Pibbo is not the only penguin in the family.

Web hosting is just a small part of our internet world.

Pibbo grew out of our experience with OSCLOUD, where for years we have been running all sorts of internet services built mainly on open-source technology. From storing files and photos through communication to social networks and video sharing.

OSCLOUD — A more open internet for everyone.

We believe the internet can work differently from a few giant platforms where you often pay for convenience with your data, your privacy or endless adverts. And because we enjoy not just talking about alternatives but actually running them, OSCLOUD was born.

OSCLOUD is a community-minded project that aims to make useful online services available to ordinary users. You do not need your own server, to know Linux or to understand what Docker is. Just pick a service that makes sense to you and start using it. We take care of the technical running.

And it is precisely the experience of running these services every day that we have carried over into Pibbo.

What we run as part of OSCLOUD

You will find the current range and terms of each service on the OSCLOUD website. Most OSCLOUD services are in Czech.

Files

Cloud storage

Your files under your control.

Your documents, files and other important data do not automatically have to live with the biggest tech companies. Work with your files, share them and have them available on all your devices.

Photos

Ente Photos

Photos that belong to you.

A service focused on private, encrypted storage and management of your photos. Your memories deserve more than being yet another source of data for advertising algorithms.

Social network

Mamutovo.cz

A social network with a difference.

Our Czech instance of Mastodon, the open social network made up of independent servers. Share your thoughts and follow interesting people without becoming a product of an advertising machine.

Photo sharing

Pixelfed

Photos without chasing the algorithm.

An open alternative to the usual photo social networks. Because sometimes a photo should just be a photo. Not an opportunity to sell you new shoes.

Video

VHSky.cz

Video without YouTube.

A Czech and Slovak video platform built on the open PeerTube system. And yes, a video can exist without someone trying to sell you a new car three times before it starts.

Tools

Communication and teamwork

Everyday tools without your own infrastructure.

Secure communication, working on documents together, organising tasks, managing passwords or online meetings. Many of them are open-source projects developed by communities all over the world.

So what does all this have to do with Pibbo?

Quite a lot. Pibbo was not an isolated attempt at web hosting. It came about as the next step of a project that already has experience running internet services, managing servers, security, updates and supporting users.

The technologies we use are not just something we read about in the documentation. We work with them every day. And thanks to that, we can put our OSCLOUD experience to work in running Pibbo too.

Both projects share the same philosophy: understandable services, affordable prices, open technology and a personal approach.

You do not have to use everything.

This matters to us. You do not need hosting with Pibbo to use OSCLOUD services. And you do not need OSCLOUD to register a domain or run a website with Pibbo.

Every service has its own purpose and you can choose only what you actually need. No compulsory bundles, no artificial tying of services together. Just the internet the way you need it.

One internet. Lots of possibilities.

Whether you want to run your own website, store photos, share videos, chat with friends or try more open alternatives to the usual internet services, we are happy to show you what is possible.

Pibbo looks after your corner of the web. OSCLOUD opens the door to more possibilities. And together they show that the internet does not have to belong only to big tech companies.
