We're out and about again today, off to London for the London Internet Exchange #LINX member meeting.

Off to the #IPv6 council meeting today. With UK adoption over 50% we're now working on connecting up the minority of internet users who are v4 only.

We recently became Accredited .ie Registrars and the first part of our .ie integration is now live. Transfer your .ie domains to us and enjoy our refreshingly boring pricing. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/11...

@dastardlybro.bsky.social We use Nextcloud for @chtra.org.uk. It works pretty well on a small virtual server. @mythic-beasts.com provide a hosted version.

We've joined the panel for Nominets new DNS Fund, they have £370k to be distributed to open source DNS projects and their dependencies. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/09...

The Green Web Foundation has re-verified that we use renewable energy in our UK and EU zones. app.greenweb.org/directory/#1...

Off to the @nominet.uk members conference today. nominet.uk/uk-members-c...

A great site, absolutely worthy of the Ronseal of Approval. And thanks also to @mythic-beasts.com for hosting it! I'm a happy customer of their DNS and domain services.

Why we no longer support the use of Cloudflare on our web and email hosting accounts. Spoiler: it's AI bot scraping. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/09...

We think we might have some engineering nerds on staff. The live stream of Big Karl lowering a 245 ton steel dome onto @hinkleypointc.bsky.social is causing some distractions this morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT-n...

"The reason I am here is because my parents bought me a @raspberrypi.com as a child'. New talented summer student demonstrates a very slow but very valuable return on investment.

My Domains are on Cloudflare; Hosting is a mix of local VMs and cloud computing, including @mythic-beasts.com (Raspberry Pi Hosting)

VMHaus is now fully closed. The unused customer balances totaled €4550 after we rounded them all up and this has been donated to NLNet to support the Open Internet. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/06...

Well, that's me migrated from Hostgator to @mythic-beasts.com - let's see how it goes! Also moved an e-mail domain from historic Google Business hosting too. Hostgator took the piss with pricing a couple of years ago (sudden $10 increase), finally sorting it now. This'll save 20 quid a month. 1/3

#IPv6 usage in the UK now over 50% according to Google. Still someway behind Germany (75%) and France (84%) but to out of context quote Jon Bon Jovi, "woah oh, we're half way there'. www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6...

Our secret research program reveals that more than one rubber duck per primary school girl optimises code generation efficiency in robot building challenges. Advances in #ActualIntelligence #AI www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/04...

We once suggested blocking a million IPs to deal with abusive AI crawlers. In hindsight that was a pretty severe underestimate www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/04...

Today's special request from the order form.

Another day with multiple staff focused on blocking abusive AI crawlers rather than doing something useful.

Email alphabet soup, a variety of acronyms that throw your email away explained partly with the help of a cat. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/03...

Today, Index, @openrightsgroup.bsky.social and @bigbrotherwatch.bsky.social wrote to the President of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, calling for the secret Tribunal into the Home Office's encryption-breaching order against Apple to be held in public: www.indexoncensorship.org/2025/03/righ...

We sponsor the hosting for this not only because it unambiguously makes the UK a better place but also because we extensively use it for our own travel needs too.

Save Our Sites! Faced with fines under the UK Online Safety Act, dozens of harmless, safe, small websites will shut down by the 17 March deadline. This is a threat to net plurality and federated social media! Find out more ⬇️ #SaveOurSites www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/save-ou...

Remember we all must do our part to maintain Internet reliability so we have an un-interruptable supply of cat pictures. #FloofDayFriday

ORG is immensely grateful for the invaluable support that @mythic-beasts.com gives us 🌱 It's truly game-changing and allows us to focus more resources on campaigning. #DigitalRightsAreHumanRights

We've been sponsoring the @openrightsgroup.bsky.social with donated servers to assist them in campaigning for digital rights, most notably the ability to encrypt your data and keep it secure. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/02...

Definitely recommend @mythicbeasts.bsky.social. STUNNING support and excellent value for money. I moved all my domains and hosting to them, and am somehow getting a top-notch managed service for my @libreture.com server for a very reasonable price. Their support is [chef's kiss]!

For extra online security, I change my online banking password once a year. As well as securing my personal information, it also frees up my old password for others to use. So if anyone wants some passwords that I don't use anymore, feel free to avail of Password2022, Password2023 and Password2024 👍

If your website tells me I need to use the app, you won't make me use the app, you'll make me stop using the website

Unfortunately due to excessive demand we've had to stop offering five digit customer numbers starting with a 2 for new customers.

Delighted to see @mythicbeasts.bsky.social have made it to bsky. They're a great and very responsive UK based company so if you're after a UK hosting company with an easy to use portal (they're my registrar) check them out! (they also have a presence on Mastodon @[email protected])

After nearly drowning in an alphabet soup of anti-spam acronyms whilst trying to explain to a customer why email forwarding doesn't work, Kelduum decided to let off steam on our blog. www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/01...
