively working on getting some new servers in colocation to offer cheaper plans. Additionally, we'll be offering dedicated servers and cPanel web hosting for cheap relatively soon.

I want the following feature:

Explain to me why you as provider will still be around in 2030.

That's the "feature" I want. Who knows what the future holds and I don't expect suppliers to have a crystal ball but hey I'm new give me money isn't selling me.

I'll make it until 2032 when time folds back upon itself.

The hosting forums version of "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

I really feel the time is right to bring back the pocket lamps.

I feel sad for anyone who does not understand this.

Fair question. Here's the honest answer: I'm a solo founder, I own the codebase, I own the brand, and as of this week I own hardware in colocation in Montreal. Servury isn't built on top of a reseller panel that disappears when a third party pulls the plug. The platform, the billing system, the API, the dashboard - I built all of it from scratch. Our 'Privacy is Marketing, Anonymity is Architecture' post hit #1 on Hacker News last year with 74K+ views. We're active on PrivacyGuides. We've been operating since 2025 and growing every month. I can't promise 2030 any more than anyone else can, but I can tell you the infrastructure is mine and I'm not going anywhere. I'd rather build this for 10 years than work for someone else for 1.

Seems like a reasonable response. Thanks!
