Regular tiers are intended for personal use. These tiers cover raw hosting costs and contribute a little towards people's time spent maintaining the service.
To keep hosting costs low, VMs in this tier may run on machines using desktop-class CPUs and RAM without ECC. Between 30 to 50 gothub.org subdomains may share one physical server.
At present, we are renting root servers hosted by manitu in Germany for these tiers.
Prices include VAT / sales tax.
| Tier | RAM | Repositories | Price/Month | Small 2025 | 1 GB | 1 GB | 10 € |
| Medium 2025 | 2 GB | 6 GB | 17 € |
| Large 2025 | 4 GB | 16 GB | 22 € |
Fancypants tiers are intended for personal and professional use. These tiers cover raw hosting costs and contribute towards people's time spent maintaining the service. Your support requests are given higher priority than those of regular tiers.
VMs in this tier run on machines with server-class CPUs and ECC RAM. Between 12 to 40 gothub.org subdomains may share one physical server.
At present, we are renting root servers hosted by BSWS in Germany for these tiers.

The procedure for booking tiers is documented on our signup page.
If you are unsure about your RAM requirements, run git gc or gotadmin cleanup on your largest repository and monitor memory usage of these commands. Our servers regularly run gotadmin cleanup.
All tiers include off-site repository backup by default. If you do not want us to handle backups for you then the available repository disk space can be doubled.
Changing tiers is possible by letting a subscription run out and booking a new one. Repositories on the previous VM will become read-only for 4 weeks, allowing you to migrate them. Contact admins@ ahead of time if you would like us to migrate repositories for you.
We will revise tiers over time, at least once per year, based on user feedback and our current financial situation and workload. We will offer revised tiers at lower prices if possible. Our goal is to achieve fair pricing while remaining sustainable.
If there are providers in other locations you would be interested in, we would like to learn about them. We will not consider hosting servers at large companies. We prefer small- or medium-sized companies and non-profits.
Please contact us if you have further questions.
