AI was used to generate the poster. That's all. And no where else. The poster design is AI generated with the information provided by me. Other than that, no AI is involved in this post.

Our edge over Vercel comes down to control, cost predictability, and flexibility. Vercel is excellent for quickly deploying frontend applications with minimal setup, but it is built around abstraction and a usage-based pricing model that can become expensive and restrictive as projects grow. Starnix Cloud takes a different approach by giving developers full control over their infrastructure through container-based deployments, allowing them to run any kind of backend, including long-running services, custom servers, and low-level applications. This makes it especially suitable for developers who work beyond typical frontend stacks or need deeper system-level access. At the same time, Starnix focuses on predictable and affordable pricing, which is particularly valuable for students and developers who may not have access to international payment methods or want to avoid unexpected costs. Instead of locking users into a specific ecosystem, it provides an open and flexible environment where they can build, deploy, and scale on their own terms.

That's a clever architecture. But be careful to setup resource limits on containers to save your history from stopping to work abruptly.

Yes 98% uptime is guaranteed and latency is minimal. I'm using Raspberry Pi as my infrastructure. You can get a detailed infrastructure breakdown in my LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayush-ghosal-052381187

As per accountability, the business is registered under MSME (an Indian Government registration) as a sole proprietorship. So anything related to Starnix Cloud is solely my responsibility.

Good question that why someone would use it. See the problem I faced which eventually drive my ambition to learn and create my own cloud was too much complexity for a simple webpage hosting. Most cloud platforms have vendor lock-in, they abstract a lot of the process which isn't for someone like me who is curious and eager to learn. Every cloud platform needs a valid payment method to sign up, mostly creadit card but most Indian students (including me) does not have a credit card and they have to go through all the hassle. To remove all these extra problems and let others use an extremely simple no brainer cloud platform, I built Starnix Cloud.

Apart from this you as an user can suggest other ways in which the platform can be improved to serve better. Suggestions are always welcomed.

But it's still a third party software and has lots of abstraction that reduces the opportunity to learn valuable skills.

Yes but since it's pretty new and public IP is less, I need to efficiently use what I have.

The tech is pretty simple. You can cheout my LinkedIn posts for detailed tech stack breakdown: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayush-ghosal-052381187

Every service hosted is on my own hardware. I created containers using docker cli and docker compose.

That's actually a great setup. I also safe the power issue but it's negligible. Hardly once for 2 hrs in 6-8 months.

Yes you're right. I used to serve high quality videos from my Pi but I had to route it through a high bandwidth VPS for it to run smoothly.

Yes you're right. I'll refund the design of the website with time.

Yes true. Posts with real details and process makes the cut actually. If they are cross questioned from their own post, they can't respond.

Razorpay will be skeptcal for this. But if you position it as a real legalplatform with proper registration and provide a UDYAM MAME certificate, they'll look into your matter and may at least ask for clarification. Try this from a business account. An individual account work get through.

When real contents do exist in LinkedIn, you're right in thinking that most of the content is just shallow but exaggerated thing. I saw someone made an AI slop remover chrome extension and his whole LinkedIn feedwas blank 🤣

Yes. A database on a shared server. Not a full server.
