Nonprofit

Our nonprofit status helps us keep our services affordable and accessible. Clients receive periodic reimbursements for excess profit.

How do reimbursements work?

As a nonprofit, Birdflop periodically reimburses clients based on excess profit. At the end of each reimbursement period, active clients receive a reimbursement for excess profit from their plan. These reimbursements are dependent on usage, maximally lowering prices at high service utilization. Last quarter, US clients received a 33.7% reimbursement and EU clients received a 26% reimbursement, effectively lowering prices to $1.99/GB RAM and $1.48/GB RAM for the US and EU, respectively. Not good enough? Find a competitor with similar specifications and inquire about our price matching. 

Historical Reimbursement Rates for US and EU Clients

Where do my payments go?

Birdflop is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. As such, all profit generated is reinvested into improving our services and accomplishing our mission. Your service fees are used for covering our server costs, including building new servers, colocation fees, server rental fees, and software licensing fees. Our quarterly financial report is proudly displayed on the left.

Your payments get you the best possible rate while contributing to the development of our free public resources. We reimburse clients based on excess profit, and we never overload our servers. View our server statistics on the Node Stats page.

I've been with Birdflop about a year and a half now. I've experienced amazing customer service and it's very obvious they prioritize the satisfaction of their customers over profits. I have 0 complaints and I rate this a 5 out of 5.

Oliver Flynn

Great hosting

Best hosting I have ever used. great owners, fast help, amazing servers. all around a good host.

Kayla T.Kayla T.

I've been using Birdflop for a week now and I've gotten service that is not only cheaper than a shared CPU VPS at a hosting provider, but excellent support from the support team on odd issues I've had. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a more personalized hosting experience with administrators that are open to looking at optimizing their platform to prevent cross-contamination of resource exhaustion.
