Why it's called Galaxy Cloud Solutions

The name isn't decoration. The goal (the real, lifelong one) is to put compute where nobody has put it before: in orbit, on the Moon, on Mars, wherever people go next.

We're at step one: a single ground station in North Dakota, earning the kind of reliability the rest of the plan depends on. It's deliberately small and deliberately well-run. Every VM you launch here is a little more fuel for the climb.

// what you get

A ground station you'd actually trust

The things that matter when you SSH in, and none of the enterprise overhead you'd never use.

Live in minutes

Your VM is built automatically the moment payment clears, usually online in three to five minutes, with login details in your inbox.

Isolated and firewalled

Your VPS can't be reached by other customers' VMs, and only SSH is open until you choose otherwise in Firewall Rules in the client portal.

Verified backups

Every VM backs up nightly to off-host storage. We check each archive's integrity every morning, not just that it wrote.

Full root, your rules

Real root SSH on a real KVM guest. Install anything, kernel modules included. It's your box. We just keep it powered.

Dedicated RAM and storage

The RAM and storage on your plan are dedicated to your VPS. CPU is shared.

Talk to the operator

Support isn't a ticket queue reading a script. It's the person who racked the server and wrote the provisioning code.

Dedicated KVM virtualization with direct support from the person who runs the hardware.

Small, and looked after properly

No reseller chain and no middlemen. We own the hardware your VM runs on and look after it ourselves.

01

Enterprise hardware

Server-grade hardware with ECC memory and enterprise SAS storage, built to run around the clock.

02

KVM virtualization

Full hardware virtualization with KVM. Your VPS gets its own kernel and dedicated RAM and storage, not a slice of a shared container.

03

Filtered and watched

The website sits behind Cloudflare. Traffic to and from customer VMs passes through intrusion filtering, and the whole setup is monitored around the clock.
