WhimyPi

Your website, on a little box you own.

We design your site, load it onto a Raspberry Pi, and you plug it in at home. No monthly hosting bill. The only thing you keep paying for is your domain name.

Sixty seconds on how it works.

Why people like it

We build it. You keep it.

Most small sites get little traffic but pay for hosting every month, and get poor care in return. We replace the plan with a one-time build.

1

One-time build

A clear price for the site and the box. No subscription hiding in the fine print.

2

It's really yours

Your domain, your Cloudflare account, your Pi. If we vanished tomorrow, your site stays up.

3

Plug it in, that's it

No port forwarding, no router settings. The box talks to Cloudflare, and Cloudflare serves your visitors.

4

A real person

You work with the same person from first chat to handoff. Updates, backups and a yearly checkup are an optional care plan.
