IT System Training and Support
Make learning BSD based systems easy and affordable to everyone!
About us
BoxyBSD is a small non-profit project that gives people free access to BSD based VPS systems. The idea behind it is simple. Many people want to try FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, but they either do not have the hardware for it or they do not want to spend money just to experiment. BoxyBSD fills exactly this gap. The project offers free virtual machines that are easy to get started with. It focuses on helping beginners, students and anyone who wants to explore the BSD world without any barriers. Everything is maintained by volunteers who believe that open source should be accessible to everyone. BoxyBSD is not just hosting. It is meant to support learning, share knowledge and give people a place where they can work with BSD systems in a simple and friendly environment. In short, BoxyBSD exists to make BSD easier to explore and to give something back to the open source community.

⚠️Important Notice: After many years of running BoxyBSD, the time has come to officially shut the project down. BoxyBSD started with a simple and clear mission: to provide an accessible platform for learners and beginners to explore BSD-based systems without the need for spare hardware, prior knowledge, or complex setup. It was meant to be a place where anyone could spin up real virtual machines, work with fixed and static IPs, and benefit from globally distributed locations for low latency testing. A playground, a lab, and a learning environment all in one! You can find more information in the Fediverse channel at: https://lnkd.in/dhV3QTAa

#FOSDEM was great, wasn't it? Several years later, we're still the major player for providing free (BSD based) VPS instances for beginners and learners! Really happy to see this happen! Big thanks to all our sponsors at https://lnkd.in/eYupKCzK
