A few providers have done this, and I thought I'd join the club. We get a lot of questions via tickets & Discord (sometimes), and while some of the LET peeps know who we are, many do not. I figured this may be a good opportunity to just say hi in a post that is not a promotion 
I'll keep it as short and sweet as I can!
About DF
- Pronounced Digital Fire (You can also call us "DF" for short)
- Started in 2009 in Florida, then moved to Massachusetts in 2016, 17 years in business this month
- Small Team
What do you sell?
Production-ready services: We offer services suitable for those who want to buy and use them in production, not leave them idle. Of course, nobody is stopping you from letting the VPS sit idle, but it'd be a waste of money to pay this much for an idle machine 
- Shared Hosting: Plesk, CloudLinux, JetBackups.
- WordPress Hosting: WP Cloud-powered, and some plans are PanelAlpha Engine-powered (a lot cheaper)
- VPS: AMD Ryzen and Epyc across the board, 8 locations (Los Angeles & Singapore are almost always out of stock)
- Bare Metal: Expensive, but stable, and very niche. We sell those on a "build per order" basis, and we offer them in the U.S. only. For those who are happy with a Single-tenant VM (for ease of management), where the whole node is dedicated to you and runs a single VM, we can do this at nearly any location where we have presence
- Email Hosting: Open-Xchange (via WHMCS marketplace) and Mailcow ($1.00/mo per Mailbox, and it is our own, unique offering and take on simple email hosting. It's actually pretty good, and customers who use it like it a lot because it gets the job done)
To Do
- A live location capacity status page for our VPS locations
- Add more stock in some locations
- Explore the possibility of expanding into other regions
Answers to some questions we've been asked before
- Port 25 on VPS: Blocked.
- $7.00/yr: No plans.
- Promotional offers: As often as we can.
Underlying tech:
- Shared Hosting: Plesk + CloudLinux
- WordPress Hosting: Panel Alpha with WP Cloud and PanelAlpha Engine
VPS:
- VirtFusion
- KVM
- QCOW2
Email: Open-Xchange & Mailcow
- Domains: Enom & Moniker
Why do you post on LET, despite being more expensive than many other providers? Why not? Some folks are still after a different type of product, and our promotions on LET have been successful (a huge thank you to all of you!
)
Fun Facts
- Our first hosting customer, who signed up in 2010, is still with us, and they have multiple active services. Many others have been with us for 10 to 14 years and are still going strong
- We currently have presence in 8 data center locations, and 8 was my jersey number back when I played basketball (I once dunked so hard, I broke the rim
) - I am an excellent cook

The purpose of this post is just to chit-chat. It's not for support requests (support is done via tickets). You can ask how I'm doing, how many cups of coffee I drink per hour, ask about expansion plans, stock availability, hardware configurations, and what my Christmas plans are (likely eat a big meal and take a nap). You can say "Hey, I like your services" or even "Hey! I am not a fan of yours", both are perfectly fine. You can, if you wish, share your experience, negative or positive, or just come and say hi. It's all good.
Welcome to our nice little chi-chat, drama-free corner. That's all

Yes. DM me at your convenience.
Actually began the negotiation process for more SG capacity today

When is the Brisbane location opening?
@DigitalFyre what is your stance on Fumos?
As soon as you start to truley believe.
Must have 4 arms.
I've heard good words, good luck with everyting
artificial idiot.

@crunchbits do your fumos have 4 arms?
And does each arm hold a Dark Moon Greatsword?
Free fumo when? (with purchases)
Legit considering a Fumo plush design if I could find someone to do it 😂
Use AI for basic design, then ask whether manufacturer in-house design team could provide more detailed design. Even the dakimakura bootleggers got internal upscaler&redrawer
Inquire more details with @crunchbits.
Inquire more details with @crunchbits.
NGL, that sounds like a good idea! If Crunch shared deets, I'm down lol!
👀
Don't forget to claim it under marketing expenses. Also, ask sample first. @crunchbits orders only 1-2 racks worth and must be hit with hefty small order surcharge. At 1K, that's enough to give out for years to come. Quick comparison: 1K fumo equivalent to 10pcs of new 64GB DDR5 sticks (today pricing)
There's also fumo-specialist artists with commission upward of $200
Can we get more of the $10 8C 8GB 9950X location Singapore, please?
As soon as we have stock, sure! But it will not come with 8 TB bandwidth, not in Singapore
I am working on it, so wish me luck!
we need more $10 8C 8GB 9950Xs, please
Based on the above facts, it has been concluded that.....
I luv @DigitalFyre
found a little mistake at Open-Xchange Email Page
Not asking for 8TB but can I hav 4C 8G for chap price? XD by chap i mean ridiculously deadpool pricing.
Thats something id pickup
We had a pre-order wave for Los Angeles on Monday that sold out on Wednesday, so I ordered another node on Thursday, and the pre-orders sold out by Friday night.
We post on Discord when there's something like that, and we have a wait list
Thank GOD for the business flow, and I am doing my best to keep up
Shoutout to our data center partners for their amazing support and the exceptional network quality!
Also, the thing you referenced has been corrected, thank you!
An 8 GB RAM VM from us will not be any lower than $10.00/mo
We actually got asked on Discord if we ever oversell, so I posted our "formula":
The total amount of RAM allocated to ALL VMs on the node will NOT exceed 184 GB or 248 GB. Actually, one of our Los Angeles nodes is "full," but it's only got 19 VMs hosted on it.
I am sharing a picture of the DigitalFyre team working hard! They deserve all the love!
Thanks tho, love the team!
when will be restock?
