Who We Are
Over 10 years of crypto node hosting experience.
HostDudes is built for people who want to run crypto nodes without managing servers, running CLI commands, or digging through logs. We handle setup and support across multiple ecosystems, with over 1,000 nodes hosted.
Our hardware is owned and operated in-house, not rented or resold from a third-party VPS provider. That gives us tighter control over reliability and avoids the common issues that come with rebranded hosting.
How It Works
From Discord ticket to live nodes in four steps.
01
Join the Discord
Hop in the server and open a hosting ticket. Make sure you have your node license purchased so we can guide you from there.
02
Tell us what you want hosted
Provide your hosting information:
- How many of each node you want to run
- Email for invoicing
- API key or identifier your ecosystem requires
- Public wallet receiving address, when the ecosystem needs one
03
We confirm your setup
We confirm your setup details, send your first invoice by email through Xero, and prepare your machine.
04
Your node goes live
Pay with PayPal, or with a credit/debit card through Stripe. We will let you know when your node is online.
If your node has issues later, open a support ticket and we will do our best to get it back up and online.
FAQ
Common questions, answered.
What does "fully handled" actually mean?
We handle your server setup and hosting, so you do not have to worry about the technical side. If an issue comes up, we will help address it. All you need to do is keep an eye on your node and tell us if something seems wrong. We work hard to keep things running smoothly, but we cannot guarantee uptime or rewards.
What if I want an ecosystem that isn't listed yet?
Jump into Discord and ask. We regularly evaluate new ecosystems, especially ones similar to what we already host.
Is Discord support really included at no extra charge?
Yes. It comes with every hosted node at no extra charge.
Can I run multiple nodes on one machine?
Yes, within the same ecosystem. Some node types can share one Virtual Machine (VM) and you only pay per node. Different ecosystems, like Gala and LFG, run on separate VMs.
How does the promo pricing work?
The $4.99 per node per month rate applies to new hosting requests for currently listed nodes while the promotion is active. Existing customers may contact us to ask whether their current hosting is eligible. Regular pricing is $10.99 per node per month.
What if I only want to start with one node?
That is totally fine. Start with one and add more whenever you are ready.
Do I need any technical knowledge to get started?
No. Tell us what you want to run and we handle the rest. If you can join a Discord server and have a node license, you are ready to go.
How do I pay?
Invoices are sent via email through Xero. You can pay with PayPal, or with a credit or debit card through Stripe.
Do you ever touch my wallet or rewards?
No. We only ask for the minimal information needed to host your node, such as how many of each node you want, an email for invoicing, and any API key the ecosystem requires. Where an ecosystem or referral payout needs one, we'll also ask for a public wallet receiving address. You never have to connect a wallet to use our services.
