welcome 2 me blog
Thank you for considering me for your developer work! ❤️ I'd love to work with you. Read below for more information!
I now offer an alternative to DreamHost.
This hosting is an uncomplicated $10/month ($120 yearly) and is a great option for people who would like greater performance and support than what DreamHost offers, but still wish to manage their own code.
Unlike DreamHost and other hosting options, the plan will not magically grow more expensive each year -- I am committed to staying at the $10/month price point.
It comes with:
This is for people who are comfortable with coding their own site. I do not offer permanent coder services under the shared hosting.
A setup guide can be found here. Please contact me via email (stokoriel[at]gmail[dot]com) or via Discord (stokori) if you have any questions.
* Requires a small code tweak to your Lorekeeper code to allow trusted proxies
For people who prefer a more "hands-off approach" to Lorekeeper, I provide managed hosting.
What does this mean? I can do nearly everything coding-wise for your site.
I can:
If you're looking for a permanent coder to have on staff, then this what you're looking for!
Hosting starts at $30/month. Clients will be hosted on my Hetzner server network. By default, you have unlimited bandwidth and 40GB of storage.
More storage can be added at any time at the rate of $2.00 per 10GB. You can pay in monthly or yearly increments.
Additional dev work after initial site setup is discounted for people I host at $35/hour. This is as a thank you for choosing me for your hosting!
These are the services covered by managed hosting:
* Within reason. Some extensions are very large and may take additional dev time and/or compatibility patches to update.
| Shared Hosting is best for... | Managed Hosting is best for... |
|---|---|
| - People who are comfortable working with PHP | - People who don't want to worry about code |
| - People who can be their own permanent coder | - People who need a permanent coder |
| - People who can run their own local environment on their own computer | - People who don't have powerful home computers/laptops |
To summarize: You will need to run your own code for shared hosting, but there are no requirements for managed hosting.
I provide setups either on Hetzner or for either of my hosting options. I do not do Dreamhost setups.
Initial set up is a flat $40. This comes with no extensions.
Extensions can be added during site setup at $40/hr. Depending on your extension choices, most sites can be set up within 2-3 hours of billable time.
I try to be extremely fair with what counts as billable time. I will send you messages periodically throughout the development process, so you are aware exactly when and what I'm working on! I can explain as much or as little of the process as you'd like.
If you have an existing LK site and would like to transfer to my hosting services, I'm happy to help! I charge $40/hour with a one hour minimum charge. Most site transitions can be done within 1-2 hours. You will need to be comfortable providing any necessary logins -- for Dreamhost, this is usually your account and PuTTy logins.
I can also help with general dev work at my standard $40/hour charge. This can include adding extensions, updating your site, etc.
Depending on your idea, I can help with creation of custom extensions/features. Let me know what your idea is and we'll go from there!
