What our subscribers say about us
Cloud68.co has been an absolute game changer for me. Their hands-on approach to open source hosting is exactly what I was looking for. My company has Keycloak, WriteFreely, Invoice Ninja, and BookStack instances with them, and everything runs smoothly. What really stands out is their responsiveness — whenever I have a question or need support, they’re quick to reply and always go the extra mile to help. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and the open-source ecosystem, not just as a business but as a philosophy.
After several months of hosting provided by cloud68.co, I can only say that the Team is competent, responsive and always kind. When we had any problems, they were always resolved within a few minutes or at most a few hours.
A truly satisfying service.
We love everything about Cloud68. They are a values-aligned hosting provider who enable us to use platforms that match our free and open values. They are mission-driven and community-oriented. Their tech support is top-notch and highly responsive, and they are always working to broaden and deepen their offerings and services.
Given the fact that Open Belgium celebrates a variety of open initiatives in Belgium and beyond, an open source infrastructure for the online event was really important to us. Cloud68.co supported us with that infrastructure, but also guided us in creating the best possible set-up for our specific needs. The stable infrastructure, the very responsive team, the efficient and clear communication brought down the stress levels that come with organizing events. We knew we were in good hands! Thank you Cloud68.co for the partnership!
Cloud68.co team knows open source since a lot of years, they understand what is the best solution for your needs and configure it for you without need to bother about specific settings. It is a hosting more powerful than usual with various software supported, not just the usual one.
In the young and ambitious team of Cloud68.co we found kindred spirits with a dedication for open source, privacy, and the commons. They showed us that it was not only feasible, but also effortless to switch our business from commercial legacy software to open-source alternatives, providing a seamless transition and excellent, professional customer care. We are proud not only to be Cloud68.co’s clients, but also count them as our friends and co-conspirators.
At Book Sprints we have our origins in open source, and switching to the open source hosting services of Cloud68.co just feels right. Cloud68.co made the migration absolutely smooth and effortless for us. It is a pleasure working with the Cloud68.co team - professional, efficient, and lovely people!
Our genomics research company is based on our reputation and trust. We create very large data sets for our collaborators all around the planet. To do that well, we need a reliable, secure infrastructure to store and transfer the data. Open source and self-hosted or managed hosted are fundamental. The team at Cloud68.co has been the very best. They migrated our data from another company, provided excellent support, and demonstrated deep technical know-how. They optimised the platform setup and location to meet our and our collaborators’ needs. We highly recommend Cloud68.co to other small businesses.
When we began to think about building an online community for ecological imagination and collaborative research and design practice, we knew that we had to rely on open source tools rather than corporate digital infrastructure. We wanted to build our platform with tools that shared in the spirit of generosity and radical possibility that animates our own endeavor. We were so lucky to come across the good people of Cloud68.co, who have made it possible to realize this vision. More than digital developers or consultants, they have truly walked alongside us as engaging co-travelers and supportive partners on our journey. We simply wouldn’t be here without them.
We choose to work with Cloud68.co because they understand Open Source, are reliable and responsive and offer an excellent service. Also because we like them! I highly recommend Cloud68.co for those seeking professional Open Source services.
