Self-hosted Pi-hole,
fully managed.
Network-wide ad and tracker blocking. We pair it with WireGuard by default so it is never an open resolver.
Billed yearly on a 1 GB server, or $6 month to month. Pi-hole itself is $0.

At a glance
Pi-hole here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- Pi-hole is network-level ad and tracker blocking: a DNS sinkhole that filters junk for every device pointed at it, with a dashboard showing exactly what your network talks to.
- What we install
- The playbook deploys the current Pi-hole with sensible blocklists, DNS locked to your addresses or your WireGuard tunnel rather than the open internet, HTTPS on the dashboard, and upstream resolvers of your choice.
- What managed covers
- Platform and server updates, daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups of configuration and lists, monitoring, and the managed firewall enforcing who may query it. Never an open resolver, by construction.
- What it needs
- 1 GB RAM
Fits on SC-1GB, from $5/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

Three ways to run Pi-hole.
Installing Pi-hole is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.
| Do it yourselfOn any unmanaged VPS | One-click imageAt most clouds | RemarkableCloudManaged Pi-hole, from $5/mo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installing Pi-hole | You: dependencies, database, HTTPS | Preinstalled once, then it is yours | Deployed by a tested playbook, database and HTTPS wired |
| Updates | You | You | Us, with a snapshot first |
| Monitoring and security | You | You | Us, 24/7: monitoring, firewall and IDS |
| Backups | You | Usually a paid add-on | Daily snapshots included, Dual Backups optional |
| Other apps on the server | Yours to wire up | One app per server | As many as fit, $0 each |

What people run on Pi-hole here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
Network-wide ad blocking
Point your router's DNS here and every device on the network loses ads and trackers at the DNS layer.
A faster, private resolver
Local caching plus upstream of your choice, with query logs that belong to you.
Blocking policy for a family or office
Blocklists and per-client rules from one dashboard, no software on each device.
Pair with WireGuard
Stack the VPN beside it and your phone gets ad-free, filtered DNS anywhere in the world.

The details
Pi-hole here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Pi-hole hosting include?
A Pi-hole that filters for your devices wherever they are, configured safely (open resolvers get abused within hours; ours are locked by the firewall), updated and backed up, for $0 on top of the server.
Why host Pi-hole on a VPS instead of a Raspberry Pi?
Because a VPS follows you: paired with WireGuard, your phone on mobile data gets the same filtering as your laptop at home, and there is no SD card to corrupt or home IP to depend on. The Pi stays a lovely toy; this is the always-on version.
How do my devices use it?
Through the tunnel, ideally: the WireGuard config hands out Pi-hole as DNS automatically, so connecting to the VPN is the whole setup. Fixed-IP locations like an office can be allow-listed directly in the firewall instead.
What does it actually block?
Ads, trackers, telemetry, and malware domains across every app on the device, not just browsers, which is the part browser extensions cannot reach. The query log shows the surprising truth about what your gadgets phone home to.
FAQ
Pi-hole hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Pi-hole need?
1 GB is ample; DNS filtering is light work, which makes it a free-feeling addition to any stack.
Is an open resolver a risk?
Yes, a serious one, which is why ours never is: queries are limited to your tunnel or your named addresses at the firewall level.
Can I customize the lists?
Fully: add or remove blocklists, allow-list what breaks, and per-client rules through the dashboard. Backed up daily like everything else.
Can my home network use a Pi-hole hosted here?
Yes, most cleanly through the WireGuard pairing: devices tunnel to the server and use Pi-hole as their DNS. Exposing raw public DNS is deliberately not the default, since open resolvers attract abuse.
Will it break sites I actually use?
Occasionally a legitimate domain lands on a list; the query log shows it and whitelisting is two clicks. The default lists are curated to keep breakage rare.
Is this Pi-hole on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Pi-hole runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Can you help me move my existing data over?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Pi-hole runs. You sleep.
