Personal, always-on hosting

Your own server.
Always on. Yours for life.

A Gemnode is your own dedicated slice of resources — a fixed CPU, RAM and SSD allowance, running around the clock. No monthly bill, no surprise renewals. Pay once, own it for life.

What is a Gemnode

Think of it like your own Mini PC — living in our data center.

Not open-ended shared hosting where everyone competes for the same pool. A Gemnode holds strict, reserved limits — a fixed CPU, RAM and SSD allowance that's set aside for you, online 24/7, that you buy once and keep.

Dedicated resources

Strict per-node limits mean the CPU, RAM and storage you pay for are reserved for you — not first-come, first-served.

Always online

Your node runs around the clock in our facility — no need to leave your own computer on.

Own it outright

One payment. No lease, no subscription, no renewal notice. It's yours for as long as you want it.

Scaling

Scale exactly how you grow.

Two simple ways to grow — add room to the node you have, or add a whole new node for a separate job. Both are one-time payments, forever.

Scale up

Add storage

$10 per 1GB · one time

Running low on space on a node you already have? Grow its SSD in 1GB steps, whenever you need to.

Scale out

Add a node

$20 per node · one time

Want to keep workloads separate, or just need more compute? Add a brand-new node with its own CPU, RAM and SSD.

Control panel

Run through DirectAdmin. Simple by default.

Every node ships with the DirectAdmin control panel, so day-to-day management never needs a terminal.

File manager

Upload, edit and organize your files straight from the browser — no FTP client required.

Databases

Create and manage MySQL/MariaDB databases in a couple of clicks, no command line needed.

Email

Set up mailboxes, forwarders and spam filtering for your own domain.

Softaculous

One-click app installs

Install WordPress, forums and dozens of other apps in a single click — no manual setup.

Code with AI

Prompt an AI to build, debug and deploy your project right inside the panel. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or other provider — no local setup required.

One node, one job

Give every part of your stack its own node.

Instead of cramming everything onto one server, spread your projects across nodes — each one dedicated to a single job, so nothing competes for resources.

Email

Run your own mail server on a node that's entirely separate from everything else you host.

Websites & static sites

Host a site, blog, or portfolio with its own resources — no noisy neighbors slowing it down.

Databases

Give your database a node all to itself for steady, predictable performance.

AI projects

Store and host the AI-built sites, tools and experiments you're starting to put online.

WordPress, forums & apps

Self-host WordPress, a forum, or any PHP or Node.js app with resources that are reserved for you.

Redis & caching

Add a node purely as a fast cache layer sitting in front of the rest of your stack.

AI projects

A great home for your first AI project.

Gemnode isn't a place to run autonomous agents — it's where you deploy what they help you build. Store your project files, host the site or app your AI helped you create, and ship updates straight from git or the Code with AI tool in your control panel.

  • Store and host your AI-built projects and files
  • Deploy straight from git over SSH
  • Build and ship with Softaculous's Code with AI tool
  • A low-stakes way to get a first project online

Ownership

Pay once. Own it forever.

Most hosting is really a lease — you keep paying, or you lose access. A Gemnode works differently.

Typical hosting

  • Monthly or annual fees, forever
  • No guaranteed resource limits — noisy neighbors slow you down
  • Price jumps after your first term
  • Access ends the moment you stop paying

 Gemnode

  • One payment, lifetime access
  • Strict, reserved resource limits — always there when you need them
  • The price is the price. No renewal hikes
  • You own it — keep using it for life
Pricing

Simple pricing. Paid once.

No tiers to decipher, no hidden renewal pricing. Start with one node and grow exactly how you need to.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes — every Gemnode comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not the right fit within your first 30 days, contact us for a full refund.

You pay once for a node — and for any storage or additional nodes you add — and it's yours to keep running for as long as Gemnode operates the service. No recurring bills.

Yes — Gemnode is a great starting point if you're experimenting with AI. Store your project files and host the sites, tools or apps your AI helps you build, and use the Code with AI tool in your control panel to build and deploy without needing your own server setup.

Scale up by adding storage to an existing node ($10/GB) or scale out by adding another full node ($20) — whichever fits how you're growing.

Static sites, WordPress, Node or PHP apps, databases, Redis, mail servers — it's your node.
