I’m excited to announce that starting today, pre-orders for Sandstorm managed hosting are now open.
All pre-order customers will enjoy free access to the beta once it’s ready, and beta invites will be distributed first-come-first-serve as capacity ramps up. Backers who pre-ordered Sandstorm hosting on Indiegogo will get beta access first, followed by the new pre-orders. Oh, and I’ll also send you some sand cat stickers in thanks!
Of course, you don’t need to use our managed hosting. You can always run Sandstorm on your own Linux box, using only open source code. We provide managed hosting so that those who don’t know how to run their own server – or just don’t have the time – have a way to run Sandstorm.
Whether or not you have any questions or feedback, come hang out with everybody in #sandstorm on freenode IRC!
Missed out on other perks during the Indiegogo campaign? Come get a shirt and some stickers at an upcoming meetup!
