GIVE YOUR SERVER SOMEWHERE BETTER TO SCREAM
 
BunnyLab server room

SERVER HOUSING FROM CHF 59 / MONTH
Got a server turning your apartment into a sauna? A NAS that has grown into a rack? A bargain enterprise box that sounded much quieter in the online listing?

BunnyLab gives it somewhere else to live.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

I love old computers, strange electronics, ridiculous engineering projects and preserving hardware that would otherwise disappear. BunnyLab is the workshop and archive behind the things I build and show on my YouTube channel, Curious Computer.

By hosting your server here, you are not just renting a little bit of electricity and floor space from me. You are directly helping me pay for the archive, keep the workshop alive, preserve more machines and continue making new projects and videos.

So if you need somewhere for your server to live anyway, you can become a small part of the BunnyLab journey while getting the heat and fan noise out of your own home.

Rack servers are welcome. Towers are welcome. Old workstations are welcome. Weird hardware is particularly unsurprising here.

PLANS & PRICES
 
Pricing is based mainly on power consumption, not just rack height. That means old, bulky or unusual hardware does not automatically become expensive simply because it is large.

Every plan includes one Gigabit Ethernet connection, two power connections and reverse proxy service.

PLAN / SERVICE ONE-TIME PER MONTH
STARTER
Starter Hosting
70 W power allowance, up to 3U, 1 Ethernet connection, 2 power connections, reverse proxy
CHF 30* CHF 59
UPS-backed power - + CHF 15
HOMELAB
Homelab Hosting
120 W power allowance, up to 3U, 1 Ethernet connection, 2 power connections, reverse proxy
CHF 30* CHF 99
UPS-backed power
CHF 15 per started 100 W; 120 W = CHF 30
- + CHF 30
200 W / FULL-SIZE
200 W Hosting
200 W power allowance, no rack-height limit, 1 Ethernet connection, 2 power connections, reverse proxy
CHF 30* CHF 170
UPS-backed power
CHF 15 per started 100 W
- + CHF 30
OPTIONS & EXPANSION
Additional 200 W power allowance - + CHF 40
UPS for each additional 200 W - + CHF 20
Additional Ethernet connection CHF 10 / connection -
Additional power connection CHF 10 / connection -

* Initial setup is CHF 30. The setup fee is waived with a 12-month contract.
WHAT DOES "POWER ALLOWANCE" MEAN?
Power is metered. The allowance is based on your machine's normal long-term consumption, spikes well above the stated power allowance temporarily is totally fine.


WHICH PLAN IS FOR ME?
 
STARTER - CHF 59 / MONTH
For efficient little servers, routers, small NAS boxes and machines that simply need somewhere outside your home to live. Up to 3U and 70 W included.

HOMELAB - CHF 99 / MONTH
The middle ground for a typical efficient homelab server. Up to 3U with 120 W included.

200 W / FULL-SIZE - CHF 170 / MONTH
For proper enterprise servers, towers and bigger boxes. 200 W included and no rack-height limit.

NEED EVEN MORE?
Add another 200 W for CHF 40 per month. Large, unusual and gloriously unreasonable hardware can be discussed directly.


SPACE IS CHEAP. ELECTRICITY IS NOT.
 
Traditional colocation is often priced heavily around rack units. BunnyLab works a little differently.

A sleepy 3U storage server drawing 60 W is not three times harder to host than a 1U machine. Meanwhile a tiny box drawing several hundred watts absolutely does affect power and heat.

So the smaller plans allow up to 3U, and from the 200 W plan onward there is no rack-height limit. Towers, unusual chassis and other odd hardware can also be accommodated where practical.

WHAT YOU GET
 
GIGABIT ETHERNET
Every hosted machine includes one Gigabit Ethernet connection to the BunnyLab network. Additional physical Ethernet connections can be added if your hardware needs them.

TWO POWER CONNECTIONS INCLUDED
Dual-PSU server? No problem. Every plan includes two physical power connections. More can be added where required. (People told me thats a scam, because "two power connections" is not a feature, but a requirement for dual-PSU servers. I am aware of that, but eeh, whatever redundant power suplies usually should plug into a UPS which this doesnt include. But you at least dont get the annoying "PSU fail" error okay, its something...)

OPTIONAL UPS
The Swiss power grid is exceptionally stable and outages are rare, so not every homelab machine needs battery-backed power. If yours does, UPS capacity can be added to any plan.

REVERSE PROXY INCLUDED
Reverse proxy service is included with every plan. Separate public IP addresses are unfortunately not part of the normal service yet, mainly because of the limitations and pricing of the current Internet connection. For customers with special requirements and the necessary budget, a dedicated solution may be arranged.

PHYSICAL ACCESS
Need to swap a disk, install RAM or argue personally with an uncooperative RAID controller? Physical access can be arranged.

BEST-EFFORT REMOTE HANDS
I am roughly 20 minutes away. When I am available I can reboot a machine, check cables, read displays, move hardware or help with other simple physical jobs. (also when the lab is open on the main page, that means I am around the lab and if you call me, chances are good that I can help immidiately.)

LOCKED PREMISES
The server room itself can be locked and sits behind multiple layers of locked doors and badge-controlled access. (you dont get a lock for each and every customer, the server room is locked and only I have the key. So yes, I have access, but I can also be trusted, and if your hardware gets stolen, you know who it was LOL.)


HOSTED IN SWITZERLAND
 
Your physical server stays in Switzerland, in the Bernese Oberland.

This means you are not subject to the laws of any other country, and your data is not automatically shared with foreign governments. Switzerland has strong privacy laws and a long tradition of neutrality. Infact I kinda dont care what you do there, I am just housing your server, you are responsible for your own data and what you do with it. I am not a lawyer, but I think that is how it works.

Please dont do dumb stuff though, Id rather not have a raid infront of my door please :)

BEST EFFORT, HUMAN SCALE
 
BunnyLab hosting is operated on a best-effort basis.

That means I make a reasonable effort to keep the network and infrastructure running, respond when something goes wrong and help with customer hardware where I reasonably can.

The swiss power grid is very stable and outages are very rare. The internet on the other hand can be a bit more unreliable but its not bad. I dont guarantee 24/7 uptime, and unfortunately I dont have multiwan redundant internet connections yet, but you should be fine. I mean there is a reason why this here is so cheap, if you really need 100% uptime, maybe go pay 1000bucks/ month to whatever offers you this LOL but none the less, I will do my best to keep your server online and happy. But fixing someone elses fuckup in my ISPs network is unfortunatly out of my control.

But if you need anything special, I am happy to discuss it and see if we can make it work. I am always open to try new things and improove stuff. Its usually a question of financing though, so dont expect me to do miracles for free, but if you are willing to pay for it, I am willing to try and make it happen.

BUNNYLAB COMPUTE CLUSTER
 
COMING SOON

BunnyLab is also building a large compute cluster intended for rented batch-processing and compute jobs.

The cluster is not available to customers yet. Hardware details, supported workloads and pricing will appear once the service is actually operational.

WANT YOUR SERVER OUT OF THE HOUSE?
 
Send an email to toby@analogic.ch and tell me what you have.

Useful information:
• What the machine is
• Approximate size / rack height
• Average power consumption if known
• Whether you want UPS-backed power
• What you need from the network

Not sure how much power it uses? That is fine. Tell me what is inside and we can work it out.
