Who it suits

Home-hosted dedicated server operators Groups sharing admin duties Players using supported Thunderstore games

Choose HaruHost when your group wants dedicated servers on hardware you control, plus shared administration, scheduled maintenance, crash recovery, monitoring, and Thunderstore profiles. The free personal tier gives you a way to start. However, this remains a beta product, and the optional relay has bandwidth, game-support, encryption, and IP-privacy limits. You also handle the underlying machine. Because premium prices are not displayed and commercial use has subscription requirements, check the current terms before building a larger or paid setup.
