A little over three years ago, LowEndTalk member @MarkLuun put together a guide to hosting providers who either offer or colocate Raspberry Pi systems.
Why host on a Raspberry Pi? It’s not just a cheap dedicated server option—it’s also a fun way to experiment with ARM systems. Some folks want complete control over their environment or need to run processes 24/7 without getting flagged by providers for hogging CPU cycles. Sure, an Intel Xeon or AMD Ryzen will blow the Pi out of the water in terms of performance, but snagging a dedicated server for just $3.14 a month (at DataIdeas) is hard to beat. I had a Pi at DataIdeas for a while and it was a great machine for small web sites and utility code.
In my case, I rented a Pi but if you have one, you can ship it for colocation. Sure easier than packing up some 4U monster and hoping it arrives without dents!
Back in 2021, @MarkLuun’s comprehensive list had about 3 dozen providers – now he’s up to over 50 for colo and a dozen for rent. Neat stuff! If you’re curious about Raspberry Pi hosting, that list is a great place to start exploring your options.
Thanks to @MarkLuun for putting this list together for our community.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
