✓ Infrastructure I Actually Use

My Go-To Hosting Stack

Two hosts do all the work behind my projects. RackNerd runs the VPS and bare-metal side — QRCode42, QRMenu42, QRMarket42, Open WebUI/Ollama, and the infrastructure behind Frequency42 LLC — with real KVM virtualization, full root access, and prices that don't require a VC budget. Hostinger runs the managed sites, including this site and frequency42.com, on LiteSpeed with free SSL and zero server admin.

KVM Virtualization

Dedicated RAM and CPU — not shared. Your app doesn't slow down because a neighbor is running a cron job.

Full Root Access

I run Docker, Caddy, MariaDB, and custom stacks. No restrictions, no managed walled garden.

Price vs. Performance

A working VPS from ~$22/year. I run production services on these — not just test boxes.

Instant Provisioning

Pay and it's online in minutes. That matters when a client needs something spun up the same day.

Managed Hosting — Hostinger

When a site just needs to be online — not a server to run — this is where I put it. kylebutton.com and frequency42.com both run here. LiteSpeed, free SSL, PHP 8.3, daily backups, no server admin.

They save 20%, you earn 20%.

LiteSpeed + Free SSL

LiteSpeed web server with built-in caching and automatic Let's Encrypt certificates on every domain.

No Server Admin

PHP version, subdomains, email, backups, and DNS all handled from one panel. Nothing to patch.

Multiple Sites, One Plan

Higher tiers host unlimited websites — I run several client and personal sites off a single subscription.

Daily Backups

Automatic daily backups with one-click restore, plus free email and a free domain on annual plans.
