About Us
Human-led engineering for self-hosted software
We deliver the utility of application hosting platforms, replacing rigid automation with expert, human-led engineering.
VPS1 (vps1.dev) is a premium, high-touch Managed Service Provider for small businesses based in Brunei Darussalam. We deliver the utility of application hosting platforms like Elestio, but replace rigid automation with expert, human-led engineering.
Directed by our Resident Self-Host Professional, our team manually architects, deploys, and maintains open-source, self-hosted software on-premises or off-premises. You gain the power of dedicated enterprise applications without the stress of managing complex code, Linux configurations, or server terminals.
We believe in zero vendor lock-in. You retain full ownership of your data, virtual machines, or local hardware. No proprietary traps, no unpredictable scaling fees. Just expert engineering tailored to your business.
