as a Service

Mastodon is an open-source federated microblogging platform — short posts, follows, replies, boosts — combining the conversational shape of X with the ownership and portability of self-hosted infrastructure. Your instance speaks ActivityPub, so your users can follow and be followed by anyone on Threads, Pixelfed, Misskey, or any other federating server, without giving up control of your domain.

No more maintenance headaches!
Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service
I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

Love the personalized service!

n8n runs excellent

David Hartmann

Smooth experience
I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Love the freedom
I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.
Elias Koch

Wow just wow
After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!
I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast
4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Atanas

Vaultwarden 10/10
I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

Edward Nelson

Everything just works!
My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!
Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

Filip

Very proactive!
Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!
I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Awesome customer service
I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard
Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Great service!
I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience
I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Its a great service
Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!
I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

USE CASES
Three teams who run Mastodon on DANIAN
These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.
9-PERSON CLIMATE RESEARCH NONPROFIT
Building a science-communication presence X can't switch off
Germany region for low-latency peering. ElasticSearch enabled — adds 1 GB RAM — so 200 monthly-active researchers can search across long-form citation threads. Storage configured with tootctl media remove --days 14. A bot account cross-posts new preprints from the lab's Zenodo DOI feed. Defederation list synced with the #fediblock allow-list every Sunday.
24-REPORTER JOURNALISM COLLECTIVE
Verified reporter identity without renting verification from a paid platform
USA datacenter region for newsroom latency. Sidekiq queues split into per-queue systemd processes — default at 60 threads, pull at 40 — anticipating breaking-news fanout. Post character limit raised from 500 to 1,500 so a lede paragraph fits in one toot. rel="me" verification on each reporter's bio links to the masthead page. Daily tootctl media remove --days 7.
4,200-FACIULTY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Institutional brand and data residency without a Rails team
Canada region matching the institution's data-residency requirements. SSO via institutional SAML. ElasticSearch off — keeps RAM at 8 GB on the shared VM. Per-department custom emoji packs. Defederation list synced with the higher-ed Mastodon trust group; rel="me" verification on faculty profile pages.
COMPARISON
Four ways to run Mastodon
The math at any organization size, comparing the three real alternatives to managed Mastodon. Paid-platform tiers, self-host on a VPS with your own DevOps, run a server in your office, or pay a flat €9 per app per month and let us run the federation plumbing.
Path 1 — Paid platform tiers. X (formerly Twitter) sells organizational presence through Premium Business: $200/month for Basic, $1,000/month for Full Access, plus $50/month per affiliated employee. You get a verification check and ranking boost. You do not get your domain, your data, or any guarantee against being switched off the platform.
Path 2 — Self-host on a VPS. Mastodon's official documentation, real admin postmortems, and the upstream GitHub Discussions all describe the same operational shape: a $24/month production-class VPS, $5/month object storage, $15/month monitoring, plus 1-2 hours every month patching, watching Sidekiq queue depth, and running tootctl cleanup. At freelance-sysadmin rates that is €60-240/month in time alone.
Path 3 — Home server. A Synology DS923+ or business-grade mini-PC runs Mastodon, but you also pay business-grade internet with a static IP, electricity for 24/7 operation, off-site backup storage, and the operational time to run all of it. €210-667/month effective, plus hardware amortized over three years.
Path 4 — Managed by DANIAN. Flat €9/month per app at the base tier. Sidekiq tuning, retention cron, and a human on chat are all included. The math holds at 1 admin, 5 admins, or 10 — your bill doesn't grow with your team.
| PATH | 1 ADMIN | 5 ADMINS | 10 ADMINS | YOU OWN THE DOMAIN | SIDEIQ TUNNING | MEDIA RETENTION CRON | IF IT BREAKS AT 2AM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X Premium Business | $1,000/mo | $1,200/mo | $1,450/mo | No (subdomain on x.com) | N/A (rented) | N/A | File a support ticket |
| Self-host on a VPS | ~€100-280/mo (infra + time) | Same per instance | Same per instance | Yes | TEYouT | You | You wake up |
| Home server | ~€210-667/mo (infra + time) | Same per instance | Same per instance | Yes | You | You | You wake up |
| DANIAN Managed Mastodon | €9/mo | €9/mo | €9/mo | Yes | We do | We do | We're already on it |
BY INDUSTRY
Mastodon for specific industries
Four configurations where running Mastodon on DANIAN solves a specific operational problem better than either renting from a paid platform or building from scratch. The configuration changes by industry — character limit, ElasticSearch on or off, federation policy, retention cron — and so does the workflow.
