# RentaNet - Managed Linux Servers, Fully Managed by Claude Code

Australian owned and operated since 1998. Cosmix containers on Proxmox VE — web, mail, DNS, CMS and PIM in one lightweight container — administered end-to-end by Claude Code under the supervision of Linux experts with 28+ years experience. Built by Claude Code users, for Claude Code users. Your own server with personal phone and email support.

## Managed by Claude Code

This website and the servers behind it are administered by Claude Code under human supervision. Routine operations — package updates, certificate renewals, DNS changes, deployments, monitoring — are executed by AI agents and verified by an experienced Linux engineer. Faster turnaround, fewer mistakes, an audit trail for every change.

## For Claude Code Users

RentaNet hosting is agent-friendly by design: SSH key access your agent can use, git-based auto-deploy on push, an ai.txt content file on every site, and a predictable single-purpose server layout that agents reason about easily. Customers are welcome to run Claude Code against their own rented server.

## Core Services

**Cosmix Containers**: Proxmox containers running the all-Rust Cosmix stack — web, mail, DNS, CMS and PIM in every container. From $79/year fully managed.

**Claude Coding**: AI-assisted development using Claude Code. Production-ready websites, scripts, and applications. $120/hour.

**Linux Consulting**: Server administration, security hardening, and troubleshooting. 28+ years experience. $60/hour.

**AI Questions**: Free hosting questions answered via ai@motd.com - our AI email service.

## Cosmix Container Plans

All plans are Proxmox containers running the full Cosmix stack (web, mail, DNS, CMS, PIM)
and include full management: updates, security patches, SSL certificates, backups, and
email support. The only difference between tiers is capacity.

**Pricing is a linear formula**: $19/year base + $20/year per resource unit, where one
unit is 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, or 10GB NVMe. Plans are convenient preset shapes; customers can
grow one unit at a time without migration.

### Lite — $79/year (3 units)

- 1 vCPU / 1GB RAM / 10GB NVMe (about $6.60/month)
- A complete online presence for one domain: site, blog, real mailboxes, DNS, contacts, calendar
- The all-Rust stack idles in a few hundred MB, so 1GB is comfortable

### Standard — $139/year (6 units)

- 2 vCPU / 2GB RAM / 20GB NVMe (about $11.60/month)
- Small business daily driver: several domains, team mailboxes, busier site
- The sweet spot for customers leaving cPanel-era hosting

### Plus — $239/year (11 units)

- 3 vCPU / 4GB RAM / 40GB NVMe (about $19.90/month)
- Agencies and busy operators: many domains, heavier mail flow, forum and file sharing

### Max — $419/year (20 units)

- 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM / 80GB NVMe (about $34.90/month)
- Consolidates every domain, mailbox and site in one managed container; priority support
- Costs less than a comparable unmanaged 4-core/8GB VPS (~$470/year) and includes management

### Also available (contact admin@renta.net)

- **Managed Debian VMs** on dedicated resources, for workloads that need a full VM
- **Managed BYO** — Claude Code operations on your existing BinaryLane, Vultr or
  DigitalOcean VPS; you pay your provider for the box, we run it

## Resource Add-ons

All add-ons are $20/year each — the same unit price the plans are built from. Add anytime
without migration.

- +1 vCPU — for busier sites and heavier builds
- +1GB RAM — for memory-hungry applications
- +10GB NVMe Storage — for growing mail archives and databases
- +25GB Bulk Storage — for archives and backups
- +1 Dedicated IPv4 — for SSL or mail reputation
