About TierHive
TierHive is a budget KVM VPS project run by Kernel Keepers LTD. It runs on a custom platform built on a minimal QEMU/KVM/libvirt stack, designed to fill the gap between a homelab and enterprise hosting at an ultra-low price. Please note that it targets development, tinkering, and self-hosting rather than enterprise workloads. There is no SLA, hardware varies by location, and backups are your responsibility.
