If multi‑lang is the goal, why not translate the output of the big labs?

Please inform the EU about this.

I only charge users for the devices they connect, it's cheaper than the competitors.

For hackers who love to run UniFi devices at home, I added a free plan that allows for 5 devices.

Hey, I’m Dries and I created UniHosted [1]. It's a service that hosts UniFi Controllers in the cloud.

While it’s possible to self-host a UniFi Controller, doing it right can be very difficult.

You need to take care of installation, backups, software updates and make sure it runs securely. A Shodan search reveals numerous instances where these controllers are exposed to the internet without proper security measures. This is why I created UniHosted.

I'm trying to raise the bar from a sec perspective, and I’m quite proud of the result. Everything is automated with Ansible, and new servers are provisioned using Terraform. Gotta love Infrastructure as Code! ;) We also use multiple cloud providers to manage the risk of a catastrophic event. Remember the OVH cloud incident [2].

Other solutions, like Hostifi, have gotten quite expensive. Servers cost money; I know that. But I feel that if I can generate a decent living from business customers, I can offer it for free for the rest of us (up to 5 devices).

You should know it’s a shared server, but it's a great way to get started.

I would love to hear your feedback, so feel free to ask me anything.

Hey this is Dries one of the founders of UniHosted. If you have any questions about UniFi or how we managed to give access away for free let me know.

I hope you will like it.

Cheers
