Hosting requires continuous computing resources.
Websites, servers and applications need reliable infrastructure, networking and storage. These requirements create an opportunity to consider how hosting capacity is powered and operated.
SolarCompute is developing renewable-powered infrastructure for WordPress websites, domain and DNS services, virtual servers and applications across Australia's distributed network.
SolarCompute's long-term vision is to extend its distributed compute network into renewable-powered hosting infrastructure. Eligible machines could support persistent digital services, not just individual computational jobs.
Websites, servers and applications need reliable infrastructure, networking and storage. These requirements create an opportunity to consider how hosting capacity is powered and operated.
SolarCompute is exploring how solar generation, battery storage and suitable connected machines could contribute to a distributed hosting platform with appropriate reliability safeguards.
Rooftop solar produces renewable electricity.
Battery storage helps make renewable energy available beyond generation hours.
Approved machines could provide reserved capacity for hosting services.
SolarCompute could coordinate suitable hosting resources across the network.
The goal is not simply more servers. It is infrastructure powered by renewable energy.
Exploring hosting for websites and web applications on suitable renewable-powered infrastructure.
Coming SoonPotential isolated virtual server environments with dedicated resource allocations and operational safeguards.
Coming SoonFuture hosting for persistent applications, APIs and container-based services.
Coming SoonExploring how eligible machines could contribute hosting resources alongside the wider SolarCompute compute network.
In PlanningPersistent hosting requires additional engineering beyond individual compute workloads, including resource reservation, secure isolation, dependable networking, durable storage, monitoring and recovery when machines become unavailable.
These capabilities must be developed and validated before SolarCompute offers commercial hosting services. This page describes the future direction, not a currently available hosting product.
